Music Notes&
Today is the Adult Choir's final appearance before taking a well-deserved summer respite.  This group is certainly one of the hardest-working here at St. John's, rehearsing every Wednesday September through May, and singing every Sunday (though we try to be flexible for busy people--don't let this scare you off!).  We're very proud and grateful for the beauty, support,  and feeling they add to each liturgy--if you see a choir member, please express your appreciation!
Our 4:30 folk ensemble, Earthen Vessels , is also taking a summer break after this weekend.  This ensemble fills an important niche in our musical offerings, and we're  grateful for the life they bring to the 4:30 liturgy twice monthly.  See you in the fall!
