November 9, 2025 – Joint Choir Invitation from First Parish of Stoughton, MA Music Coordinator

“Joint Choir Invitation from Music Coordinator Linda F. Brookfield:

Music Coordinator Linda F. Brookfield invites you to join once again to sing together at our upcoming Five Points Cluster shared worship service in Stoughton on November 9^th. The service starts at 10:30. She would like to meet at 9:30 for warm-up and then get to work. She hopes to finish the practice no later than 10:10. That will give us time to have a little break and let the minister, worship associate, and Linda go over some details of the service.

The anthem is Thanksgiving Song by Mary Chapin Carpenter, arranged by John Purifoy. Please listen to the recording. This recording has some timing mistakes. That’s because the timing is a bit tricky, but Linda will help us get through it! Linda would also like us to sing it a bit faster than presented here. If you happen to have this piece in your library, please bring your own copy.  Linda has 10 copies in our music library for our use that day.

Linda hopes to have us use Dona Nobis Pacem (gray hymnal Singing the Living Tradition #388) as a round for the entire church that day as the Closing Music (Postlude).  Linda would have us sing it as a round.

Please let Linda know that you plan to attend by emailing her at:  music@firstparishstoughton.org

Thank you!  Hope to see you on November 9!”
