expect music

This Sunday Nate Stucky will lead the contemporary singing with guitar. One of the songs he has written himself. After the benediction he will sing a blessing song he has written for the MCUSA youth convention--"Zephaniah."

So, there's two new songs. Another new one will be the hymn before the sermon, "Slowly turning, ever turning." I'll lead that one from the piano. The tune is a Gaelic folk song.

Here's Nate with his wife, Janel, and two children, Joshua and Jenna

To do lists

Here's some of the things I'm working on:

-line up special music for the summer months
-follow up the organ concert event, offering amount, attendance, thank yous to the partners etc
-contact organ subs for a few summer Sundays
-contact Nate Stucky, the summer seminarian, about how he wants to interact with music and worship
-prep for the choir singing at Dock Meadows this Sunday evening
-put the Felix Hell CD in library so it is available
-read a new book on using instruments in worship
-come up with a non-verbal component for Pentecost
-follow up on the decisions of the worship planning committee of last evening
-update the worship teams schedule

Whew. I wonder why I was busy today. And I didn't even get to any organ practice yet.
