Revised Performance Dates and Question from Terre for us

I emailed this to you all then realized I should have posted it here for ease of  reference. 

I met with Terre this morning and we have these plans in the works, pending your availability. If possible we can sing more than this— this is just once a month. 

DATES

The first 2 dates we already talked about, I think.  My head is in a bit  of a swirl with at the backs and forths that Terre and I did this morning.

Jan 26   Feb 16.  We are singing one song  on each  date.  It's up to us to decide which song will be on which date.  The songs to pick from are:

Drive Your Karma

All Will Be Well

March 30  Adiemus— maybe with drum??

April 20  Yonder Come Day  -  with congregation

May 11   Heart of the Mother— for Mother's Day

THE QUESTION to ponder

Terre wants to know how  UUFC can support She Sings.    Our worship budget has money for 3 outside speakers this year.  She'd like to use the budget for one of the 3 outside speakers to invite someone who  we'd find helpful/ inspiring. etc.  For example, the budget helped pay for Jewelsong to do a service.   She  is thinking along the  lines of her friend who did aramaic chanting— but she's open to ideas.  Pretty cool eh?   If you have ideas, please put on Blog so we can easily keep a list.

1.
We'll sing Kosi R'vaya this Sunday as well as helping lead the congregation in hymn-of-the-month #1015 (aqua hymnal) "I can go on"

Soirée is coming up in February. Stand by for exact date. (Susan W the Soirée was a UU auction item last year - hors-d'œuvres + intimate concert of sorts by She Sings)
