 As
the Director of the Huron Shores Chorus, I want to thank
the Fellowship Committee, especially Bea Martin and Vida Minard
for the lovely reception they provided for the choir and audience
after the April concert program. Everyone always enjoy the
opportunity to visit together afterwards. And...to the Session
and this congregation, thank you for allowing us to present
our program in this wonderful and welcoming sanctuary.
And,
as the Director of Music for TAPC . . . isn't it wonderful
to have our choir and Marcy back? Remember, we still have
lots of empty seats, especially in the tenor and bass sections.
We welcome Mike Crain as a new choir member and keep praying
that others in the congregation will be moved to join us.
During the time Rick and I will be gone in May and June, the
choir will be directed by Betty DeWilde, who is always a willing
and able substitute.
Special
THANKS to all who shared their musical gifts with us during
the past few months. We are truly blessed by your gifts.
