Spring Tour 2014 Information
for Potential Host Churches
Pastors and Congregations,
Thank you for considering hosting the Epworth Choir from Cuyahoga Falls First UMC. On this page, you will find information helpful in making your decision.
The touring Epworth Choir is composed of about 35 youth, grades 7-12. Their musical selections include a variety of pieces, ranging from classical to contemporary. This year's tour features traditional anthems and a shortened version of the musical Celebrate Life.
Listed below are some sample pieces from Epworth Choir's Home Concert performed last spring. Feel free to sample and share the pieces with others helping in your decision.
Epworth Choir will be traveling March 22 through 29. They will travel through the East Coast states inclucing Washington D.C. and New York City.
Time with the host church(es) is usually scheduled as follows:
4:00 pm Arrive at host church
Set up for concert
Pre-concert rehearsal
6:00 pm Dinner, provided by the church
In the past, churches have ordered pizzas, shared in a potluck,
or provided a group meal
7:00 pm Concert, open to the church and the surrounding community
8:30 pm Youth and adults are coordinated with host families and sent home with
them.
7:30 am Next day, host families return youth or adults back to the church for
departure
Host churches are asked to provide space for the concert, an evening meal for the group, and, if the church desires, a love offering. Epworth Choir will be bringing their own robes, risers, and additional equipment for the concert. If a piano or organ is available at the church, they are used with the permission of the church.
Homes hosting youth for the night are asked to take 2 or more of the same gender youth or 2 or more of the same gender adults to their home and to provide breakfast for them in the morning. A light breakfast of cereal is welcomed.
