 3/08/10 | On Sunday, March 14, at 10:30 am, The First Parish Church in Weston welcomes all to worship. The service will feature its Senior Choir along with a special instrumental ensemble. They will present one of Austrian composer Franz Josef Haydn's most significant choral works: Mass in d minor, also known at the "Lord Nelson Mass" or "Missa in angustiis." Soloists, drawn from the choir, include Shannon Rose McAuliffe, soprano; Sue Brewster, alto; Jane Carlson, alto; Afton Cotton, alto; Sharon Brown, alto; Mary Shaw, mezzo-soprano; Ben Cox, tenor; John Bradshaw, tenor; and Matt Wight, baritone. The chamber ensemble will include five strings, two trumpets, and First Parish's Meg Newhouse, flute, and Terry Decima, organ continuo. The Mass is sung in the traditional Latin, with an English translation of the text provided. Regular church school classes and Children's Chapel will begin at 10:30 am; childcare for infants and toddlers begins at 10:15 am. Also on Sunday, at 9:30 am in the First Parish Library, Associate Minister Peter Boullata will offer an Parent and Teacher Enrichment forum on the seasons of the church year, what they represent, and how they can be celebrated at home. Pre-registration is required; please e-mail Rev. Boullata at peterboullata@firstparishweston.org or call the Church Office at 781.893.7798. And at 6:00 pm, we invite all to our monthly evening prayer service in Sears Chapel. This service includes meditation, Taize chants, scripture and silence followed by light fare and fellowship. | |
