MUSIC MINISTRY PRAYER REQUESTS
All our SMM Parishioners who have passed.
MONTHLY PRAYER
Father, Creator of all, thank You for summer!
Thank you for the warmth of the sun
and the increased daylight.
Thank You for the beauty I see all around me
and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation.
Thank You for the increased time I have to be with my friends and family,
and for the more casual pace of the summer season.
Draw me closer to You this summer.
Teach me how I can pray
no matter where I am or what I am doing.
Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence
and light my path with Your Word and Counsel.
As I enjoy Your creation, create in me
a pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for You.

Please submit but June 10th
LAROSA PSALMS
We will typically use the metered version of the LaRosa psalms, unless otherwise noted on the music plans. Also, some of her psalms have a sung “coda/ending”, which can be omitted…our practice will be to end the refrain as it is sung throughout the Responsorial Psalm, no extra phrases added. Many LaRosa psalms have been updated since last year, please download the most recent version from the shared folder.
HYMNAL RESOURCES
In the back room behind the organ I have the following resources available:
Keyboard Cabinet: Journeysongs; Gather 4; Gather 3; Green Gather; Choose Christ; Spirit & Song; Lead Me, Guide Me
Guitar/Instrumentalist Cabinet: Journeysongs Guitar; Journeysongs Instrumental; Gather 4 C Instrument; Choose Christ Guitar; Spirit & Song Guitar
I try my best to maintain a printed copy of any sheet music not in those resources in the binder in the piano bench.
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.
NEW MASS SETTING FOR ORDINARY TIME
I have written a new Mass Setting for the St. Margaret Mary Catholic Community and it will be introduced at the end of May as we prepare to enter into a new season of Ordinary Time this summer. Over the past year I’ve been trying to find the perfect Mass setting to switch to for Ordinary Time, and I haven’t found one that fit all my requirements for SMM.
Requirements included:
