There is always a copy of every song for the liturgy prepare in the cantor binder. I’m always willing to provide printed copies of music in advance, but I need at least 48 hours notice in the rare case I am not around when you ask.

SEPTEMBER MUSIC PROGRAM

I would like to invite you to sing with us for a special music program on Thursday, September 19th at 7pm. I am programming musical settings of different Psalms in various styles with beautiful vocal harmonies. The Psalms are a beautiful gift to us, and I want to bring them to attention to others that we can use them to pray and still relate them to our everyday lives.

We will have two rehearsals for the program, Thursday September 5th at 6:30pm and Monday September 16th at 6:30pm.

Please let Dr. Holly know if you’ll be able to participate and if you can make either or both of the rehearsals!

AWAKEN

Join us for an evening of worship music and discussion as we enter into the 3rd year of the National Eucharistic Revival.

A Night of Adoration with music and prayer as we answer the call to be Eucharistic Missionaries in the third year of the eucharistic Revival.

A potluck dinner to follow with discussion about Congress and where we as a church want to go from here.

If you made it this far in the newsletter, send Holly a picture of one of your favorite Fall activities. She’ll stop whatever she is doing and offer a up a “Glory Be” in thanksgiving for all the wondrous things God has done.
