I think we can expect a lot of visitors for that service and the service will be themed in a "wonders of the universe" direction.

I can tell you more about it tonight. I should only have to miss one rehearsal, on the 21st, and Dick Riley has agreed to substitute then. But I will be missing Sunday the 24th so the planned choir piece (which we actually hadn't started to work on yet) won't be happening. I think we will be in good shape with Music Sunday pieces, and I am now feeling that perhaps people might enjoy something a little more challenging and I think we would now have the time for it.</div><div><br></div><div>So, would you prefer a fun, tried and true, familiar but not that challenging Vivaldi?</div><div>Or the Galaxias, which was gorgeous and unique but had ended up being more challenging than expected back when we did it?
