2. Kyrie
3. Benedictus
4. Spirit of Life-  # 123 from hymnal.  I will bring copies so we don't have to lug heavy books.

Maybe others such as

76 Trombones

Do Re Mi

Depending on what lyric sheets Sherri makes up and of course , how Bob is feeling.    As Paula mentioned,  be prepared to see a very ill man....

This is such meaningful work we are doing.

Thank you everybody.
