[Choir] Sunday

[Richard Riley]

Good afternoon, all!

Thank you for your time and energy last night! Music is a balm in many
ways, and I felt it last night.

You may already have read Joan's special email to all, but if not, please
know that there will be just one service, at 10:00 am, on Sunday - NOT two
services at 9 and 11. UCM is adopting recommendations from the Unitarian
Universalist Association that all *church gatherings of more than 25 people
be immediately suspended*, so on Sunday there will be no congregation. But
there *will* be a kind of worship service that'll be transmitted
(somehow!), and imagine this: there is "room" for the choir!

The service is still being created, so I can't be very specific about what
your role would be, or exactly what will be in the service, but for sure we
could sing Donia's piece "Rising," and perhaps a hymn or two. It would
likely be just Joan, Eliza, possibly one or two other helpers for recording
purposes, you all, and me!

Please let me know if you are willing to attend and sing. To recap: you
would come at 9:15 to rehearse. The service would begin at 10:00, and
probably NOT last as long as an hour. *There will not be other people
coming to the service.*

*Please "reply all"* so that we can assess whether the choir will have a
role in this Sunday's service. What happens AFTER this Sunday is not known
at this time.

Oh, I guess unfortunately I *do* know something of what's not going to
happen after this Sunday: we will *not* be able to hold Music Sunday on
April 5.

These are uniquely tough times. Let's stay together as best we can.

Dick
