For Wednesday, Family choir & friends will have the Taino Snake Dance ceremony-practice that involves singing/ chanting, movement (including playful bondage!!) and face painting at 6:30.  

Community Singers should arrive for practice by 7pm, and we will practice other songs for the Equinox.  

Sunday morning 3/17, Community Singers will arrive to rehearse at 9:30am, and we will go over the Snake Dance around 10am, in preparation for the 10:30am service.  Wear all white, or white and black.

We will have a communal dinner Wednesday before practice, 5:45 – 6:30 (I will order chicken, vege rice pilaf, and salad from Aladdin’s – Please RSVP by 1pm).  The church will pay for dinner, and you may contribute, if you like.
