Songs & Updates for Saturday, August 23, 2014


This Saturday is the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We ended up not sticking around after mass last week to practice.

This week, we begin our 'new approach' to music with a common Gathering and Sending song each week, as well as one common Communion song for the month.

Again, the goal is to reduce our repertoire so we can focus more on rehearsing a smaller pool of songs, rather than doing new(-ish) ones every week. The songs for the next month have already been selected and sent on to the Office.

Jim, Karina, Lisa K., and Ginny are out this week.

There will be practice after mass from 7-8 PM.

Here are the songs for this week:

Gathering:
SS 137 - The Summons (vs 1-3)

SS 73 - Come, Worship the Lord (Psalm 95)

Holy, Holy, Holy:
