The Baptism of Our Lord
We sang at Mass this weekend in the bitter bitter cold (okay, Northerners...eye roll on 3---1, 2, all together now: 3). It was cold for us, though, and we were bundled up in the choir room huddling a bit together for warmth while the heat came on in the choir room.
January is always a tricky time for us. We've put all our effort into Christmas Masses, and are just coming off of the last break we will have until May, and so, with the one rehearsal, we try to remember all we learned last Fall and apply it to the two anthems of the day. Helen has a plan for the Juniors---they sing in Unison a simple song at Offertory and Communion in January...I had a more ambitious plan: sing the challenge piece for the year at Offertory in JANUARY.
That went about as well as it could, under those circumstances.

At Mass, we were much warmer and there was no more shivering. The psalmist was Claire, and she did a very good job with her psalm she had to learn in six days:
