From Our Choir Director

Finally, summer came, and it’s been glorious. I don't think there is anyplace more beautiful in the summer than right where we are. It took so long coming, though, that it’s time to begin planning for fall ... and Advent ... and Christmas ... and ... and... Sigh

First things first. Last spring I had the privilege of hearing a large African drumming group from a Spokane elementary school. Many children belonged to the group; so many, in fact, that they couldn't all perform at the same time. I immediately started thinking about possibilities, and wonder if we could have our own drumming group at Trinity. After talking it over with Pastor Ann, we thought we could start a small drumming group in conjunction with Kids' Club on Wednesday evenings. There are numerous ways rhythmic drumming, done well, can enhance our worship services while providing opportunities for our young people for ministry.

Another opportunity for ministry, musically speaking, is the Trinity choir. We will resume
rehearsals on September 8, and welcome inquiring, aspiring, curious singers. We rehearse for one hour (6 to 7 on Wednesday evenings) and sing at alternating services on Sunday. If you're looking for a fun time singing the joys of the seasons of the church year, we welcome you to join us.

In the meantime, let us all enjoy this beautiful summer God has given us. We don't have to wait for December to sing "Joy to the World".

Your sister in Christ,
Rose
