CHOIR APPRECIATION SUNDAY

Make a joyful noise on the 15th to thank our faithful choristers

By PAUL SAMMON, Minister of Music

I am amazed at how fast time flies! It has been just a little more than a year since I have been given the privilege of sharing my gift of music with all of you at Saint Andrew’s. Of even more importance is the joy of leading our choir. I often tell my choir that they are my reason for getting up in the morning. Imagine a busy business day of frustrations, and traffic! My solace on Thursday evenings has been with my choir. My choir family has been so supportive of, and patient with the “reinventing-Paul” process. (They keep me in line, too...)

I ask all of you to take a special moment to thank your choir for their dedication, commitment and love of music today, tomorrow and especially on June 15, at which time we will, as a church family, publicly celebrate our Saint Andrew’s choir members at the 10 o’clock service. A special thanks to all who sing their hearts out or make a joyful noise unto the Lord! ”
