Below are the 2 pieces of the Easter Vigil Service. I apologize for the delay. There was an interruption during the Facebook Live transmission of the service, resulting in Facebook creating separate files for the broadcast portions before and after the interruption. My family doesn't take videos, so I couldn't justify buying the software that seamlessly could combine the 2 pieces. I spent the past 4 days researching and experimenting with native Mac applications to join the pieces with some success. However, Weebly, the company that hosts our site, uses a proprietary method for uploading files to websites. It frozes during every attempt to upload the file. It also froze during several attempts at uploading these 2 pieces. But it's Thursday morning, I was finally successful at loading the 2 chunks. I hope it was worth the effort to make these available. 😅

The Link: https://mailchi.mp/9fabe5454134/ash-wednesday-service?e=ed78b9badf Due to a forecast of freezing rain, I played it safe and didn’t go to the church to run the recording system. I extracted all the audio tracks from the Facebook Live recording of the 9 AM morning prayer service. The placement of the extended iPhone microphone for the Facebook Live recording in front of one of the sound system has resulted in audio that is much cleaner and adequate for the spoken portions of the service. Music was provided by UCONN student and St. Mark’s scholar Angela Garcia-Clark (singer) and Charles Houmard (piano, organ). Recorded tracks: ● Prelude: Lord God, Open Wide Thy Heaven ● Greeting, Announcements (Rev.
