Month: November 2010

Rejoice! The Lord is King from Deborah Arsenault on Vimeo.

Our organist and choir director, Robert Shauris, put together a wonderful program for the dedication of our new Roger’s organ. Guest organist was Erik Johnson accompanied by trumpeters Kenneth and Kenny McCane and on timpani, Nick Narcisi. It was a thrill to hear the combined choirs of the First Congregational Churches of Sutton and Leicester. After the service, everyone was invited to continue this celebration by joining for a collation prepared by the Woman’s Association of the congregation. If you missed it, you missed a special event.

This Sunday November 21at 4:00pm, the First Congregational Church of Leicester will be having a Dedication Service for our new Organ. Playing will be guest Organist Erik Johnson, the Musical Director of the First Congregational Church of Sutton, MA. Also, their Senior Choir will join ours for some beautiful music.

After there is a food and fellowship gathering downstairs in Russell Hall. All are welcome and encouraged to come!

Singers of all types and experience were asked to join the choir on Nov 7, 2010 for our first Pick Up Choir.  Bob Shauris is our organist.  Below is a small sample of the anthem sung that day.  It was recorded on a small personal camera from the audience – not a professional recording.  But they sounded great and hope you enjoy this segment. (Ken – apologies for cutting your picture out of the video – you sounded great – I didn’t realize I had done that)
