<div class="">Hi all,<br class="yiv6467086567">We have a vespers service coming up Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at 7:00. I could use some assistance in planning and presenting the service, so I cast my net wide again. If you’d rather not be on this email chain, just say so and I’ll send only to those who’d like to participate. <br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">If you’d like to assist in any way - even just a hymn selection or poem to read - reply to this message. The service runs roughly 30-40 minutes and features a few readings, poetry, a few musical pieces - usually a hymn or two - and some meditations. It would be cool to have a few choir members either sing a hymn together and/or lead whomever is there in hymns.<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">I’ll need to know pretty quickly if we have someone to play piano - but it was wonderful to have Christen accompany on trumpet and play wonderful prelude and postlude.<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">I think we can plan most of this via email and maybe an organizing meeting before the service (6:00pm?).<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">There have been some events in our community, nationally and internationally as well that have brought on a lot of strong feelings. A vespers service will be a way to be together as we face these things together in community.<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">Thank you all! Hope you’re enjoying your summers!<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">Big love,<br class="yiv6467086567">-Bill<br class="yiv6467086567"><br class="yiv6467086567">
