Friends of Music Annual Campaign
Family and Friends of Grace Episcopal Church,
This week we are kicking off the Annual Campaign of Friends of Music. The campaign will gratefully receive your pledge or donation through Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024.
Our excitement continues to build as we prepare for our choir residency at Exeter Cathedral England this August. A year ago it seemed as though the time would never come. Now we can clearly see it on the horizon.
We are immensely grateful for the enthusiasm and financial support you have provided to making this spiritual and musical sojourn a reality for our choir. Not only do we know the added preparations will sharpen our musical skills, but our time in residence will provide a slightly different perspective on services for Evensong and Sunday Eucharist. I look forward to engaging in conversations with new and like-minded individuals regarding the work of the church in their corner of the world.
We will offer four evensongs this spring as part of the FOM concert series in addition to hosting Coro Vocati Chamber Choir in April. Brian Parks will be our Organist for the final Choral Evensong on June 9. We have invited the Georgia Boy Choir, and chamber ensembles from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to perform in the fall and spring of 2025. We will once again host the 4th annual Messiah Sing Along which has witnessed an increase in the participation of enthusiastic singers and listeners. Please stay tuned!
Our goal for the 2024 annual gifts campaign is $30,000. We hope you will consider a generous donation so that we might continue to offer meaningful music for our services and concert series.

We are thankful for our common life here at Grace.
Kindest Regards,
