As we stumble forward through these months of virtual services, we are attempting to balance caution with a preference for live music. Sadly, caution means no singing in the sanctuary when others are present, a decision which complicates hymns.
During September and October we are experimenting with two arrangements on alternating weeks. Some weeks Dot will play the hymns on the organ without any local singing, acknowledging that it is hard to sing without vocal support. Other weeks Max and Elena will lead us in hymns, playing and singing from their home.
Council has invited folks to join in a general conversation after worship on the 27th (covering any topics the congregation wants to check in about) – Dot and Max will be present to discuss hymns if people would like. You can also email Dot.
