Having spent two years socialising on a Friday night with my STETS colleagues, it was a relief to know that socialising on a Friday night in Petit Bossey has taken off as well. Last week three of us sat down in the common room to share some wine and nibbles at the end of our first full week, by the end of the evening, we had been joined by a few others and a few more bottles of wine.
So this week we became a little bit more organised, we shopped for a few extra provisions, ensured everyone knew and provided a few instruments....What a great evening of fellowship, sharing a few bottles of wine and lots of songs, some I knew and some I just sat back and enjoyed in languages unfamiliar to me a few weeks a go, (I still don't understand the language, but I recognise it.)
Again, when I get to my laptop, I'll post just a small video of an accoustic very extended version of a Marvin Gaye song adapted for ecumenical musicians!!
Yet there we all were this morning for a workshop on teaching others new worship songs, fresh and ready to sing some more!
The focus was on different cultures, breaking away from the stuff everyone knows or expects and bringing our own cultures to the worship.
QUESTION, If anyone has any suggestions of worship songs or hymns I could use please let me know. There is nowoint in singing most of our well known hymns because these are used by Anglicnans the world over, I need something new and British, with a fairly simple tune? All suggestions welcome
