Our Chancel Choir will be joined by a chamber orchestra, led by Dora Marshall Mullins, in a series of works by composer Gabriel Fauré. The featured work is the Requiem, a series of beautiful pieces pleading our transition from earthly life to peace and life eternal. The very beautiful Pié Jesus (which will be sung by Pat Ricciarelli) and In Paradisum (frequently heard as an organ solo) are both from this Mass. Steve Kelly will join us as baritone soloist. The Church Council is providing the reception.
Church Women United of Newport News will celebrate May Friendship Day 2003 on Friday, May 2 at First United Methodist Church. Registration will begin at 10:00 a.m. and the program will begin at 10:30 in the fellowship hall of the church.
The theme for the day will be "Many Gifts, One Spirit." The program will open with a light brunch. Each church is asked to contribute a plate of finger foods.
The offering will be divided between the work of Church Women United and our Migrant Ministry in Virginia. The Fellowship of the Least Coin will also be observed.
All women are welcome. Please call Joanne Bates at 596-3897 for more nformation.
