As we near the end of the "choir season" I want to offer special thanks to our dedicated choir members and parents, instrumentalists, and all others who have played a part in supporting these ministers of music and worship! They have spent many hours honing their skills and "perfecting their praises." Thank you Parish Choir members : Walt Burrows, Tina Butler, Susan Cerullo, Ryan Cranston, Gail Cyr, Michelle Deloge, Camilla de Rochambeau, Marianne Goodrich, Mary B. Hall, Diane Hoffman, Norm Poulin, Eleanor Ricci, Carrie Scheff, Tom Spink and Nancy Wheaton. Thank you Youth Choir: Lena Clark, Audrey Finnochiaro, Hanna Madsen, Onyinye Okere, Alyssa Racine, Rachel Tierney. Thank you Rozanne Fuller, illustrious director of St. Paul’s Children’s Choir: Michaela Bergwall, John deRochambeau, Brooke Finocchiaro, Lydia Rumowicz, Samantha Sutton and Kristine Szrom. The Youth and Children’s Choir presented our annual Nursing Home concert and sing-along to residents of St. Elizabeth Home in May to much acclaim. Thank you "Choir at 8" member Patricia Lindley, who skillfully coached the Parish Choir on our liturgical Russian to prepare us for Trinity Evensong. And "hats off" to the hospitality ministry for another beautiful and delectable reception! Thanks to our special Youth Sunday participants: Katelyn Bennett and Michelle Deloge, sopranos; Maggie Galster, violin; and Jessye-Ray Leich on the drums! Looking for a break from the heat during Art Festival??? Come hear works of Alain, Bach, Clokey and others at one of the 30-minute organ recitals I will be offering July 9 at 1 & 2 pm. I will be presenting part of this program the following week at the National Convention of the American Organ Historical Society Annual Convention and in August at the Amsterdam International Organ Festival. Peace,
Mark
