UPCOMING MUSIC EVENTS
We begin this month with Holy Week and our journey with Christ to the cross, to the grave, and back from the dead! As always, our services will be filled with music that reinforces each stage of the journey, and much of it is supplied by our wonderful volunteer musicians.
The choir is busiest on Good Friday, April 3, supplying music for each of the Seven Last Words. This year, we will be performing “The Seven Last Words” by John Carter. Choir will also sing on Easter Sunday the ancient hymn “Christians to the Paschal Victim,” found on LSB 460. Come join us in our remembrance of the sacrifice Christ made for us and then our celebration of his victory over death!
The bell choir will play an important role on Easter Sunday. They will begin the service with a rendition of “Were You There,” LSB 456. Following the chant of “Christ Is Arisen,” they will also participate in the Easter processional, our longtime favorite “Jesus Christ Is Risen Today,” LSB 457. Listen for musical references to each hymn in the other!
A brass quartet will also be there Easter Sunday to play for our processional and recessional hymns. Please be sure to thank Allen Law, Sam Burge, Neal Schuster, and Emily Schuster for their extra efforts to make Easter a day of triumph and glory!
For the glory of God,
Timothy Schmidt
Organist and Choir Director
