Dear musicians,

We have only had a couple individuals respond about helping with Special Music in Bend Oregon this year.  We need your help as the Feast of Tabernacles will be here before we know it!

We have several ways you can serve God and His people with the musical talents God has given you.  We need help with Special Music and/or Offertory Music, and also we are considering having an instrumental ensemble to accompany Hymns during the Feast.  If you can serve in any of these ways, please respond as soon as possible.

We again have the challenge of working around restrictions of Covid-19. 

As of August 13th, Governor Kate Brown and the OHA leadership announced that indoor mask use will be mandatory.  The announcement comes in response to surging COVID-19 cases and hospitalization throughout Oregon. https://govstatus.egov.com/OR-OHA-COVID-19

With that in mind, we will not be having a feast choir in Bend Oregon this year.  However, those giving special music will NOT need to wear a mask while performing.  Music remains an important aspect of our Feast in Bend! 

If you are willing to serve as a vocal solo, small group or via instrumental special music, please contact me as soon as possible.

To help in the selection process, would you please send me a recording of the piece you would like to present along with the copy of the specific words (if applicable) that you will be using?  If you do not have a recording of that specific piece, please send a similar recording that represents the talents God has blessed you with.

Please send your recording by as soon as possible to troy_phelps@ucg.org.

Please reach out to me with any questions you may have, if you need to call, 513-376-2005

Sincerely,

Troy Phelps
Music coordinator
