NO PRACTICE WEDNESDAY

Sorry, y'all. I have a commitment I thought I could get out of that I can not. ALSO, the Song of the Day is changed to "Amazing Grace," slow version.

See you on Sunday for a 10:00 start!

canceled tonight

POSSIBLY canceled tonight, 5/4/2011

I'm having a lot of pain after a dental procedure two days ago, and may need prescription painkillers. If so, I will call (and post here) to cancel rehearsal tonight Keep checking in.

Also, I can not make next week's rehearsal. Sorry; I have an invitational dress rehearsal that can't be moved. I need to talk with Sundie to see if she wants to meet with you next Wednesday, but we may be canceling.

Cheers,

Andrew

Meet Sundie on Sunday!

Dear friends,

Matt and I have been conspiring. We decided that we wanted to bring in an experienced worship leader to help mind the store while I'm in Arkansas. After talking with several candidates, I'm pleased to announce that Sundie Marquardt will be filling in for the summer. She'll be visiting Redeemer on Sunday morning, so you can all meet her then.

Sundie has years of experience leading worship groups and working as a public speaking consultant, so I'm sure you'll appreciate her communication skills as quickly as I have. She's going to be starting to play with us on Wednesdays and Sundays before I go, so we can make a smooth transition. we are very fortunate and blessed to have her skills and sunny personality!

Peace,

Andrew
