5th Sunday of Lent

Thanks for a nice small-group liturgy last week! We had a number of slower selections on the board, which was a good change in pace. Here's the audio

So far, it looks like the consensus on masks is to make them optional. Let me know if you have concerns. Otherwise, let's plan to go mask-optional moving forward & adjust if the situation changes.

Our April music is ready. Keep in mind that Good Friday selections could change; we're also still working on the Easter Sunday program, so I removed it from the music plan for now. 

The April cantor schedule is ready too. As always, we can tweak as needed. I'm happy to share Holy Week cantoring if anyone's interested; I'm just listed as the cantor due to the way things were split up.

Stay tuned for info on a combined choirs Easter Sunday rehearsal -- based on the poll (thanks to all who responded!), we're getting the details sorted out. An email should go out soon.  

Finally, a reminder that we're meeting at 3 PM this Saturday to look at Good Friday music & a possible Easter prelude. Bev can't be there that early, so we'll probably start with a capella pieces and go from there. I'll have copies of the music & binders if needed. 
Stay warm and have a great week!

UPDATE 03/31: The rehearsal date for Holy Thurs, Vigil & Easter Sun has been announced. We'll meet Tues., 04/12 @ 7 PM. See email for details.

UPDATE 04/01: An email went out about Good Friday music & rehearsals.
