Dear Partners in Ministry,
Happy Ascension week! A pair of great concert opportunities here this weekend, and some updates about our Summer:
Summer Sing Session Signups
Sing Sessions are a go! I'll be available from 3:00 pm–8:00 pm on July 6, 13, and 20 (all Thursdays). I'd really like to see each singer in Music Ministry this summer, to get to know your voice and your experience of our ministry a little better. I now have signup times all set on signupgenius.com; visit this URL to claim a spot. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084DAEA62FA7F8C52-sing
Taizé June 1 is Canceled
Due to the short time remaining to plan and prepare for Taizé Prayer, and in the interest of doing it well, I've decided not to hold our June 1 prayer night. I will put together a schedule for somewhat regular services starting late this summer.
Two Concerts This Weekend...
This Friday night at 7:30, we welcome CityMusic Cleveland back to Saint Noel for Edward Arron Plays Haydn, a concert of striking works for cello by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Chen Yi.
Sunday, our own Greg Eastridge and Elke White can be spotted among the Stow Heritage Ringers, in a rousing concert of Celtic folk music, Ringin' Green.
Reminder: Summer Schedule
Our Thursdays this summer provide opportunities to acheive three big goals: to stay prepared and grow as ministers; to spend time one on one; and to get some much-needed rest! Here's what I'd like to do with our Thursdays. Please contact me with any concerns or questions...

JULY
6, 13, 20: SING SESSIONS! A 15-20 minute, one-on-one time with me, to get to know your voice a little better, and to discuss how things are going for you and what you'd like to see in our future. Appointments will be available from 3:00–8:00. (Signups available now at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084DAEA62FA7F8C52-sing)
