Tomorrow, our parish is holding mass in the church parking lot. The mass itself will be broadcast on the radio (920 AM?) and on Facebook live. Parishioners are asked to come in their vehicles and watch the mass be performed under the porte-cochere (I had to look up the word for a covered driveway entrance) while listening to it on the radio (or perhaps watching the video on their phones). At the end of the mass, those who choose to can queue at a safe distance (and masked) to receive communion by hand.
I'm quite excited and stressed about this as I have been asked to play and sing music during the mass. To my knowledge, this will be my first time on the radio, not to mention performing live. I will also be playing outside (if under a porte-cochere--How does one even pronounce that?) at a time that the forecast calls for a 49 degree temperature and a 35% chance of rain (I played that computer Lemonade Stand game as kid; I know what a 35% chance of rain really means).
Still, I get to sing. Just practicing in preparation has been quite a joyful experience.
Now, I just pray I don't screw it up.
