Leaders' Schedule for June - August

Here's the Leaders' Schedule for the next 3 months as agreed upon and arranged at Wednesday's meeting. Please notify Maria (2264247) as soon as possible if there are any changes you would like to happen. For those of us whose names are not in this list yet, we can always volunteer to help process the children out to the Marian Hall and back again. Or, better still, this early we can have our names listed down for the months after August.

Also, while we are still in need of more leaders and readers, we are feeling the acute shortage of cantors. We now have both a guitar and a keyboard we can use in addition to our "percussion" instruments (okay, the maracas and eggs and tambourine). What we need are the people to play them. Since playing the guitar doesn't require a bachelor's degree in music, any one of us would qualify! If you, or anybody you know, are talented in music - even minutely - and have the big heart required to play for children, do let us know. The children already sing very well on their own, but we all need the cantors to help us raise our songs ever higher up to God.

May God bless us all, especially the Leaders/Presiders in the coming months.
