Two more days of ballet camp and then my time becomes my own again. This morning I had to spend most of my blogging time preparing information for my meeting today with Pastor Jen this morning.
She has mentioned that this fall might be a good time to begin chanting psalms in the liturgy. I wanted to show her the psalter resource that we are already subscribing to (St James Press). I printed up the psalm for this weekend and next so she can get an idea how these settings would work.
Unfortunately I now have little time before I have to eat and zip off to my first ballet class.
Here are the links I have been skipping posting the last few days. I’m limiting my comments on them to save time.
