With Central choirs on hiatus until Gathering Sunday, choirmaster Patrick Aiken is leading a “Summer Choir.” Singers of all ages are invited to gather in the chancel every Sunday morning for warm-up exercises, and a brief rehearsal of the service’s hymns and the occasional introit. Both “regulars” and newcomers are welcome to try out their singing voices and help lead music during Worship!
This fall’s lecture features the Rev. Dr. Gary Mason, a Methodist minister who played an integral role in Northern Ireland’s peace process. A week before the event, Central will host a pre-lecture discussion of “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland,” by Patrick Radden Keefe – as well as additional readings that will be available at a later date. For more information, contact Paul Armstrong.
Let’s meet after Worship at the amazing Crescent Park Carousel (700 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside), a National Historic Landmark built in 1895 by the famous designer Charles Looff. Whether you ride or watch, it is a piece of Americana – and fun for both children and adults! Bring a snack or picnic lunch, if you like. Questions? Ask Claudia.
