Mother’s Day Singing in Church

Last October when we talked to you about this, it seemed like a long way off, and now it is here. Fourth grade is scheduled to sing for the 10:45 service on Sunday, May 9, which is also Mother’s Day. It is also examination day for the eighth grade.
The students are in the process of learning the song. They will then bring it home and teach it to you. We will be scheduling a few practices for those who can make it. Otherwise just come to the classroom on May 9 at about 10:15 and we will run through it together. If you come to another practice, you don’t have to be there till 10:25.
FAQ
1. Do we have to sing in front of church?
No, we sit in the balcony. In fact, we reserve the entire balcony for fourth graders and their families, so you can all sit together. It IS Mother’s Day after all.
2. Do we have to memorize the song?
No, the kids do, but the parents get to use words and music.
3. Which parents can sing?
Whatever parents want to: Mom, Dad, stepmom, stepdad.
4. What if I’m not a good singer?
God loves all singing. But if you are really concerned, you can sing very quietly or even lip sync.
Based on your answers to this question last fall, I know there will be enough parents to sing, but I also know that situations can change, so I am asking you again to commit to this. Please return the bottom of this note, indicating your intention to sing or not to sing. Or send Mrs. Johnson an email.

The paper version has a sign sheet at the bottom. Look for it in your Tuesday folder.
