Responses: Photini, Rita

Evlogitaria: Rita, Justin, Demetri, Photini

Rita: for the next while, will be working on prepping 2 verses/hymns of the Megalynarion, and one in Greek for the Exaposteilaria

Rebecca: will be working on one or two of the Praises

Kathy: one or two of the Kathisma hymns

If possible, anyone that wants to prepare a particular hymn for next week should speak with Fr. Anthony after the Liturgy to reserve that hymn. Fr. Anthony is happy to meet after Coffee Hour concludes to help practice, and can provide recordings for practice during the week as well.
