 and welcome to Lent and Easter 2015!

Going through our "new issues", I have chose a few anthems that I hope will make your searching a bit easier.

As usual, if you don't see what fits your choir, I'll be glad to help you further. Just call (314-942-3228) or email me and give me more information about how I can help. My normal schedule at the store is Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, but Cindy, Mark or Kevin can help you out on any days I'm not here. 

Wishing you a blessed Easter! - Dick Boyd
