Our Christ and Holy Trinity rehearsal will run from 7:30 till 9:30, as normal The church is located at 75 Church Lane, Westport, and it is my understanding that there is ample parking behind the church. I am also guessing that the room that we will be using will be easy to find!!

Only two more rehearsals till the end of the year concert at the Levitt!! Let's try to make them count!! Remember that our July 6th rehearsal will be at the Levitt and will start at 7:00, not 7:30!! More about that rehearsal later!!
