27th in OT (C • 2025)
Greetings All—
Here is our ordo for Sunday. We will be a skeletal crew, but we can do it! I’m also hoping we will enjoy the company of a special guest, but I’ll keep that as a surprise. 😄
In other news: I’m very pleased to report that the organ was functioning normally on Friday… that’s no promise for Sunday, of course, but it is a sign for hope at the very least! I have moved a digital piano up to the loft as an emergency backup in case anything begins to manifest again.
See you Sunday at 8:45am!

Greetings All—
Here is our ordo for Sunday. We will likely be down a few voices due to illness / commitments, so make sure you sing out! Also, there is a recording of the Entrance Antiphon below; we did not manage to get to this at rehearsal since I forgot the worship aids in my office. It is very easy, and a simple psalm tone, so no need to sweat it. Ad-free mp3’s for verse 3 of More Love to Thee are linked below.
