Backtracking a bit: I had one person come to my first Psalms class. That's OK--it was Iris Walker, and she's awesome, and I know Art and Janet had intended to come but got tied up in traffic in Huntersville. Before the next class (June 22), I'm going to be more intentional about recruiting folks to come out. The first session wasn't a big deal, but from here on out they get pretty cool and I'd like to have at least a few people there.
I'm looking forward to Sunday--we're doing a hymn sing! In place of the sermon, we'll have people request favorite hymns. This is when it's handy that the music person is a professional accompanist--Jeana can handle anything anyone throws out. So last night at choir practice, we did the songs we know we're doing (since we'll have our usual 5 songs throughout the service) and then everybody threw out suggestions. There were even a few hymns I didn't know. I
realized that each church has a sort of "canon within a canon" (gah, dork), and although Davidson/Myers Park UMC and Asbury Temple UMC have different canons, Hill's Chapel is different still. One thing I like is that they use the Celebration Hymnal sometimes, which I've seen but don't own. Gotta get me one of those.My mom's coming to visit today! And my siblings, or at least my sister. That'll be fun. :)
All right. Off to make corrections to the bulletin and print it out. Wish me luck.
