Songs & Updates for Friday, April 3, 2015

This is a special post for Good Friday mass.

Mass last week went pretty smoothly even with the last-minute program and format changes. We did run into issues with 'Unless a Grain of Wheat' once again, but everything else turned out quite nicely. We had a bite to eat (thanks, Jim!) and then several of us stuck around to begin looking at the songs for later this week.

This Saturday is Palm Sunday, the official start of Holy Week.

Mass, overall, went pretty well last week. Songs such as 'Dust and Ashes', 'Be Merciful, O Lord', 'Only This I Want' and 'Change Our Hearts' all sounded really good. The prelude was a bit messy, Father started the Penitential Act without without giving us a cue, and Communion got off to a bumpy start (and ended too abruptly), but there otherwise weren't any serious issues. Thanks to all involved -- it was great to be at nearly full-strength again!

This Saturday is the 5th Sunday of Lent.

We had a nice-sized crew last week and mass went pretty well -- I think we're finally back on track after a bit of a messy past few months. Nice job, all!

This Saturday is the Forth Sunday of Lent.

Despite another rushed rehearsal, we made it through mass without any major problems. We spent the first half of practice working out some issues with the sound system. We had a visiting priest, and Chip and Barry covered guitar in Jim and Jonathan's absence. Probably our biggest challenges were intros and communication. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

This Saturday is the Third Sunday of Lent.

Despite a rushed rehearsal, mass turned out fairly well with only a few minor issues. Of note, we where able to not only pull together the prelude, but also a new Psalm and make it through two pieces that we ran out of time to practice. Thanks to all who where able to be there!
