Holy Week is one of the most meaningful seasons in the church year.  Sunday’s celebrations of Palms and Passion were wonderful and I can’t wait for our other special services, especially the Faure’ Requiem performed by our adult choir with Jonathan Kaan on the organ.  Below is the schedule for the rest of the week:

Here is the schedule for the next two weeks:

Wednesday, March 23, Regular Rehearsals

    Covenant Carillons at 6:30 pm.  Adult Choir at 7:00 pm (please 

     note!)

Thursday, March 24, arrive 6:30 for 7:00 pm Maundy Thursday Communion Service

Friday, March 25, Arrive 6:30 for 7:00 pm Good Friday Service

Sunday, March 27, Arrive 7:45 am to rehearse for both services on Easter

    The Sunrise service is at 6:30 am.  The youth choir is not performing but will help lead the     service.

Young Children take note!  During the month of April, Pre-schoolers (3 by 9/1/2015) through Kindergarten will have choir during CKY from 12:45 to 1:30 pm with new member Janet Butler.  This choir will meet in Room A (our music room) off the Sanctuary (NE corner).  The children will rehearse for 4 weeks and perform on May 1st at the 11:00 service.  Don’t miss this opportunity!

Grades 1-5 will have chime rehearsal during the month of April.  We will rehearse in the children’s choir room (upstairs in the ed. bldg.) immediately following their choir rehearsal. We will rehearse for 4 Sundays and then perform in the Spring Ring Concert on April 24 at 4:00 pm.

Here are the links to Faure’ parts.  Thank you Dan Patman for providing them:

They are keyboard only and they show the music as the keyboard plays.

Step up to the plate with Little Big Stuff and swing for the fences of fun and faith with

In the Big Inning!

When the kids gather at the park near the church for a Saturday of baseball, they are in for a surprising glimpse at the Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11.  They’ll meet Moses (“he got his start in the bush leagues”), Noah (“that guy can really swing the lumber!”), Abraham (“with his son Isaac at the plate, it looks like the manager is calling for a sacrifice . . . “), and many more. With shades of the iconic

Casey at the Bat,

it all leads to the climactic finish of

Jesus at the Cross,

and the Good News of the Gospel is driven home with power!
