Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that we will have 6 wonderful strings from my Modus Operandi Orchestra MOO for both of our Christmas Eve services. They will be a wonderful addition to our services as we rejoice in the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. By augmenting our Christmas and Easter services with instrumentalists we are committing ourselves to having a first rate programme here at Christ Church. I am excited that the Children’s Choir will be accompanied by the orchestra during the 4:00 p.m. service which will provide the children with a unique life experience. There will be a 15 minute prelude of cherished christmas carols with the chambre orchestra before both services.
The costs associated with the instruments are covered by your generous Christmas memorial donations. Any donation will be gratefully accepted. The following levels are intended as suggestions:
Angel $1,500
Patron $1,000
Soloist $500
Player $250
Donor $100
Friend $50
Please use THIS LINK to make your donation online and submit your memorial names. If you prefer to pay by check please be sure to note Christmas Music in the memo and to include your memorial names.
Our goal is to have as many parishioners participate as possible. If you wish to be listed as anonymous please indicate that when submitting your donation. All names will be listed in alphabetical order and dollar amounts will not be given. Our costs are close to $4,000 which includes all of the rehearsals and both services. Any additional memorial money collected will be used for future holiday guest musicians.
I am very excited about our first year together so far and look forward to bringing together all of the wonderful players and singers to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Justin Bischof
Director of Music & Organist
