A reminder to the men of Union Church:
A message from Bill Merrill, Music Director
” You Raise Me Up”
In celebration of Mother’s Day, we will have our traditional Men’s Choir sing for the service this Sunday, May 12th. The Offertory anthem, “You Raise Me Up,” by Graham and Lovland, expresses this thought:
“When I am down and oh, my soul’s so weary,
When troubles come and my heart burdened be,
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up to more than I can be.”
Sunday’s special Mother’s Day offering will be for our music ministry. Your contribution will help keep our instruments in tune, our choir in harmony, and our Sunday worship whole with the joy of music.
The Children’s Choir will rehearse in the Sanctuary Sunday morning after worship.
