Dear friends of I4C,
Last spring, the Interfaith Council sponsored, with Grace Presbyterian
Church in Walnut Creek, a wonderful multi-choir concert, which in turn
benefited the work we do.
We have placed two more such events on our calendar, and are seeking
interested congregational choirs or other musical groups to participate.
The first is on October 12 at First Congregational Church in Martinez. The
second is on December 7 at Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church in
Walnut Creek. Both events will start at 3:00 p.m. on their particular
Sunday afternoon. We plan on having four to seven groups at each event. If
you are interested in participating, or know of someone who is, please
contact this email address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Each group would probably
perform two pieces.
The last event was a lot of fun, and was a very pleasant way to spend a few
hours.
Below are some announcements which merit your attention. Many blessings to
you.
