The Covid-19 pandemic has been challenging in so many ways. Our lives have been turned upside down trying to stay safe. Worship at St Francis’ has been transformed over and over and I don’t know about you but I’ve been noticing how God has given us each other to regularly and continually make a joyful noise in the midst of it all.
Because of the pandemic, the St Francis’ family is needing hymn leaders for the next fourteen Sundays or so. Here’s where I’d love: for you say ‘YES!’ to making that joyful noise after thinking about the following:
As you consider saying ‘YES!!’ hold close one of my favorite poems which contains the following verse:
‘I want to sing in the heavenly chorus
with voices that crack and quaver on the high notes
and sing exuberantly off key.
I want to be always and forever with those who make noise, joyfully.’
I look forward to hearing from you at music@stfranciseureka.com or 314-809-7891. Thank you!
P.S. It’s not too late to tell us your favorite hymn so we’d know that you’d like hearing it in worship!
