High and Low Notes
October signals the beginning of the cool weather, fall activities, and we hope a renewed excitement for LMPC Choirs. This month we will experience Choirs Dedication Sunday and a Sunday visit from the University of South Carolina Trombone Collective. We are also beginning to work in earnest on the Advent and Christmas seasonal music. This is a perfect time to invite prospective choir members to join our ranks.
We send our congratulations to Kari and Howie McKeone in celebration of their marriage.
Keep Walter Cuttino in your prayers as he travels to Beijing to teach voice master classes. He will be away Oct. 12-23. We will have to sing Happy Birthday to him in Chinese upon his return!
40 Days in the Word @ LMPC, small disciple groups beginning Sept. 30. Registration info: LMPC office.
Congratulations to Judy J. Brown. She has been named the featured artist for the quarter Sept.-Nov., with the SC Watercolor Society. Check out www.scwatermedia.org/featureartist.
Remember Betty Algar and family in your prayers. She has been hospitalized and will be going into Rehab this week.
And, last but not least, the Chancel Choir welcomes Vera Crenshaw to the soprano section. Vera is a new member at LMPC and has sung in other choirs in the Columbia area.
Choir Retreat 2013 deposits should be made to Billy Watkins this month. Please make checks to LMPC.

FALL HOUSEKEEPING:
Please check your choir robe for cleanliness. If it needs attention, please take it home, launder it on a gentle cycle and hang it when damp dry so wrinkles will fall out. White stoles may be washed separately in cool water on a gentle cycle, use Woolite, and damp dry on a low heat cycle. Do not use any bleach products on either garment.
The Green/Purple stoles must be dry cleaned. Do Not Wash them!
Note: I am trying a new format putting all pertinent LMPC Choirs information on page 1 of the newsletter and a sampling of local arts and community activities that may be of interest to choir members on page 2.
