CONCERT AUDIENCE & HOST HOMES NEEDED

Just as the Pennsylvania churches welcomed our Youth Choir so warmly in May, we now have the opportunity to welcome another church's choir to Calvary on Thursday, June 17. A 41-voice high school choir from Second Presbyterian Church in Bloomington, Illinois, will give a concert that evening at 7:30 PM, spend the night with various church members, then go on to their next stop early the next morning. This is the help we need to host this group:

• Donated covered dishes for a meal at 5:30 PM on Thursday evening in Good Shepherd Hall
• An audience to hear the concert at 7:30 PM in the sanctuary
• Several host homes to house the 34 males and 25 females overnight, then feed and return them to the church on Friday morning (41 youth and 18 adult chaperones)

If you can help in any way, sign up at the Calvary Connection in the music ministry binder, or contact Beckie Karras directly.

FALL GUITAR CLASSES

Are you interested in learning how to play the guitar? We are hoping to offer beginner or advanced beginner classes this fall. Please contact Beckie Karras if you are interested in taking a Wednesday night guitar class, beginning in September. We need at least five students to run a class. The cost will be $90 for eight one-hour sessions.

WORSHIP MUSIC

Thanks to all the choir members for providing such beautiful music for the past ten months! While they are away from the choir loft for the summer, soloists provide special music for eleven weeks. If you want to sing or play a solo of sacred/religious music during the summer, contact Beckie Karras right away.

FREDERICK KEYS

The Wesley Ringers will ring the National Anthem at Keys Stadium in Frederick again this summer on July 25. Emily Dyson has reserved a block of 100 tickets for Calvary members that night. You will soon be able to sign up for tickets at the Calvary Connection. Watch for the announcement in the bulletin. Our own Sarah Field will be singing the National Anthem at Keys Stadium as well, on July 28.

PRAISE TEAM

At the end of May, Richard Cole "retired" as a member and head of the praise team. We appreciate his many years of service to Calvary and wish him well as he explores new ministry possibilities.

MUSICIANS NEEDED

If you love contemporary Christian music and you sing well or play a praise instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, banjo), and have some interest in being a part of the praise team, contact Mark Plante or Beckie Karras.
