Open Music Practice @ Holy Cross
May 7, 7-8:30pm @ Holy Cross for Open Music Practice
CCSB is currently recruiting for basses, tenors, and altos for our ensembles. If you love to make music and have some time to give, come check us out at our May 7th open music practice. From 7pm to 8:30 pm in Holy Cross, drop in to sing along with us with no pressure to commit to regular participation. Then, stick around for our regular monthly social following practice – every first Tuesday we walk to Outpost as a group for beverages and snacks!
Following this if you are interested in regularly participating with music ministry, we would love to have you! Volunteer commitment to music ministry can be flexible based on your schedule - you are encouraged to join even if you are not able to be present every single weekend; we'd still love to have you and your talent!
Interested in the open practice? RSVP to Ashley at ashley.powers@archbalt.org.

Film Club: Ben Hur (1959) @ Holy Cross Hall
Epic drama about an aristocratic Jew living in Judaea who incurs the wrath of a childhood friend, now a Roman tribune. Although forced into slavery on a galley and compelled to witness the cruel persecution of his family, he survives, harbouring dreams of vengeance. A battle at sea and a chariot race are among the memorable sequences. The film used 300 sets at Rome's Cinecitta Studios and won a record 11 Oscars.

Time to get those reps in. We'll do batting practice, go over the rules, and do a scrimmage. Bring your glove and get ready to play softball! This event is weather permitting - reply to johnklimacek@gmail.com if you plan to attend so we can alert you to any weather changes.
MOMS: Buggies to Breakfast!
We wanted to try a daytime opportunity, figuring a Friday morning could work for mamas with more flexible schedules and/or for SAHMs, and what better chance to try out the new THB opening in McHenry Row?! Meet at 9am at Good Counsel, and we'll walk to THB. Bring the kids in their buggy (aka stroller -- or wear them, or whatever), or just come by yourself for some great mom talk. I already know there will be at least one mama coming with her baby and one mama coming by herself, so either way is great!
