Following a Star: Epiphany Worship for January 10, 2021

Special Epiphany "Ensemble"

We are thrilled to provide both a vocal solo and an "ensemble" rendition of "We Three Kings", featuring all four church members who have provided solos throughout the very strange year of 2020. All voices in the "ensemble" were recorded independently, without regard to phrasing or tempo, and assembled in software through the work of one very patient member of our congregation.

All vocal music was pre-recorded in our empty sanctuary during the previous several weeks for the safety of those involved. Soloists include Vicki Kosthorst, Darla Hall, Nan Woodworth, and Bob King, accompanied by Sarah Matthews on the piano and Joe Orbin on the pipe organ.
