Holy Trinity Music Ministry Blog

I think you guys should do this for Lessons and Carols…

Jay sends out e-mails and I (belatedly) repost the news here. Just in case.

• Congratulations to Erica in Austin on her good news. She and Brock bought a house and ARE EXPECTING A BABY!!! (It’s ok to shout for that kind of announcement. They’re due in July and you can follow their progress on http://www.totsites.com/tot/finnegan/
• Our very own Nadia Getskova has her Graduate Recital for Composition on Sunday, Dec 6th at 8pm at SMU. Some choir members may be singing for this, I’m not sure.
• From Liz: Hi Everyone: We have received two families, each with one child.  Each family will need food gift cards in denominations of $10 or $15 – totaling around $75. We have two little boys to buy for: Miguel is 2 years old and would like a musical truck or car, and also needs a jacket.  He wears size 3.  He also needs tennis shoes, size 6.  Christian is 6 months old.  His family would like him to receive the Fisher/Price Laugh and Learn.  Any baby clothes, size 12mos are needed. We need to have everything collected by Wednesday, Dec. 9th. Thanks for helping.  There will be a sign up sheet in the choir room so we can be sure each family gets what they need.
• And just today from Ann via Jay…Good news from Ann: Hi Jay: I just spoke with Inge, and Helga’s eye surgery went very well.  She’s at home eating lunch right now. 

Congrats, Best Wishes, Good Luck, Happy Holidays and prayers for quick recovery respectively!

So you can have the upcoming schedule at your internet fingertips…

Don’t forget the Happy Hour Concert coming up this weekend. Time to support the rest of the Music Ministry Team!

Hi, guys! How’s Dallas? I’ve been in Portland for about two weeks now. I’m staying with my nephew and niece-in-law and their two little boys while I look for a job which is proving a little harder than I thought it would be. Keep a good thought for me there.

I heard you guys had a fantastic Memorial Concert. So sorry I couldn’t be there but I’m looking forward to hearing the CD.  Congratulations on such a wonderful reward for all your hard work.

Miss you all,

Terrell
