Songs & Updates for Saturday, January 21, 2017
This Saturday is the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Last week was yet another solid Mass! Tim joined us on piano, and there were only a few very minor issues. I think the Psalm, Here I Am, and closing song, Lift Up Your Hearts, were the highlights. Thanks to all who were able to be there, especially with the nasty weather!

Songs & Updates for Saturday, January 14, 2017
This Saturday is the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Nice job last week! We had another strong night, with most everything going smoothly. No more Christmas songs for a while, though :-(
I also wanted to put out a special thanks to Lise for singing with us over the past year! Lise is our youngest member, and joined us in January, 2016. Lise's mom is taking a job out-of-state, and this was her last week singing with us.

This Saturday is Epiphany.
Welcome to 2017, and I hope everyone had a safe and fun-filled New Year!
Mass last week was very solid, and probably our strongest in a while. It was great to end the year on a high note. Instrumentalists, I also appreciated the save at the end of Sing of Mary -- I wasn't watching closely enough, and despite my bad direction, you all managed to end the song together :-)
Father's only comment was regarding the transition between the Penitential Rite and Gloria. This took a bit longer than it should have due to the logistics of page turns, etc.. We may want to experiment with having Maggie start the song (and letting everyone else join in a few bars later), and/or making photocopies of the music.
