Anna’s Notes
This Sunday and Special Messages
Sunday, November 8th: Full choir is singing “Give Me Jesus” at 10:20 service.
Reminder: Everyone, please make sure that you lock the cabinet with purses on Sunday mornings. It’s been noted that late comers might not be relocking and putting key back in slot 3. Extra eyes on the cabinet as we exit would be appreciated.
URGENT REMINDER: There are several choir members who are very allergic to fragrances. Please, don’t wear any scented products to rehearsals or services (hair sprays, colognes, etc.). We need every single singer healthy and comfortable.
November Birthdays: Gail Karlgaard, 8th; Bill Barnett, 18th; Roberta Busby, 18th; Angel Shaw, 21st; Deb Kohrs, 25th; Ritchie Hunt, 29th.
REMINDERS:
Sunday mornings: Please don’t go through the sanctuary and atrium. Take the long hallway around, cut through the office and through the children’s hall to line up at front of Chapel. Also, keep the double doors from the music library into the practice room closed to help maintain the air conditioning during summer weather.
Update: John has requested that we keep our line tighter when processing and recessing (no more than 3 feet apart). Remember, don’t start singing until you step inside the Chapel. Also, when recessing, the lead persons should stay in sync with lead on the other side coming down the steps and line up closer to John and the clergy.
