Every Star Shall Sing A Carol

It's looking like Christmas

I'm so glad it snowed today. We've got to get going with our Christmas music.
Last Tuesday, we looked at Every Star Shall Sing a Carol.
You'll get the words to take home with you this coming Tuesday, and we'll learn 2 parts.
We're also singing Imagine, by John Lennon, a special song of peace.
We'll be offering these songs and maybe another-something traditional I think- to the December 16th Sunday service. This time, we will likely be needed throughout the service, but we'll get more details as arrangements are firmed up.
It would be cool if we could use some of our instruments with Imagine. Let's see who brings what on Tuesday. I'll see if we can transpose the chords for everyone : )

Jesus was a cool dude/ We will praise you

This is our Queen stomp. Stomp-stomp-clap! (like We are the Champions)

Here's the whole thing. Sing along to the whole thing in your head so that you get your part in right where it belongs.


Jesus was a cool dude
40 days without food
living his life by the Golden Rule
He's got love on his face
He's full of grace
We're sending his love all over the place
Singing We will, we will praise You


Here are the assigned parts for our stomp:
Please review your line!

Tuesday, October 30th

Today, we had too much fun! Some of us had costumes on and we had lots of treats, and lots of treats means lots of sugar, and lots of sugar means lots of energy!
We sang and danced and made a lot of noise, mostly beautiful musical noise.
Next week we want to go upstairs to rehearse. Don't let me forget!


  • We did the good blood, bad blood warm-up again and also Maybe my mummy will go to Miami and maybe my mummy will not :)
  • We clapped and swooped and liked it, so we'll do the swoop in True Colors when we get to the chorus. 
  • We worked on singing together like a team, or like a choir, with the same level of volume to make one big sound in Waiting Here For You. We stood closer together in a circle and listened to and watched each other so that we blended. It was cool.
  • We did a Pumpkin Carving Rap Prayer! It was silly. 
  • We sang a beautiful song that both Emma and Sharmin requested: Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift. (I'm listening to it right now. Love it.)
  • We sang and danced with Owl City's Good Time.
