Worship Announcements & Links

Abendmusik and Morgenmusik: In addition to recitals and studio classes, there are many opportunities for you, your students, or your chamber ensembles to sing or play at morning prayer, evening prayer, and on Sunday mornings. If there’s a piece you’d like to offer as Abendmusik (a prelude at evening prayer) or Morgenmusik (something on Sunday morning), let us know by using this form. 

Instrumental Parts: As you will see and hear on Monday and Tuesday, we’d like to incorporate more instrumental leadership during services: contact Anne if you’re interested in doing this or if you have ideas about how to involve your students. And once we’ve had a chance to meet the chapel choir, we’ll have a better idea of what’s possible for the festival of hymns on Sunday morning, 21 July: instrumental parts for any special arrangements during festival week should be known by early in week 2.

Other Leadership Roles: Every member of the LSM community is welcome to participate in worship by reading, greeting, carrying things, serving communion on Sunday mornings, and more. You can learn more about these opportunities here. 

Departure

A shuttle will depart Valparaiso University at 11:30am on July 28 to both Midway and O’Hare airports. If you are flying, please schedule your departure time for 3:00pm or later.
