Dean’s Column
December 2019

Dear Friends,

It seems as though I was just pondering who would join our family for Thanksgiving and now we are marching through December. Though we don’t have any official programs planned for this month, I love that we are naturally surrounded by beautiful music of the season.

Perhaps you are playing for special worship services and performances, or maybe you have been able to sit back and just receive the gift of music. Regardless, let the music this season inspire and guide you through the deeper and more profound aspects of Advent and Christmas. 

Please join us in the new year for our annual Epiphany Party on Friday night, January 3rd. This is always a great time to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. 

Warmly,

Judy KohlDean
