Choir Rehearsal (April 14)

At choir rehearsal today, after doing some brief warm up exercises, we practiced the Troparia and Kontakia for the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women, a setting of the Cherubic Hymn set to the melody of the "Noble Joseph" (which we will sing on Sunday), two more versions of "The Angel Cried...", and another setting of the Paschal Exaposteilarion "In the Flesh...". This was followed by a meeting where many interesting things were discussed. Please see Rachel if you have any questions.

Of particular note, we have two weddings coming up: GROUP 1 May 1st (2 PM - Kristin Henke); GROUP 2 May 29th (3 PM Aliya Kassimova and Andrew Nystrom).

Art-a-Whirl performance is on Saturday, May 15 (5:15 PM). We will be rehearsing for this in the coming weeks.

Pentecost is on May 23rd. Memorial Day is on May 31st - Liturgy 8:30 AM, Program following. It is also the first day of the Peter and Paul Fast...
