Trunk or Treat - Sunday, October 26 @ 3:00 pm
All are invited, including families, friends and neighbors to a spirited Trunk or Treat celebration, where members and guests will transform their vehicles into festively themed stations and share treats with young trick-or-treaters. The decorated Trunk or Treat path loops around the church, with costumed volunteers and creatively adorned vehicles handing out treats. Additional chills and fun await in the gym, which also serves as a backup venue in case of inclement weather. Costumes, laughter, and a touch of the mysterious are all part of the experience. Want to participate but don't want to dress up your car? Dress up a table in the gym!
We need to know how much space will be required, so if you're bringing your care or dressing up a table, please sign up HERE.
There will be popcorn for everyone and games for the kids.
Music for a Spooky Time - Sunday, October 26 @ 4:30 pm
Our own Sean Michael Jackman (piano and organ) will be joined by Amber Rogers (soprano) and Minkyung Lee (violin) for this concert which includes some serious classical pieces, music from stage and screen and a few selections just for fun. Adults and kids will enjoy this eclectic and Spooky program!
The concert program features iconic works like J.S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, famously heard in Disney’s Fantasia, and Chopin’s somber Funeral March. Selections from Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals, Schumann’s Kinderszenen and MacDowell’s Hexentanz (Witches Dance.)
Amber Rogers brings emotional depth to art songs and opera arias, including Florence Price’s Night, Schubert’s Der Doppelgänger and Der Erlkönig and Purcell’s Dido’s Lament. Minkyung Lee performs dramatic violin works from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet and Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, alongside Mussorgsky’s thrilling A Night on Bald Mountain.
The program also features beloved themes from film and musical theater, including medleys from Harry Potter, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sweeney Todd. The evening closes with selections from Phantom of the Opera, performed by soprano and violin in a moving improvisation.
