"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on
which it is impossible to be silent."
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Once again, Carol Coughenour and I, along with the choirs, look forward to making music to the glory of God at First Church. We will begin another year of making music to enhance our spirits, and anticipate all of us coming together to experience the new challenges that await us this coming season.

Several special and spirit-filled musical worship services are planned this year. Along with the Bell Choir ringing throughout the year, the special music Sundays will be enhanced with orchestra to accompany us. Our Music & Arts Fund will support these musicians as well as the upcoming Music & Arts Concert Series each month during the year. Your generosity will allow this season of excellent musical worship experiences to continue at First Church as you find it in your heart to give to this fund. While our music budget covers a portion of the expenses toward music and drama, it cannot go the extra mile to bring special worship services without your donations.

Special music planned for this year

A Hymn Festival  ~ October 28, 2007
Festival of Christmas
 ~ December 16, 2007
Readings and music for Lent
 ~ March 16, 2008
ending with Gospel Sunday  ~ June 8, 2008

We are once again planning another Cabaret Dinner Show when the Music Department goes Pop! It will be a great time to share our musical talents in other ways. There’s a great deal of planning for this special event, so volunteers are welcome to help!

"How is it that music can, without words,
evoke our laughter, our tears, our highest aspiration?"
Jane Swan, b. 1943
