2nd Sunday of Easter
We did it -- Holy Week was a huge success! The music for Good Friday was beautiful, and the Easter Sunday program was quite a bit of fun (recordings HERE and HERE). Our new Parish Hall setup seemed to be a good way to go as well, so we'll probably use this again next time.
Huge thanks to all who were able to participate, from singing/playing to setup and tear-down. We received a number of compliments from Father Charlie, fellow music ministers and parishioners alike. I realize it was a lot for one weekend (and there were a few challenges Sunday morning), but everything seemed to come together nicely. We should mostly be back to normal this week (if there is such a thing :-).
If you haven't already, please don't forget to return your black binders as well as copies of I Will Rise and Who is That Man?. Likewise, if you don't need/want the rest of your Easter Sunday sheet music, feel free to give it to me as well. We can keep this music on file for next year, which will make logistics much easier (ie not as much printing/copying).
Stay tuned for the music for May -- I'm hoping to have it ready in the next week or so (haven't started picking yet; too much else going on lately...).
Finally, I had mentioned previously being out this week, but should be able to make it after all. I just won't be able to stick around afterward. I will, however, be out on 05/11 and possibly 05/25 (not sure yet). If anyone else will be out on those dates, please let me know so we can plan accordingly. Thanks!
UPDATE: 04/26: The final program for Saturday can be found HERE. Note that we essentially have a Confirmation & Baptism for a candidate who was unable to attend Vigil (this wasn't part of the original plan I sent Tuesday). The Gathering song has been replaced with the Gloria and the response for the Anointing with Chrism is also new. Please take a look (especially text in red) and let me know if any questions!
