PEACE CHOIR INFORMATION

I would like to thank the 19 singers who came together starting in November 2020, survived being ill with Covid 19, and continued to sing through May 2021! Way to go!!!

 However, as Laurie M. stated about the Bells of Peace, we would really like to get back to our pre-Covid numbers. We lost 3 basses, 3 tenors, 2 altos, and 5 sopranos during the Covid mess. We are extremely grateful that the Lord sent us several new singers: 2 basses, 1 tenor, 1 alto, 2 sopranos, and an additional accompanist.

 We are very sad to say “good-bye” to Clara who was such a great addition to the soprano section. Also, long time member Teresa R  has decided to go on the road with her husband. We will really miss Teresa, not just for singing, but also for her many other contributions to Peace.

 Rehearsals will start on Wednesday, August 25 at 6:30. Ensemble will start rehearsals on the following Wednesday, September 1 at 6:00.

 We need singers for all parts. We are especially desperate for sopranos.

See Becky Ritz, email her or contact the church office.

Baylor Singing Seniors Return

WE'RE BACK!!  The Baylor Singing Seniors will present a concert of various types and styles of Gospel Music on Sunday, August 8 at 6:00 pm at Western Heights Baptist Church.
 

Bells of Peace During the past year (2020-21), the Bells of Peace has been limited to ringing quarters in order to socially distance ourselves. I hope that in the fall we will be able to return to ringing with a full choir and our 3 octaves of bells and chimes. We would welcome anyone who would like to try ringing. I hope to have an idea of how many ringers we’ll have by late August in order to make plans for the music we will be ringing. Please let me know if you want to participate in the Bells of Peace for the coming school year. Laurie Maurer

Ruth and Esther, a Lifelight Study

The next Lifelight Study, Ruth and Esther, will begin on Thursday, September 16, at 7:00 PM. Once again we will be meeting virtually via Zoom and Linda Rynearson will serve as our group leader. The study guide can be purchased through Concordia. You can choose to purchase your guide directly or contact Marilyn Meriage, mmeriage@gmail.com, to be included in a group purchase from Concordia.  A bulk orders of 10 or more books will mean a lower cost per book and shared shipping cost.  The last order resulted in a cost of $10.27 per book.  Do not pay until the order has been placed and the cost per book has been calculated.

Would you like to be included, and you have internet access, but you do not “Zoom?” Let us know. Perhaps we can match you with someone who can help you get started so you can join our group. A desktop computer, a laptop, or tablet will allow you to have a better view of other members, but it is possible to join with a mobile phone.  Contact Linda, Marilyn, or the church office (254-420-4729) if you have question or would like assistance.
