CHURCH NEWS

By Lucy Williams

Big things are afoot for March! Pastor Jean Barrington has officially retired and in honor of this landmark in her life, the church is hosting a retirement party on March 28 at 12:15 p.m. Please come! Everyone in town is welcome to attend. I won’t say “no cards or gifts” because that would be rude – bring whatever you’d like (but you don’t really need to bring anything other than yourself and a good appetite). We’ll be doing a potluck, so come and enjoy!

The Trinity Chamber Series continues this year beginning with two very special concerts this month. On Saturday, March 20 at 7 p.m. the very talented Natasha Neufeld and her choir will be entertaining us with song. Jonathan Quick will also be in attendance. You may be familiar with Jonathan’s extraordinary musical talent. He is the conductor of the Welshmen’s Choir. Oh, and there will be a tiny bit of stand-up comedy provided. You’ll have to come and see what that’s all about.

On Saturday, March 27 at 7 p.m., soprano Margaret Behenna and pianist Susan Edwards will be providing a warm and wonderful musical program.  Included in the program are three Bach arias accompanied by oboe. If you attended their chamber concert last year, then you know how very talented they are. You won’t want to miss either of these chamber concerts.

Children! Did you know that Sunday school for children of all ages is happening at the church? We also have a nursery for the tiny ones. Please bring the little ones with you when you come on Sundays. They will enjoy the Sunday school lessons and activities and you will enjoy the worship service.

Community Choir is on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome! The Community Choir performs two to three concerts a year. If you have a “voice,” or if you’ve dreamed of having one then please consider joining the choir. Actually, it would be better if you would quit dreaming and just join! Start a new habit this year – sing!
