Music is in my box.  Slight adjustment with the gathering song

All Are Welcome
To You O God I Lift Up My Soul
Reason To Live
Look To The One
Find Us Ready

I know a few ladies will not be there on Sunday, however we are still going to give the Lord Praise and Glory!  I will be calling the Rectory to see if the church is available for tomorrow for some type of rehearsal and we should be good.  10 am for those that can make it. Not sure if our piano players will be there so I will do my best to beat it out myself.

Again, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for our family in this difficult time.

Hey everyone.  I hope to be ready to go this weekend.  My Goal is to deliver music sometime today  and go with rehearsal Sat at 10 and on Sunday set up time as normal around 4.

I don't know how much time I will have to email so if you don't hear from me that is the plan.  I am sorry for getting music out so late but under the circumstance there was nothing else I could do.

Hello All,

Just wanted to inform that the LORD called my mom (Carlean B) home late Tuesday Night/early Wednesday(12/10/03).  She is now at peace.

I want to say thank you all for all your prayers over these past months for Mom and the family.  We are working on finalizing service dates and times.  Hopefully by the end of today we will know.

Love,
Derrick, Helen & D.J.

Outstanding job once again on Sunday!   Lots of positive feedback!   You should be very proud.  Check out the message below!

Looking ahead to the 14th of December, here is the music that has been selected

Reason to Live (Preparation)
Look to The One (Communion)
Find Us Ready (Thanksgiving)

At this point I am looking at doing "To You O God" again as the Psalm and the gathering song is still in the air.  We will know that by the end of the week.

Hope everything is well.   Talk with you soon.

Derrick

Hi Derrick!

Just wanted to say THANKS for the wonderful way you and Revelation
ministered to us yesterday.  The word uplifting can only begin to scratch
the surface in describing the great job all of you did.  Your energy, joy,
and faith really came through!!!  Lots of people mentioned how good the
music was--it was their first experience with Revelation and they hope to
come to future Life Teen Masses.

Could you please forward this message along to all the Revelation members. 
Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Best regards,

Caryl
