Do you sing, play the guitar or the violin, either solo or in a group? We would like to showcase your talents! St A’s has received a grant to help ensure that we have music at both of our services. The choir will continue to sing at the 9:00 am service, and we would now like to provide other musical offerings at the 10:30 am service as well. This is a special opportunity for parishioners to showcase their talents by singing and/or playing as an important contribution to our worship program. Ideally, we will do this about four times during the year. Any one who would like to offer their voice/instrument at the 10:30 service please contact our organist and musical director, Laura Ravotti, at(914) 736-9015, see her after service.
