Director: OK, you’ve got the psalm refrain there…
[The text is: “Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.”]

Choir member: Couldn’t we slur our words in honor of St. Patrick’s Day?

Storm Panic!
The snow has started here in Boston. I hope everybody was able to stock up on bread, milk, and muffins.
