A few weeks ago, I set up our portable recording system and spent some time recording our rehearsal. I got a pretty good take of "Blessed Be Your Name" and I mixed it down in GarageBand. I added a couple of instruments (bass and electric guitar), but everything else is a live take. Very fun.
Have a listen. Blessed Be Your Name

7. Electrical work 8. Replace carpet in faculty lounge with tiles. 9. Landscaping.
Please announce these needs to your congregation this Sunday, Feb.24, if possible, and on Sunday March 2. Ask that people who have skills appropriate to these tasks commit to being project leaders and send their names and contact information to Tom Patitucci by March 3. If you have other means of communicating these needs to your people (email, through small groups etc.) please use those as well.
Thank you for your participation in what we pray will be a “Beautiful Day” of service to our community in the Name and Power of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Holy Week Schedule
This year, Easter is extra early. Actually, it's about as early as it can possibly be. Julie Gibson, the Director of Worship and Music at Saint Matthew wrote an interesting article for our newsletter about how the date of Easter is determined.
Julie writes, "Easter could occur as early as March 22nd, but that hasn’t happened since 1818 and won’t happen again until 2285. And the last time Easter fell on March 23rd was in 1913. That won’t happen again until 2228. The latest Easter can occur is April 25. Next Year, Easter is on April 12th."
For those of you who are primarily concerned with THIS YEAR'S Easter celebration, the Holy Week Schedule for Saint Matthew is as follows:
