Music Schedule
The West Potomac Choir visits Bethany
2011-2012 MUSIC PROGRAM
Following is a list of services and anthems tentatively scheduled to occur between September 4, 2011, and September 2, 2012. 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' and Capitals' (!) schedules have been noted (e.g., "R-H-1" means there may be a home football game 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 my cell (703-303-5585), or e-mail me linda.hemphillediting@gmail.com), or leave a message on my land line (703-370-8270).
