Singers needed: Can you help?
From Canon Deborah M. Ford: The Liturgy Commission is working with our Bishops as we plan the liturgy for our 226th Diocesan Convention at the Crowne Plaza, Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Our Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will celebrate and preach at the 5:00 p.m. Eucharist on Friday, March 5, 2010. With this in mind, please accept this invitation for your choir to join other choirs from our diocese as we gather to give music support for the Convention Liturgy on Friday at 5 p.m. A choir rehearsal will be held at the hotel in the designated chapel at 3:30 PM. Please bring your choir vestments.

The anthems for the worship are both 'Medium Easy' and can be ordered online.

As your choir supports us in this worthy effort, we hope you will be able to accompany them as well.

You may contact me through email (Deborahford@trinitycathedral.comcastbiz.net) or phone (609 392-3805, ex. 108) to let me know your voice parts.

It is my prayer that we will be blessed by sharing our gifts, talents and time with our sisters and brothers in Christ. May God bless and continue to grant increase to your ministries today and always. Thank you so much.
