Announcements as of Oct 22

Cherubini Requiem: Luigi Cherubini’s “Requiem in C Minor” will be sung by the Choir of Christ the Redeemer with orchestra as the service music for our annual All Souls Eucharist, 5:00 p.m., Sunday, November 1. The work was praised highly by Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Wagner. Beethoven had it sung at his own funeral! Names will be read of family and friends who have died in the past year, and parishioners may submit names via the CTR website member portal through Wednesday, October 28. Your guests are welcome at the service and for the Art Show reception which follows.

Incense: There will be incense at both the All Saints and All Souls services on Sunday, November 1. 

Light in the World Art Opening: Good news! We have found the artist of the mystery painting found hidden away in our boiler room. We will reveal his name and, if his health permits, he will join us after the Requiem on Sunday, November 1 at 6:30 p.m. The theme of this show is “Out of the Depths, I Cry”. As usual, there will be delicious food and good conversation. An art opening is a unique opportunity to talk to the artists, learn more about their artwork, and purchase original art to take home. 25% of all sales will benefit Christ the Redeemer. The show will run through December 13. 

Cherubim Choir starts: The Cherubim Choir, for children ages 6 to 8, led by Susan Daun-Woodstock, starts this Tuesday, October 20, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m., in the Parish Hall. Parents, prepare your kids for a lifetime of loving music and loving God by participation in this group.
