Bethany Lutheran Church - Special Music

Music Schedule

2009-2010 MUSIC PROGRAM

Following is a list of services and anthems tentatively scheduled to occur between September 13, 2009, and September 5, 2010. It is subject to modification as the year unfolds, but it's my intention to adhere to it as closely as possible. For those of you who care, the Redskins' schedule has been noted (e.g., "R-H-1" means they play at home at 1 p.m.). A "Highlights" page has been provided for posting on your refrigerator or wherever. See the monthly issue of "All That Jazz" for updates! Remember to sign out on the master calendar if you know you're going to be absent, or call me at work [until January 1, 703-299-8091; after January 1, 703-370-8270], or e-mail me (until January 1, lhemphill@iadr.org; after January 1, wrdzmzk@yahoo.com). This year’s motto (as always): Everything is subject to change!

BB - Bethany Bells

Br - Brass
