Friday March 4 Rehearsal: a note from Scott

Dear choir members:

I am sure you have already thanked Dee Black and Elizabeth for helping me out during my absence on Monday.   I am pleased to hear that much of what I wanted accomplished was rehearsed!  I actually began feeling poorly last Friday night at rehearsal but kept up my busy weekend with JMU events on Saturday, Church on Sunday and went to school Monday only to turn around and come home.   I went from the clinic to the doctor where I had a nasty throat and bronchial infection and fever.   Amazingly, the antibiotic really took hold and I was much better by Wednesday.   I hope every one is well and enjoying this beautiful morning.  The snow is just hanging on the trees.  Perhaps the last of the winter.  Sounds like a warm day ahead and I look forward to seeing you at Manor Memorial Methodist in downtown New Market at 6:55.   

If you are going to be absent, please remember to inform Ramona if you have not done this already.   

News about Mary Sue Snarr

Pastor Nate Robinson from Emanuel reported that Mary Sue went back to the hospital today and may be there for 2-3 days.

A note from Denise Brownlee

 I saw Ellie Haun Friday and she told me some of the titles you are singing this season, so I checked the blog just now...what a great lineup! I had the wonderful opportunity when I was in 8th grade to attend a summer music camp with Jester Hairston as the conductor. He was a funny, engaging man and what an experience! We sang "Amen" which he also sang with us. Just wonderful - can't wait to hear his piece. 

Feb. 26 Rehearsal

Don't forget that MWC will rehearse on Friday, Feb. 26 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at St. Mary's Pine Lutheran Church.  The address is 7103 S. Middle Rd. (Mt. Jackson)--also known as Rt. 614.  This is where we've held our last two annual dinner meetings.  Let me know if you need further directions. You can also contact Karen Van Stee at (540)984-6248.

Sharon Waters' mother died

Thank you for your prayers for Sharon's mom -- she died this morning with her loved ones at her side. Please continue to remember them in the coming days:  Sharon Waters and her husband, Leonard Keith Waters as well as Sharon's brother, Wayne Roddy and his wife, Melanie and their children.

A note from Ramona

Wanted to let you know that my dad passed away this morning.  He had really declined the past couple of days, so it was not unexpected.  Still very hard, as you well know!  We will be going out to Grandle Funeral Home this afternoon to make arrangements.

I have added several more songs for the spring concert and there may be a few more coming!
