It seems that Father wants to continue using the Penitential Rite beyond Advent. This has been causing a bit of confusion the past few Saturdays; let's be prepared to do it again this week just in case.
The music for this month is still pending Office approval (the Office was closed the ladder half of last week). Will let you know if there are any changes to the program.
'Praise to You, O Christ, Our Savior' is a piece we've only done a few times before. If you're not familiar with it, please look it over. Beyond the melody itself, the lyrics would definitely be worth a look since they tend to be a bit wordy.
No practice after Mass this week since we have nothing new for the next few Saturdays. There is, however, a new Psalm coming up on 1/30, GC #71 - I Will Sing (Psalm 71). Feel free to take a peek at it and let me know if you'd be interested in cantoring!
Maggie is (tentatively) out this week.
UPDATE: 01/05: Jim let me know that he won't be able to make it this week after all. Jonathan has agreed to come and cover.
UPDATE: 01/06: a Lent Planning Meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, 01/14 at 7 PM. I'm planning to attend and will let you guys know what shakes out!
