Bethany Lutheran Church - Special Music

Music Schedule

2009-2010 MUSIC PROGRAM

Following is a list of services and anthems tentatively scheduled to occur between September 12, 2010, and September 4, 2011. It is subject to modification as the year unfolds, but it's my intention to adhere to it as closely as possible. For those of you who care, the Redskins' schedule has been noted (e.g., "R-H-1" means they play at home at 1 p.m.). A "Highlights" page has been provided for posting on your refrigerator or wherever. See the monthly issue of "All That Jazz" for updates! Remember to sign out on the master calendar if you know you're going to be absent, or call me at my ‘home office’ [703-370-8270], or e-mail me wrdzmzk@gmail.com), or call my cell (703-303-5585). This year’s motto (as always): Everything is subject to change! You can download 2011 calendars NOW!
