This Sunday November 6 at the 8: 45 AM Holy Communion Service, the Choristers will sing Pie Jesu from Gabriel Faure's Requiem Mass.

At the 11:15 AM Holy Communion Service, Sarah Aderholdt will play Prayer by French composer Camille Saint-Saens.

At both service, the organ prelude will start about 12 minutes before the Worship Service. It is a piece written by French composer Maurice Durufle in memory of fellow composer and organist Jehan Alain who died during World War II. It is a bit of a lengthy piece, but the mood of the piece is quite well suited for All Saints Sunday.

Plan to arrive early to meditate and reflect before the service starts!
