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.

Joe and Ben where investigating why the sound system in the Church isn't balancing particularly well. After looking at the settings, they were able to tweak a few things under our profile. Some more adjustments are still needed, but we're moving in the right direction.

This definitely isn't set in stone, but a draft of our Christmas program can be found here. It assumes that we'll be doing the same Children's Program as last year. This probably won't be finalized for a while, but just wanted to get a head-start on planning. Again, if you have any ideas for songs you'd like to do, let me know.

If you're available to sing/play, we're leading the music for the All Saints Day Mass on 10/31 at 7 PM. Details can be found in a separate post (here). Also feel free to help out the Sunday Choirs with the remaining All Saints/All Souls Day Masses later in the week.

The music for November has been sent to the Office for approval. The cantor schedule went out as well. Will let you know if there are any changes to this week's program.

As previously mentioned, we have quite a few folks out over the next month. For this week, Lisa and I are out for a choir concert. Jim and Maggie are also tied up. I'm leaving Bev, Ginny and (possibly) Jonathan in command. If you have any questions on the program, please feel free to get in touch with me (our concert doesn't start until 7:30 PM). Otherwise, I'll leave you guys to it!

If I don't see you Tuesday, Happy Halloween!
