Valentine’s Day Concert

Vocalists Lindsay Dyett, Marietta Formanek, Geoffrey Hobin (from Louisville,KY) and Jeffrey Linebeck and pianists Sara Krohn and Christopher Lewis will present a concert featuring the Brahms¹ “Liebeslieder Waltzes” Op. 52 and “Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes” Op. 65 on Sunday, February 14th at 3:00 pm at the First Baptist Church in Manchester Center, VT.

Brahms' “Liebeslieder (Love Songs) Waltzes” consists of eighteen poems arranged for piano four-hands and vocal quartet, setting texts from George Friedrich Daumer's Polydora. Brahms' sketches suggest that he conceived the shape of the entire cycle before completing individual waltzes. Such was the popularity of this work, that Brahms set to work on another set of waltz texts shortly after their premiere ¬ the “Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes.” Op.
65.

A suggested donation of $10.00 will be collected at the door. A reception will follow.

First Baptist Church is located at the corner of Main and Bonnet Streets at the junction in Manchester Center, VT.
Continue in prayer asking for guardian angels to surround our men and women who are serving to protect our country and freedom. We also pray that God will guide the leaders of this world toward peace.

Greetings from the Mission Committee,

As we head into the holiday season we are presented with an opportunity to show our gratitude and to say Thank You to retired ABC Ministers and Missionaries.
Throughout the month of December we will be collecting the Retired Minister and Missionaries Offering. Last year through your generosity we were able to raise $343,we would like to match that this year and set a goal of $350.This offering goes not only to those that have retired but also to the widowed spouses. We are given the opportunity to show our love and support to those men and woman who have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with countless thousands.
Those that receive from this offering see it as evidence of God’s continuing sustenance and care into their retirement years. Please join us this month in remembering those who dedicated their lives to Christian Ministry and know that any amount you are able to donate helps greatly.

Thank you
Wryanne Zwolenski
