THE WEDNESDAY REPORT: November 12, 2025

Dear Partners in Ministry,

Lots on our radar as we approach this last green-clad weekend of the liturgical year! I hope to have Thanksgiving Day selections to you over the weekend, and a final concert order for Gaudete by month's end. Of course, Advent is right around the corner, and that means Christmas isn't too far behind! Stay healthy and keep up the great work!

CANTOR NIGHT TOMORROW: A last reminder that tomorrow night's rehearsal is a Cantor Night; only our cantors need to attend. We'll work on psalms for the next two weeks, Advent, and Christmas.

MUSIC TO PICK UP: Nothing to grab before tomorrow night, but the librarians and I will be adding several pieces to your folders ahead of the weekend. Be sure to stop by the folder cart and grab your scores before settling in.

Peace be with you,
Tony Ward
