Songs & Updates for Saturday, December 31, 2016

This Saturday is the Feast of Mary, Mother of God.

Huge thanks to those who where able to sing/play at Christmas Eve Mass last week! I know there were a few issues with the Homily and Eucharist portions, but I appreciate everyone's willingness to jump in head first and try to make everything work. The rest of the program was actually pretty solid, and I hope everyone had some fun pulling it off. If we end up doing a Children's Program again next year, this should give us a better idea of what to expect.

This Saturday is Christmas Eve.

I wasn't at Mass last week, so I don't have much in the way of updates. Both Eva and Maggie had to call off, so thanks to Jim for running things.

I ran into Tim, the person who's interested in playing piano, on Sunday. As we go into the new year, I'd like to see about bringing him into the fold. Between him and Eva, that'll give us more options and flexibility for keyboard coverage. More on this later.

This Saturday is the 4th Sunday of Advent.

Special thanks to Eva and Tom for covering instruments last week! We ended up switching out the Psalm for one that was more piano-friendly; there were a few challenges here and there with entrances and Mass Parts, but nothing serious. Of all the songs we did, I think the Psalm and 'Each Winter' were probably the highlights.

This Saturday is the Third Sunday of Advent.

Mass last week was pretty solid, with the last song being pretty exceptional (check it out below :-). There weren't any major issues, but please do remember to watch for cues so we come in together (and stay together) throughout songs.
