MUSIC MINISTRY PRAYER REQUESTS
All our SMM Parishioners who have passed.
MONTHLY PRAYER
Saint Cecilia, intercede for all musicians and those working in the music industry. Help them to remain true to themselves and the creative gifts God has given them. May their music help others and do much good in this world, and, one day, may they join the eternal chorus in heaven forever. Amen.

Cantor Shelf Hymnals: Journeysongs; Gather 4; Gather 3, Choose Christ, Spirit & Song, Breaking Bread
In the back room behind the organ I have the following resources available:

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.
