9/11/16 - Outreach Sunday/Casual Sunday/Sneaker Sunday
|
We wore casual clothing to our worship service because Sunday school and a cookout were planned immediately after we worshiped together in the chapel. Sunday school was held on the corps lawn beside the chapel, and the cookout serving tables were under a canopy at the community center entrance. Anyone who wanted to attend any of these events was welcome.
Lois Rader led Sunday school with the assistance of others. She led singing and accompanied the singing on her keyboard. Using flannelgraph, she told the biblical story of Jacob and his son Joseph and his brothers. Afterwards, the children donned costumes and acted out the story as it was narrated. The cookout included hamburgers, hot dogs, and their fixin's, chips, funnel cakes, and drinks. |

HEMPSTEAD CITADEL SONGSTER LEADER
HONORED AT PROFILE NIGHT PROGRAM
|
Hempstead Citadel Songster Leader Tom Mack was honored at The Salvation Army GNY Division's 37th Profile Night program on April 10, 2016. All of the music in the program was his - whether compositions or arrangements or transcriptions. Because most of his music has been written for corps groups, including children's groups, rather than for highly skilled music groups, the brass and vocal groups and soloists presenting his music during the program were from GNY corps. The larger groups were as follows: Spring Valley & Hempstead Citadel senior bands combined, Hempstead Citadel senior songsters, Queens Temple youth band, White Plains corps youth chorus, and Westbury corps timbrels. A cornet trio, euphonium solo, and tuba (or lower brass) quartet played more advanced music. The final program item was presented by a vocal soloist, the band, and the congregation. If you care to hear any of the program, watch the video next to this text (program begins at about 14.30 minutes into the video).
