We would like to invite you to participate in Hymn Fest 5: To Everything There is  a Season, a sing-along festival of hymns and anthems throughout the church year on Sat., Feb. 6th, 2010 at Glenview Community Church.  This year, in honor of the 5th annual Hymn Fest, and as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of our Buzard organ, we have also planned a workshop day, Winter Warm-up Workshop: In Harmony With God, led by  guest clinician and conductor, Paul Leddington Wright, who will entertain and enlighten us on a spiritual journey of music in worship. The topics he has chosen are of interest to many church congregations throughout the United States.

We hope you and members of your choir and congregation will be encouraged to join us, as the workshop/seminar is open to all people who are interested in sacred music in worship.  The Hymn Fest will round out the day and is a FREE concert, and all people are welcome to any or all of the day’s activities!! 
We have included in this envelope information about the Workshop and Hymn Fest, as well as registration forms.  Please feel free to copy off any extras that you might need, or contact us and we’ll get more to you.  Please, also, post this in your church bulletins so that your congregation members will also know that they are very welcome to join in this day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Tricia Melzer-Swaydrak who is coordinating this event at 708-702-0833, or via e-mail at  TMSdiva@aol.com.  If your choir would like to participate as a whole in the Festival Choir, please contact Andrew Lewis, Chancel Choir Director at Glenview Community Church at Andrew.Lewis@gccucc.org.

We hope you will be “fired up” about this event and will come to this Winter Warm-Up Workshop  and warm your heart and soul with this day filled with music, fellowship and fun!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas season!

God’s blessings to you,

Andrew Lewis. Chancel Choir Director,GCC
