CALLING BARNES SINGERS & MUSICIANS!
Our family mass is a time for prayer and praising God. What better way to praise our Lord, than singing together in his name. We are looking for family members to be part of our choir and lead our family in song.
Singers and Musicians wanting to participate in our family Mass during Sunday's picnic please reply to this email. I will send lyrics and music links to familiarize yourself with the songs before the mass. You don't have to be a pro, just blend in and give it a go!
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
With Love,
Jennifer (Jenny) Barnes
We Want to Hear From You
Some of the senior cousins have shared thoughts as to where the reunions might go in the future and feel we have a responsibility to continue the legacy left by our parents. We recognize the challenges we face as the family continues to grow and more members move to different parts of the country. Because of geographical distances, it has become increasingly difficult to host a reunion. Ticket costs, transportation and lodging add to the challenge. Most of us have come to value the time we spend together at our reunions; so many generational friendships have grown amongst us. We feel a discussion is needed regarding the future of the reunion. We have an opportunity to be creative, to see how we might organize and coordinate future reunions. Please use the link below to provide some feedback on the many aspects of this truly unique event. Your feedback will help guide the discussion and we can collect a consensus from the family, even those unable to attend. Thank you for your participation. It is an effort to get you to creatively reflect on who we are and where we go into the future.
If you would like to submit items to be discussed regarding the reunion, please email them to: Jennifer (Jenny) Barnes at princessjenn525@gmail.com
