Sept 2: Guest Leading the Community Video Live Hymn Sing

 


Hi folks, 

We have some friends, Paul and Elizabeth Damico-Carper, who have been hosting a nightly live hymnsing and prayer time since the beginning of the pandemic to foster virtual community and support.  The response and following has been so supportive and delightful.  Folks from all over the country watch and singalong.  They also speak of how they look forward to it and it being the highlight of their day.  

We in the midwest have be in pandemic precautions for almost 6 months.  Which is a long time to be producing and sustaining a daily mini-service.  We're glad they are taking time off and inviting other folks to take the reins from time to time.  Music that Makes Community is happy to be hosting Wednesday evenings from now on.  And we're delighted that MMC has invited us to host the Hymn Sing this Wednesday.  Here's the deets...

What:  Community Video Live Hymn Sing 
When:  Wednesday, September 2, 2020, 7 p.m. CDT (UTC-05)
Where:  Live stream from the Community Video Live Hymn Sing Facebook Page 

It's about 15-20 minutes long.  If you miss it, you can watch it in the page's video archive.

We'll be leading one of my songs as it fits the Daily Lectionary text from Luke.  Can you guess which one it might be? 

Here's a little sample of Paul and Elizabeth form last week for you to taste: 

 
We're excited to share in this time and hope you'll join us!

Full Voice Coaching Testimony from Jenny

"I want to acknowledge the powerful the work you are doing with me! During our session yesterday, I noticed a rare depth of exhaustion arising from my tears, and recognized that this is touching a very, very deep place, pre-verbal, a place not accessed by all of the verbal trauma healing work I’ve done. It feels radical, integrative, and catalytic. I’m excited to do more, and deeply grateful. Thank you!"
