Dear Partners in Ministry,
If you listen closely, you can still hear the sounds of big band music echoing in the church! Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for the Dan Zola concert, especially those who volunteered that day. If anyone wants one, I'll have "souvenir" programs on the music stand this weekend.
CityMusic in Concert This Sunday
While it's not part of our Concert Series, our wonderful relationship with CityMusic Chamber Orchestra continues with the first of four concerts this season on Sunday at 4! For more information, visit CityMusic online.
No Rehearsal This Week, BUT...
A reminder that we will not meet for rehearsal tomorrow night, as my boys and I will be spending some quality time together watching the Guardians take on Baltimore. That said: use this time wisely! There's plenty of reviewing, drilling, and looking ahead you could do with our Gaudete rep and upcoming weekend music, and our next rehearsal will be much more productive if each of us stays on top of the music at hand.
Reminder: "Here at This Table" Revisions
A reminder that we're singing the corrected version of JS 777, "Here at This Table," this weekend. If you haven't gotten a copy of the revision insert, they'll be available this weekend. Once you do have it, please tape or glue stick it over the existing page 2 of the song in your JourneySongs book.
Reminder: Christmas Mass Survey
If you can, please take this brief survey sometime in the next week to let me know which Masses (if any) you're planning on being present for as a Music Minister. Thanks!
