Songs for Saturday, September 28, 2013

This Saturday is the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Karina and I, as well as quite a few others, were not at mass last week. Sources tell me that Jonathan found some rather creative solutions for the lack of instruments, and huge thanks to Paul once more for filling in.

Also last Saturday, I got a message from Chip (I didn't see it in time due to the party we were hosting) saying that he and Kay wouldn't be attending because Kay fell and hurt her foot to the point of not being able to walk. Please keep Kay in your prayers this week.

This Saturday is the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Karina and I will not be at mass this week (due to Karina's birthday party) and Barry is also out. Additionally, Karina is out the following Saturday, 9/28, due to a BEAHS event.

Jim has volunteered to cover music selection for the month of October, so we should be good-to-go there. I'd like to tentatively plan to rehearse music for October after mass on the 28th.

Speaking of that, at some point, would we like to resume weekly or bi-weekly practices now that summer is coming to a close? I think we could all benefit from the extra practice time so we're not constantly scrambling to pull things together before mass. Thoughts?

This Saturday is the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

It was really nice to finally be at full strength last week with both Jim and Barry back! Barry won't be with us this week, though.

Just another reminder that Karina and I won't be at mass next Saturday, Sept. 21st, due to Karina's birthday party (Yup, you heard right, Barry). Karina will also be out the following week, 9/28, due to a BEAHS event.

For anyone who missed the email, Lisa L. let us know that she won't be able to play an active role in the Choir for the next few months due to other commitments. She may be available, though, to fill-in if needed. Lisa also sends her compliments on mass last week -- nice work, all!

Also, do we have any volunteers to cover music selection for October? We're only a month out at this point, and to my knowledge, nothing's been picked yet...

This coming Saturday is the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Jim was out last week, but should be back this week. Jonathan and Paul were present to cover, though (Barry, do you know when you're planning to be back?).

Once again, I don't have much in the way of news this week. First, we begin Barry's music selections for September (anyone know who's planning to pick for October?). Second, don't forget to review the harmony for verse 4 of 'Behold the Cross', which we learned from Jonathan two weeks ago (verse 3 also has harmony if anyone feels energetic :-). Third, the Psalm we're doing as a group, something we haven't done in quite a while.
