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.

This Saturday is the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

It was great to be nearly at full strength last week! We had a few slightly-iffy intros and two Baptisms, but everything overall went pretty well. Jim, Jonathan and Maggie also did a lovely rendition of 'Grace Revealed' as a prelude. There was a technical issue with my audio recorder, though, and nothing was captured (grrr....).

I missed mentioning this in my last post, but please welcome Jeff to the group! Ginny recruited him to join us last week.

This Saturday is the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We were a little short on instrumentalists last week, but ended up with a nice group of singers. Mass was overall pretty solid, and it was nice to 'keep things simple' for a change. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there!

This Saturday is the Solemnity of All Saints.

We where pretty thin on musicians last week, with many of our key players and singers out. Thanks once again to Tom and Joe for taking point on most of the songs, and for all the singers who where able to make it!

We also had the chance to work with singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker Jesse Manibusan, who was at Good Shepherd to to run both a morning retreat and evening presentation/concert. Jesse ended up leading us in singing our Offertory song, 'Open My Eyes', and also performed a post-Communion meditation piece, 'Sacred Silence'. It was a true pleasure to have him with us for the evening!

This Saturday is All Souls Day.

Last Saturday, despite some concerns at practice, mass ended up coming together fairly well. We did not stick around to practice afterward, though.
