Consecration Service - My observations

I asked prayer of several group lists that I am on for this service.  I felt their pray support. What a wonderful show of support from a wide and diverse Christian community, including celebrating the Eucharist.  I even noted members of the mass Choir and congregation singing along with the Cree singers using the phonetics printed in the service booklet.  

About a week ago, I had chatted with Rev. Jean Paul Westin, a close friend of Michael's from the Maritimes.  I asked him if he was coming and he said "No", but when I went over to St. Mary's High School for the reception, there in person was Jean Paul.

I sang in the Men of the Way, the Mass Choir, and St. Alban's Choir and my daughter, Twyla Gange accompanied the Men of the Way with her flute during the Communion number.  She also played along with the organ and violin for the Hymns.
