On Sunday, October 9 at 2:00pm we will have a Taize style service in the sanctuary to honor the life of Anne Pope.
Anne was passionate about music. She occasionally played piano, sang solos and sang in the choir, directing it at times, for worship at CUCC. She also served as CUCC’s Office Manager for many years. Anne was a regular at the 9am Taize service and was there at its inception nearly 30 years ago. She enjoyed leading those services at various times. Anne loved CUCC and her friends there brought her much joy.
Doug Barrick has put together some of Anne’s favorite chants and hymns. The Taize style service on October 9 at 2:00pm will include prayers and a time of silence. All are welcome to attend in person. The service will not be live-streamed.
