rehearsals 8/6, 8/13, 8/20

Thanks all who could come last night - we welcomed yet another new member (not entirely new of course as she joined us a bit last year :)  Inge! Imagine! We have NINE members! It's a good thing more people are coming to services now so it won't look out of balance when we get up to sing.

So here's some scoop

• please anyone who can attend service this Sunday look over these hymns beforehand and be ready to sing out strong (and not too wrong :)  - 
• all from the grey hymnal: #'s 1, 83, 108, 192
• #'s 192 and 83 are not both going to be on the list: when SS tried 192 and found it Quite Challenging, Paula said she will suggest 83 be substituted for it instead
• #'s 1 and 108 are for sure (108 is probably in the running for She Sings' personal fave?)
• next week's rehearsal 8/13 will be Elaine-less :( but anyone able and willing is encouraged please to come anyway and we can just dig in on whatever anyone would like to work on - chiefly Solstice material, and "Keep the Fire" will almost certainly be on the list for practice*
• please mark calendars now for the 8/20 rehearsal - we would like please to have everyone at this rehearsal - we will: 
• discuss/review the Covenant plus relevant questions/issues which might be on people's minds
• take stock on digging back in to normal rehearsals and services for fall
• gauge where we are with the Solstice ritual

FYI re blog - everyone is on the list to receive email alerts of new posts. Please let Sherri or me know if you would like to be removed from this list or if you would like also to be on the list to receive email alerts of _comments_ to posts.

*Just had another thought re 8/13 - maybe go over _Kore_? it would be a good chance for newbies to catch up on it.
