Songs & Updates for Saturday, November 4, 2017
This Saturday is the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Nice job last week! Our guitar section was out, but we still had a strong Mass centered around piano, violin and percussion. A few of us stuck around after Mass for a bite to eat, and had a chance to do some preliminary planning for Christmas.

This Tuesday is the Feast of All Saints.
As previously noted, we've been asked to lead the music for the All Saints Day liturgy on October 31st at 7 PM. The Sunday Choirs are handling the two remaining All Saints/All Souls Masses later in the week. Feel free to join them if you're able.

We had a pretty small group last week, including Bev, Tom, Maggie, Lisa, Steve, Barry, Rose and I. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to fill in the gaps!

This Saturday is the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Nice job last week! Despite having a pretty small group, all of our songs had some great energy and harmony (a few samples here, here and here). It's easy to forget how effective a small group can be :-) Special thanks to Frances and Jonathan for joining us!

Thanks for another solid Mass last week! Everything flowed very well. Father also complimented us on vocal harmonies (apparently, this was mentioned at the other Masses as well). There were a few songs where the tempo was perhaps a bit too fast, but that's on me.

Songs & Updates for Saturday, October 7, 2017
This Saturday is the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Nice job last week! We wrapped up our final (regular) Season of Creation Mass on a high note. The new Communion song, Where Two or Three Are Gathered (here), went very well for a first run. Since we took the time to learn it, I'd like to continue using this through the end of October.
Our first monthly dinner was also a success. Thanks to all who were able to bring food and hang out for a bit. I'd like to continue doing this regularly moving forward (perhaps on the last Saturday of each month?). Besides on-site pot luck, we could also explore other venue/food possibilities.
