10:30 a.m. Chancel Choir Return to topA big thank you to all of you for your participation, help in housing, help on committees, etc. when we hosted the Valparaiso University Chorale in March. It was a wonderful and thrilling concert and thank you to each of you. Even though the church wasn’t full, we were the largest audience they had on their tour. The Chorale rewarded us with excellent singing, youthful vibrance, and a musical experience of beauty. Thank you for all your help.
We would also be amiss if we did not thank you for the variety of help and participation in the Living Liturgy Conference in February. It took a large number of willing hands to make the event fly. Our guests greatly appreciated our efforts and commented on many things, including our beautiful campus, helpful and wonderful people always seeking to help. If you took in some of the Thursday through Saturday events, you are probably still trying to digest the many things which were presented. Return to top
The Cactus Trio will present a concert here on Sunday afternoon, April 13, at 2 p.m. in the Chapel. The Trio is from Desert Palms Presbyterian Church here in Sun City West. We will hear John Huston on clarinet, Mary Jo Rodriguez on piano, and Monica Carter as soprano. Come and hear this delightful concert. Freewill offering.
A recital, including many members of Lord of Life plus other students of Dave Lien in voice and piano, will be held on Sunday, April 27, 3 p.m. in the Chapel. They will perform a variety of Broadway, popular, and classical pieces. This is free to the public.
On May 11, 3 p.m., the Campinellas del Sol, a handbell group directed by Roy Bloomquist, will perform. The group will travel to Europe in June.
