February 2nd, 2020, Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

The Family Choir will be singing this Sunday, February 2nd, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord.  We will meet at the usual time at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday morning to get organized for the practice and then begin rehearsal at 10:00 a.m.  The Mass will begin at at 11:00 a.m.

The following is my understanding of how the liturgy will work on Sunday morning based on the write up in the Living With Christ Sunday Missal for this Feast.  The details still need to be confirmed with Fr. Beachey.  The congregation will be invited into the Parish Hall.  While candles are being lit, we will sing CBW 394 The Light of Christ (Christmas Verses 4 & 5) with Grace leading on her guitar.  There will then be some prayers and remarks by Fr. Beachey.  Then everyone will process back into the church while we sing GP 723 - Glory and Praise to Our God (Verses 1-3).  Grace will again be leading on her guitar.
