CHOIR UPDATE:

Our dedicated choir has begun bi-monthly rehearsals to prepare for our Lenten and Holy Week season, which includes a special musical Sunday on MARCH 30th. Mark your calendars! In lieu of a spoken sermon, the choir will share anthems, Scripture and poetry as part of our spiritual inspiration and worship that day.

Are there any All Saints parishioners who enjoy singing but cannot commit to singing year-round? Consider participating in several rehearsals and a musical Sunday or two in this upcoming season. We would welcome you! Contact me and we can talk!

Each year beginning on February 1, an entire month of events are planned nationwide honoring the history and contributions of African Americans.

Cissy Houston

In keeping with the nationwide celebration of Black History month, some of the music offered in our All Saints worship services in February will reflect the black gospel style of composition, and a few well-known favorites written and sung by our African American brothers and sisters. Listen for special instrumental renditions of "Amazing Grace", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus", and a choral medley that includes "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands".

This week I found and read a deeply insightful (and partly humorous) blog entitled "Let's Fix Black History Month". Take a few moments to read and absorb these thoughts from a bright and observant African American sister.

Blessings in your journey this week,

Holly Simons, Minister of Music
