UPCOMING MUSIC EVENTS
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Pastoral change is imminently upon us, but I want to reassure you that in this time of transition, we will continue on with the liturgies and hymnody we know and love. Besides our regular Sunday services, here are some ways you can hear and/or participate in music at Trinity:
The choir will come back from its Epiphany break on January 8 at 7pm. We will begin learning “Lord, ‘Tis Not That I Did Choose Thee” for our next Sunday appearance, a close arrangement of the hymn of the same name (LSB 573). I especially encourage those loud singers of the congregation to lend their talent to us – you know who you are! 🙂
The bell choir will again have a piece to play on Ash Wednesday, which is February 18 this year. As such, their rehearsals will begin on January 29 at 6pm. We had a wonderful turnout for Christmas Eve, and it would be amazing to have those ringers and even some new ones participate in this next performance!
Instrumentalists are currently being scheduled throughout the spring to reinforce our services. If you play an instrument and haven’t yet let me know, please do! I would love to play with you no matter your ability or time away from your instrument.
The hymn sings garnered small but enthusiastic attendance last fall! As such, I would like to continue offering these periodically as a means for us all to sing more of our hymnody as well as learn more of its rich history. I have scheduled our next one for February 12 at 7pm with the theme, “Hymns of Old – Ancient Hymns of the Christian Church.”
Lastly, I have begun a music recording archive for our church on Youtube! If, like me, you’ve ever wanted to relisten to specific hymns, anthems, or other musical performances at our church, you will soon be able to find many of them at youtube.com/@tlcnormanmusic. Feel free to subscribe to that channel as I populate it with our many praises to God!
To Him be all glory,
Timothy Schmidt
Organist and Choir Director
LIFE SUNDAY MOVIE
Sunday, January 25 NOON
As we celebrate God’s gift of life, we would like to invite the congregation to see a film called “A Matter of Life” about abortion. Due to the nature of the content, we recommend ages 17 or older. The Matter of Life compels us to understand the pro-life case and form our own individual beliefs based on facts and not on what is said in the media. In the film we hear from the experts and learn about the history, philosophy, morality, and impact of abortion. The movie presents real life decisions by people in different situations. Lunch will be provided, please sign up in the narthex so that we can plan for lunch.
