Parking: Today is a Camp AWANA van switchover thing-a-ma-bobber, so the parking lot needs to remain as clear as possible for drop-offs and van unloading. Therefore, park along the periphery of the lot -- as close to Central Ave as possible.
Notes: For a few songs
- "Estoy Bien": Everyone write in the chorus on chord sheets
- "Que Mi Vida": Intro should be a whole verse to refresh memories

Song list: This song list is based on what our attendance list is looking like: definitely not non-Christians, but rather Christians... who have been around our ministries and particularly our music ministry.
I have had the session break down in front of me as I've chosen these and am pulling out songs that that fit themes that go w/ each session.
At the moment, songs are in random order. I'll do that later. Just plugging in songs that could go with theme of session. There will probably be changes / alterations, toss this out, put that in.
There are a few songs that I really thought we could fit in, but might not. I'm trying to keep a nice mix of upbeat and slower songs too... as well as old / new, Eng / Span, etc. Grrr! This is tough!
What interesting element(s) could we include for our concert night / portion this year?
What creative ideas do we have for creating a comfortable atmosph for singing?
Parody / funny songs to start?
Goofy rewrites of a secular song making fun of... something?
