Thank you, I Cantori

Today, I Cantori leads the University Church in worship for the final time during the 2018–2019 academic school year.

Notes, rests, intervals, rhythms, tempos, dynamics, tone, diction, and interpretation are I Cantori's tools. We are grateful for your skillful use of these tools to draw us into a palpable sense of God’s presence. Thank you for the hours you spend in rehearsal. Thank you for those often-hurried cafeteria lunches, the long Friday rehearsals, and the juggled social schedules each contributing to the excellence of your music. Your talents are gifts from God, and your musical ministry is a marvelous medium of God-centered worship. We look forward to being led in worship today for the final time this school year.

–Pastor Andreas
