Curtis Haley has been our church organist and choir director for many years, and is now retiring to move to North Carolina to be nearer to his family. He has also led the Hoperful Cluster of United Methodist Churches in Lenten and Advent Cantatas for the past 4 years. We have all enjoyed his humor, his stories, his patience, and his musical talents.
To celebrate his musical gifts and leadership, we will have a choir sing-along and reception on June 22 at the church at 4pm. Choirs from the Good Shepherd UMC in Haverhill, First Parish UMC in Salisbury, Amesbury UMC, Merrimacport UMC and Byfield Community UMC are invited to join People's UMC Newburyport by bringing an anthem to sing. We'll also sing a few hymns together and send Curtis off with a song of encouragement and blessing, "Go Ye Into the World."
A reception will be held in Hartson Hall after the musical celebration.
