Hello, or Welcome Back~

It snowed again this weekend, on top of little flowers ready to bloom! It feels like a similar mashup as I write this, about finishing Lent and moving into the Easter season.

First we continue to mention our new choir piece, She Poured the Perfume, which goes with the Gospel for April 6th, 2025. It's too late to begin rehearsing this, but you might take a look.

Another adult choir piece for Year C is our choir version of One Early Morning on a Shore. This is a retelling of the wonderful Gospel lesson for the Third Sunday of Easter, May 4th.

For Holy Week's Maundy Thursday, we offer our solo Song of John with its reference to Jesus washing the disciples' feet, or our song/hymn Lord, Before that Quiet Meal, about communion. For Easter, we have our solo On the Way for dark-beginning Easter services.

Coming Shortly! For the Second Sunday of Easter, this year, we'll be offering a paraphrase of Psalm 118, with guitar. This flexible Psalm-tone-esque piece can be done with a cantor and choir/congregation. Or, a small unison choir can take the role of cantor. An additional instrument can help support the melodies.

For communion services during the season of Easter we offer two songs: Jesus, Feed Us references Christ sharing the Spirit from the Gospel lesson for April 27th. A congregational hymn version of One Early Morning on a Shore goes well with communion services on or after May 4th.

Mother's Day is May 11th, which coincides with the annual "Christ, the Good Shepherd" themes of the Fourth Sunday of Easter. If you have a young choir, you might consider our youth choir piece Lost Sheep.

Finally, we continue to mention our hymn God Must Delight When Trees Leaf Out for whenever trees begin greening near you!

When we produce our next installment of suggestions, it will probably, at long last, be spring here!

Do check back! And may you have a most blessed Easter!
