For our final Candlelight Concert of this church year, the music committee proudly presented James Manuele in a concert of solo classical and flamenco guitar music on Friday April 5.  All proceeds benefited the music programs at James Simons Elementary School.  So far this year we have raised almost $2,000.  Over the years we have helped to purchase keyboards, drums, and other instruments and musical instruction materials for the school.  Thank you to all attendees!

In conjunction with the concert wasthe opening of a solo show of paintings by Cisco Lindsey in Gage Hall, which will remain up through April.  A reception was held in Gage Hallhonoring both artists.

Our previous shows featured the oil paintings of Cisco Lindsey and Jim Innes, favorite artwork from our congregation, and the photographs of Trudy Muegel. For sales, contact Cisco Lindsey or Joanna Innes.
