We have an incredible lineup of special music this November. For the first time during our virtual worship months, I’m reasonably sure, the majority of music you hear are recordings made especially for Edwards virtual worship. That’s amazing. And while some has been recorded by me, as you’d expect, more and more is being generated […]

Virtual Worship Continues, and Needs YOU
What an amazing summer it’s been with our virtual worship services. Since we will be continuing through the fall, the time is right to begin planning and we need your help! We’ve come up with a number of multi-week projects that will involve as many singers, photographers, artists, writers, poets, and dancers as possible. I’ve […]
A New Hymn for a New Day
In preparation for Thanksgiving Sunday (November 22), we hope to create a new hymn to reflect our experience of gratitude in this time. Debbie will be writing the lyrics, based on input from the congregation. I would love for you to send me a paragraph or two, a phrase or two, or even a word […]

Summer Music Appreciation
Dear friends, I’ve had a great time in conversation with a core group of music lovers since we’ve all been home, but there’s always room for more. We’ll meet a little less frequently in the summer. I plan to have class on July 9, 16, and 30 as well as August 6, 13, and 20. […]
Music Classes Continue
I will be continuing my Thursday evening music classes during May, with the exception of May 7. During April I conducted a few classes on Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” Respighi’s “Pines of Rome,” and Handel’s “Messiah” (really? Yes, Handel premiered it in the month of April!). I never really know what will be the topic until […]

There is over $400.00 in the fund as of December 31, 2019. This […]
February Choir
Some of you may have noticed that in the anthems we sang throughout January, each included the word “river” in the title. The first week of February will conclude this series with a beautiful arrangement that combines songs “Peace Like a “River” and “Kum Ba Yah.” The following week we will complement the sermon with […]
Is This Your Resolution?
If you have ever wondered when is the best time to join the choir here at Edwards Church, I’ll let you know January is not too shabby! Here’s why. We just got done with our full fall semester, which made us very busy through December. What that means is we never had time to look […]
