Mary Kay's Cary Days

October 11, 2007

Dear friends at the Kirk,

This coming Sunday morning will be somewhat of an intergenerational music day in worship with our chancel filled with children, teens and adults! Chancel Choir (11:00) will be singing an arrangement for organ, trumpet and voices of the hymn "How Firm a Foundation". Thanks to Barbara Moore for her joyful trumpet work! The Chancel Ringers (8:45) are offering a selection entitled "Canticle of Faith" which has some interesting bell techniques to hear and to see. The Joyful Ringers (11:00) will open our worship with "The Heavens are Declaring". This is the first appearance this fall for these young ringers.

Two young pianists are offering their gifts in worship this week. Both are Kirk members. Ashley Parks will play pre-service music, and selections in worship at the early service. She is home from Washington, DC for the weekend and is the daughter of Rusty and Carol Parks. Dylan Giles, a high school senior is playing during the 11:00 service. Dylan is the son of Steve and Cindi Giles. They are playing selections by Brahms, Rossini, Alexander and Schumann.

The Piano Task Force (PTF) is busy working on various fundraising efforts. This Sunday, Marietjie Wessels, PTF chairperson, will share an update. Mark your calendars for Dinner and a Grand! on November 1 at the Kirk. See further details later in the Krier.

Making music in His name,

Mary Kay
