This Saturday is the 5th Sunday of Lent.
Despite being down a couple of folks, Mass last week went quite well. Congratulations to Lise for cantoring her first song with us (with a little help from Jaclyn :-). I also wanted to pass along the compliments of several folks who approached me during the Pancake Breakfast on Sunday. Nice job, all!
Kristen let us know that she's accepted her job offer and will be starting at the beginning of April. I hate to loose her after such a short tenure, but wish her the best of luck!
I like how our Communion Meditation songs have been turning out. Last week, Jim did 'The Servant Song', which we transitioned directly into 'Remember Your Love'. This is definitely something we should continue doing moving forward; if anyone has songs they'd like to sing/play, this could be a great opportunity to solo or duet.
We'll be doing verses 3, 7 & 9 of 'Whatsoever You Do' this week.
As I mentioned last week, stay tuned for details on Holy Week and a possible extra practice (or two). We're only a couple of weeks out at this point. Below is the tentative schedule -- note that we normally cover Good Friday and one Easter Sunday Mass.
- March 19th - Palm Sunday (regular Saturday Mass)
- March 24th - Holy Thursday - Mass at 7 PM (Barb's group covering)
- March 25th - Good Friday - Mass at 2 PM / Stations at 7 PM
- March 26th - Easter Vigil - time TBA (PM) (Barb's group covering)
- March 27th - Easter Sunday - 9 AM (Parish Hall)
Maggie is (tentatively) out this week.
There will be no rehearsal after Mass.
