Dear Partners in Ministry,
An early Happy Leap Day! Be sure to make the most of tomorrow's rehearsal, because Leap Day won't occur on a Thursday again until 2052 (so, you know, save the date).
Once again, thank you so very much for all you did to make Janèt Sullivan Whitaker's visit a blessing and a success! Janèt loved her experience at St. Noel, and your hard work and welcome were a big part of it.
SPECIAL GUESTS TOMORROW NIGHT
Our Faith Formation families will be meeting tomorrow night to celebrate Leap Day, and they will join us for ten minutes or so to learn "The Blessed and Broken." I'm expecting them around 7:20, so we'll start rehearsal with that piece.
CONCERT VOLUNTEERS?
Our next installment in this year's Concert Series is Sunday at 4, as we welcome the Exultate Choir. I could use some hospitable folks at the door welcoming and handing out programs starting at 3:30.... let me know if you're able to pitch in.
