Songs inspired by the Civil rights movement Inspire Us

As we get closer to our journey together, the songs of the movement resonate more with us. Planning to sing on our journey, hoping to choose one song to anchor our pilgrimage. Wondering if anyone would like to share their favorite and teach it to us? We have been putting together our own list but want to share this link to one on NPR. http://www.npr.org/2013/07/09/199105070/the-mix-songs-inspired-by-the-civil-rights-movement

Dr. Who

Josie is passionate about Dr. Who!

The Meter's Running

Look at the "Fun"draiser you missed on Saturday night! A great night of music, with dancing, thanks to Harry Doss and The Meter's Running. The pilgrims are closing in on their fundraising goal thanks to the support of our parish.

Talentless Show Highlights Many Talents

The talentless show was apparently misnamed; it was a rousing success, a display of many talents. The pilgrims brought us Laffy Taffy jokes, card tricks, and balloon snakes, oh my(thanks to Isabelle, English, Josie, Lauren and Gwyneth)! The display of musical talent was very eclectic. The acts included a selection of tunes on the saxophone and piano by Jim and Holly Mitchell and  classical violin by Elizabeth Eubank. Ida and her mom, Kat sang along with the guitar; Gwyneth and Lauren sang together; Harry Doss brought us the fiddle in its Celtic glory. The ballad of my darling Clementine was sung by Reed + Maureen.  The Fat Cats brought it all home for us with a selection of old and new tunes. And Amos, you had it right, get out and dance, this might be the last act. Thanks to all who joined us for a really fine time and supported our fundraiser for our Montgomery, Alabama trip!

Upcoming Talentless Show

     Next Saturday, January 11 at 6 pm, the pilgrims will be hosting a Talentless Show to expose the true nature of the people of the parish.  There will be refreshments and (hopefully) a good atmosphere.  The pilgrims all say that they hope people will feel welcome to join the show whether as participants or as audience members.
   "We are hoping that people will really expose their talons in this show and that these metaphorical talons will be painted a wide variety of colors," said Gwyneth, the elderly pilgrim.  "We want everyone to feel comfortable exposing skills ranging from balloon-animal-making to classical piano-playing."  This show will feature Maureen's Laffy Taffy jokes and Josie's bubble-blowing, setting the bar high for other performers in the talent show.
    The relaxed environment will promote people to learn new things about their fellow humans and perhaps establish some new relationships.  The wide array of acts will show the differing backgrounds and interests of the participants.
     Admission is $5 for everyone.
