Give them courage, patience, and vision, and strengthen us all in our Christian vocation of witness to the world and of service to others, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

This spring, our choir will be living every singer's dream - performing in Carnegie Hall! On Sunday, June 7th we will be performing Howard Goodall's Requiem "Eternal Light" along with choirs from around the world, under the direction of renowned conductor Jean-Sébastien Vallée. We will be travelling to New York City on a chartered motorcoach, staying in a hotel near Carnegie Hall, and participating in three days of rehearsals and concert preparations. The tour is financed by the participants. It's going to be a dream come true!
