Tomorrow

Here we go!

Meet at around St. Francis 2:30 PM

We can figure out who needs rides and stuff like that.  We should be leaving by 2:45.

Remember, NO Revelation T-shirts!  Wear something nice (Church clothes, Dress Clothes) but be comfortable because it is a long afternoon.

Mass starts at 4:45 and we will get there by 3:30 so that leaves a lot of time for  warm ups and run throughs.  Make sure you eat well and/or bring something with you to eat.  there may be food there, however time goes fast and we may not get a chance to get it so be prepared.

If you can, find the following

Shout to the Lord
Rain Down
We Will Walk
Awesome God
Reason To Live
Lord I Lift your Name
Jesus Lifted High
Find Us Ready
Now is the time to worship
I could sing of your love

This is for prelude music.  We will not do all of these, I just want to have some choices of things we can do that are fun and easy to put together in a short amount of time.  I am open for request.  I will be checking mail around noon tomorrow so if you have something let me know.

A few changes to the Mass music.  we are not doing Halle Halle Halle, we are doing the Celtic Alleluia instead music will be available tomorrow.  Also no Profession, it will be spoken, not sung. 

As I am looking through the Mass music, I am finding some other songs that we can use as prelude also,

Angels We Have Heard On High
O Come Emmanuel
Away in A Manger
The First Noel
Hark The Herald Angels Sing
What Child Is This

  we will use these first and if we need more we can use the ones up top.   We should Have Plenty of stuff to do.  Always better to be over-prepared than under!

Sleep Well...

Merry Christmas To All....

Music for January will be listed Next week....

See some of you soon..

The rest of you enjoy your break!

Peace and Love

More OSC stuff

Mass will start at 4:45 PM on Friday.  The sound guys will get there around 1:30 pm and we should be there by 3:30 at the latest to give and hour for set up and rehearsing at the very least. 

Of course the door is open to those who have been part of this Mass in the past.  Come on out!

I know that they are providing a lead singer, no piano player at this time and I am not sure about the guitars as of yet.  However Sister Mary Kay spoke highly of our group and is very excited about Friday. 

If you didn't get the message here is the music.  One change, we will not do Halle Halle Halle as requested by the teens helping to organize the Mass.  We will do another Alleluia instead.  Also prelude music has not been named yet however, I can see "Lord I Lift Your Name", "Awesome God" possibly "Jesus Lifted High"  maybe even "Find Us Ready".  This is not set in stone yet so stay tuned.

OSC stuff

We have been playing phone tag.  However these are the songs we are going to be doing on Friday

O Come O Ye Faithful
Gloria
All The Ends of The Earth
Halle Halle
Profession of Faith?
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Doxology/Amen
Lamb of God
Night of Silence/Silent Night
First Noel
Joy To The World

Songs may or may not be in this order and we may add a few here or there.  Still trying to nail down details with exactly who else will be there besides us, what other music we may need to do and times.  I do know...no Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!

Sister Mary Kay and I have been playing phone tag so she knows were coming and she is delighted to have us.  So hopefully we will actually speak soon.

Keep a check on email for meeting times and the like.  Have a great week.

Here we come OSC!

Hey folks!  Great Mass last week!

We are on for OSC on Friday!  I will pass the finer details when I get them however the same music from last year and no Happy Birthday Baby Jesus.

Their music are all Christmas titles that you probably already know, Psalm 98, Joy to the World, Silent Night, Etc.

Brass players I will see if I can lock down the keys that the songs are in top give you music.  If not you can always play by ear.

In the past we have met around 2:30 pm at St. Francis and drove down together.  We will have some type of rehearsal there for sound and then the Mass starts.

Keep your eyes open for other details.

Hello!

Go Birds!!!! 

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season.  Just a note about our next Life Teen Mass, next weekend  December 12.

Rehearsal Saturday morning at 10 AM in Ward hall.  

Come, O Holy Spirit
To you O God, I lift Up my Soul
Look To The One
At The name of Jesus

I will be taking the music to the rectory on Monday afternoon.   Check your music because you probably have some of these titles already.  Come O Holy Spirit we have not done.

BTW you were great at the Prayer service before Thanksgiving.  Check out this email

Hi Derrick!

Just wanted to thank you and Revelation for an outstanding job at the
Community Thanksgiving Service last Wednesday night.  You brought energy and
joy to our celebration and many people from other churches, as well as our
own, were very positive and complimentary of your music.  Props to all of
you--the instrumentalists, vocalists, and tech support--your sound was
excellent and the volume and balance right there.

On behalf of Fr. Sal, Fr. Mike, Fr. Jim, Sr. Ellie, and Tom Wimer, I give
our congratulations, kudos, and appreciation to all of Revelation!  Please
pass this along to them.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Best regards,

Caryl

Thank you for all that you do!  I can't thank you enough!  You guys are awesome.  I look forward to this weekend.  If you will not be with us let me know.  Have a great week.

Peace,

Derrick
