This Saturday is the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

In addition, we started working with 'Shout to the Lord' once more. 'Shout' is a piece we started shortly before Jonathan's summer tour last year. We'll most likely use it as a prelude or meditation song sometime in the near future (no date set yet).
Also, a huge shout-out to Mr. Joe for not only bringing dinner but also discovering why we didn't have power to the sound system in the choir section. The number one rule when working IT tech support: make sure it's plugged in :-)
We have a new addition to the group as well -- Lorna joined us this week and most likely will be sticking around. Make sure to introduce yourself if you haven't already and make her feel welcome.
Jonathan is out this Saturday. Karina and I will also be out for the next several weeks due to other concert/drama commitments. Because of this, there will not be practice after mass this week.
Finally, I've made our group calendar public so it can be viewed without being logged in under a specific account. It can be found here on the website under the 'Calendar' section. It's currently up to date.

Words & Music by Jim Herbert
In my soul there's a place where God takes hold, by His grace, He is known unto me,
Leading me with everlasting love, a flowered gift waiting to unfold.
Oh, it's mystical, as the beating of a heart, as this life He shares with me.
Though this grace, allowing me the space to live His truth each and every day.
Thoughtful prayer helps me become aware, I am loved by God -- just for being.
Oh, it's mystical as the setting of the sun -- lighting up a blazing sky.
I know the grace that He sends forth is like a breeze on a gentle sail,
Only known where it's open wide.
Awake in me the goodness You provide,
share the mystery of love that Christ has shown.
Let me love in order to be known connecting me with those on this path.
I know the grace that He sends forth is like a breeze on a gentle sail,
Only known when it's open wide.
Thoughtful prayer helps me become aware,
I am loved by God -- just for being,
I am loved by God -- just for being.
