Music this Sunday

Thank you to all who sent in their favorite hymns this summer! Each Sunday in August at the 10am service, the hymn selection will come entirely from a list of YOUR favorites, slotted in where most appropriate liturgically. This Sunday, a summer choir will lead the hymns and sing a lovely motet by English composer Richard Farrant (1525-1580) that is often used during Lent. “Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake” has sometimes been attributed to Farrant’s contemporaries John Hilton or even Thomas Tallis.

Popup Recital

Don’t forget that kids AND adults are invited to prepare a musical number to perform at our Pop-up Music Recital on Sunday, August 9 in the Nativity Hall at about 11:15am. Sing a song! Play an instrument (piano available)! Play a duet with a friend! The event will be super informal and relaxed, so leave any nerves at the door and share a musical number of your choice with the community. Email Hannah Brewer to add your name to the performers’ list and/or if you need some piano accompaniment with your selection.
