spirited & singing: a cappella sunday
http://spiritedandsinging.blogspot.com/2010/07/cappella-sunday.html

Taking a creative route to enliven the musical life of your faith community. Monday, November 22, 2010. Keeping a lid on Christmas. For worship leaders everywhere, keeping a lid on Christmas celebrations can feel like holding back the tide. End of year festivities, summer holiday preparations (in the southern hemisphere), extra worship services and activities close to Christmas day mean self-reflection and spiritual preparation often take a back seat. This year, consider having an A Cappella Sunday.
