Livestream techs As usual, use logo holding slide for in-room as appropriate throughout.

3) All – Down By the Riverside – trad
Steve and Dahlia, I will likely ask you each to say what you would like to lay down by the riverside. Could be “heavy load” or “doubt and worry” or “sword and shield” or “fear and shame” or something else?
Sample – 2nd line, party time
lyric chords
Band vamp during prayer

4) Karen – Opening Statement
Livestream techs – Opening Statement slide

5) All – Down by the Riverside pt 2 finish– trad

6) Karen – Welcomes, Vision, Announcements, cues meet n greet, special mention of weird order (offering, chaplain/prayer contacts, etc)

Livestream techs: Announcements vid only for all; note: run it once only
Then go to live cameras for online; and to logo holding slide for in-room.

8) All – I Let Go I Lay it Down – by me
Olivia would you consider singing this first time solo?
Sample – BUT ours will be faster, very cruise ship let’s dance, with an instrumental, too.
chart

9) Erin and all – Burning Gold – by Christina Perri and Kid Harpoon
Bgv’s, if you have a chance to listen before tomorrow, see if you help on the pre-chorus “I’ve hade enough”
Sample – but ours is a step down in F
chart – I purposely straightened out the bridge a bit (different from recording)
lyric only

10) Talk – Rev. Karen. includes meditation that may need keys underscoring
Livestreamer techs: go to nature pic holding slide

11) Offering – Karen cues the offering
Livestream techs : Offering Prayer slide, then back to nature slide

12) All – I Now Let Go – by Carmen Moshier
I’ll give it a verbal tee-up pointing out that it’s from the old hymnal – Board has asked for more pieces from the old hymnal, so we’re pointing out whenever we use them.
Leslie would you be willing to start the first line alone and we’ll jump in afterwards? (It’s okay to decline, no pressure)
Sample
chart – but ours is a medium swingy jazz waltz this time.

13) Meditation – writing

14) Close – Karen. plz let them know we’ll sing I Release and then go upstairs

15) All – I Release – by Rickie Byars
We’ll do the intro verse all together with lyric slides
Sample
chart
Olivia takes off quickly upstairs and begins playing My Soul Rises Up on guitar, as background for the chaplains and the burning ritual itself
Livestream techs – with lyrics slide, the first time ONLY. Then don’t show them again. The whole point is for them to practice letting go.
Then on last words of the song, go to credit slide, then end livestream.

16) David/Jesse, continue with in-room postlude.
SINGERS head up to the roof patio and join Olivia on My Soul Rises Up.
