Announcements

• 🎵 Pick-Up Choir for Lent/Easter/Pentecost: Like to sing? Please consider ****joining the choir to sing a few special songs this spring! Rehearsals will be held on Sundays before church at 9:05am on Feb 23, Mar 2, 9, 23, 30, Apr 6, 13, 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, June 1, 8. Questions? Talk to Joy Morin, Church Musician ([email protected]).
• 🔔  HF's Bell Tree Instrument: In Spring of 2023, the PLT approved the purchase of a bell tree instrument using Music Memorial funds honoring choir conductor Charles about 15 years ago. Our new Malmark "Cymbells" will add both a new dimension of sound to our worship services and new avenues of participation for those of ALL ages and abilities. If you would like to join an email list to be notified of upcoming opportunities to play the Cymbells during service, please let Joy Morin know ([email protected]). No music reading required; the Cymbells will be used for simple patterns and "random ringing" techniques as well. Thanks for considering!
• 🎶  Special Invitation: Are you interested in getting involved musically at Holy Faith? I’d love to hear your ideas and how you might like to participate vocally or instrumentally — whether it be a regular commitment or just occasional. Talk to Joy Morin or send an email at [email protected].
