Wednesday’s dress rehearsal for “Les Miserables: The Sermon” was downright exhilarating. I left it to the individual cast members to do their own costuming and find amazed all over again at their creativity. I am so gratified to have been able with this great group of souls the past ten weeks. Wow.

With “Les Miserables” vacating the sanctuary on Wednesday nights, the choir returns to its regular rehearsal time next week—7:00-8:00. The choir will be making its fall debut on the 16th and we’d love to plug you in.

The 2007 St. Andrew’s Dinner/Dance/Auction is scheduled for The Champions Club on November 16. Nancy and I have been pondering our own personal contribution to the auction and I think we’ve settled on something pretty neat. Tickets are on sale now. It’s a great event.

A week from tonight is TRIVIA NIGHT. Tickets are just $5. Sign up this Sunday in the Rotunda.

Psalm 140:1-6, A song of Les Miserables:
Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers; protect me from those who are violent, who plan evil things in their minds and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a snake’s, and under their lips is the venom of vipers. Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent who have planned my downfall. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a neat, along the road they have set snares for me.”
