Spirit Song Update! Thank you! and what’s coming up. . . please read the whole email!!

December 20, 2019 By spiritsong

Dear Spirit Song,

My heart is so full as I think about what has transpired over just this past week: we’ve sung 4 concerts, and led two sing-alongs, filled with love and hope and joy. The response from Stonecrest, Woodbury Senior living and St. Therese has been wonderful—as has been the feedback from Sing We All Noel! That was a truly amazing afternoon, and the community really showed up! Thank you, thank you, thank you, on behalf of all of our community partners, for investing yourselves and your gifts in this work of the heart. Have a wonderful, joyous Christmas—may it be filled with love—and singing!

We will not have rehearsal on December 26 . . . (I know. . you don’t know what you’ll do with a Thursday evening off. . . 😊) but please look ahead at the sign ups, as we have a special invite for January 4!!!

Looking ahead:

We’ve one more opportunity in December: Christmas Eve morning at Woodbury Senior Living

Spirit Song Update! Wow!

Dear Spirit Song!

What can I even say after yesterday’s beautiful concert! You all gave it your all, and you sang beautifully , and with such love, right from your hearts. What a joy to hear the wonderful sounds of our young friends from WHS, ERHS and Spirit Song Youth, and to watch the incredible grace of our dancers. Together it was a powerful gift for so many! You should know that the free will offering brought in $3,524 for the Christian Cupboard Emergency Food Shelf! Incredible!

How wonderful that we get to share our Christmas Concert twice more this week:

Tuesday at 7:00 at Woodbury Health Care Center

(call time is 6:30—but if you are able to come at 6:15, that would be helpful!)

Thursday at 6:00 at St. Therese!

(call time is 5:30—but if you are able to come at 5:15, that would helpful!)

Please plan to wear your jewel toned tops and black slacks/skirts. . . I’ve attached the concert order for both of these concerts! It’s the same order as this weekend’s concerts, but here it is on one page. . .)

We do have a Christmas Carol singalong at Stonecrest on Thursday at 2:30 (call time is 2:00)

(Wear fun and festive Christmas attire!) as well as our Wednesday morning hymn sing at Woodbury Estates. . . so much singing! You will need your hymnals for both of these!!

Have a lovely evening, and I’ll see most of you tomorrow !

Peace and Blessings

Mary

Spirit Song Update! So many thanks! and so much singing this week!

November 19, 2019 By spiritsong

Dear Spirit Song!

What an incredible weekend we shared! It was so amazing to finally sing as a full group on Saturday! I know the seating arrangement was, well, new and different, (thanks for just rolling with it all!) but you sounded wonderful, and you truly supported the singing of the community throughout the Mass!

Special thanks to Corey and Monica for their wonderful accompaniment, and Lisa and Bill for serving as cantors.

Our first ever Spirit Song Thanksgiving was an absolute delight—it’s so good to share a meal together.

There are some people we need to especially thank for making this happen:

Meg May—for asking “What can I do to help?” And then running with all of the organization, set up and clean up for the event! Thank you Meg!

Peg Regruth–for doing what Peg does . . . including table décor, set up, greeting, organizing. .

Thank you Peg!

Joani and Cari and George and Heather and Anna and all who helped out in various ways!

Sharon and Fr. John and Michael at St. Pascal’s

All of you for your offerings of food—what an amazing feast!!!

We have a busy week ahead! Here are some reminders and updates:

  1. Tues., Nov. 19: sing a long at Stonecrest at 2:30 (please arrive at 2:00)
  2. Tues., Nov. 19: Rehearsal! 7-9
  3. Wed., Nov. 20: sing a long at Woodbury Estates at 10:00 (please arrive at 9:40)
  4. Thurs. Nov. 21: Service of Remembrance at St. Therese. 6:00 (arrive at 5:30)

(the chapel is available to us after the service, if we’d like to rehearse a bit)

If you have not yet signed up, for Tuesday or Thursdays events, please do so!

Here is the December sign up. Please take a look at sign up for as many as you can!

December will be our busiest month.. .Tenors and basses—I’m looking at you!

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050444abaa29a1f85-december

Meanwhile please spread the word about our December 15 concert at 3:00 at Woodbury Lutheran!

“Sing We all Noel!” will be a wonderful afternoon of music for all ages! All are welcome!

We will be joined by the JuBELLee Ringers from Woodbury Lutheran, and Chamber Choirs from both East Ridge and Woodbury High Schools.

Looking forward to singing with you this week!

Peace and Blessings,

Mary
