Ah... but some days it’s harder than others. When there’s snow in April for example. But really that’s just the tip of the iceberg as they say. Loving it all. Loving ALL the people. All that gets thrown at us. Whew. This is why we need each other so much. Why we all need a “merry band.” To help each other stay loving when Love seems implausible and impossible. #mercy #loveishere #snowday❄️

Look who’s on @theliturgists podcast. Our amazing band mate @heydarren. Check it out. Tell us what you think. Send some ❤️ 💕 💗 Darren’s way. #yay

Here is our prayer for this Tuesday of Holy Week. We’ve been collecting the #prayersofthepeople and this one was a contribution from @teacherreadermom We are grateful for these true and timely words. #prayer #lent #justice #mercy

What is #palmsunday really about? Maybe it’s a day to remember we can be different- we can #resist the gods we worship in our world- power and privilege, greed and violence. We can follow another way. We can stand with and for the marginalized. We can #marchforourlives We can #saytheirnames We can #seekjustice

This image from @feministabulous is incredible. Let the children lead us. #marchforourlives #neveragain #enough #notonemore

Thanks to @teacherreadermom for this photo of us last night in #thewilderness at #firstcongregationalchurch in Glen Ellyn. We loved being there and singing, lamenting, confessing, resisting and walking toward hope together. Thanks to all who joined us. Special thanks to Torri Hamilton for joining us with her beautiful harmonies. #allbelong #repost

Tonight we go into the wilderness. Join us for our wilderness Lenten experience at First Congregational, Glen Ellyn. Wednesday, March 21. 535 Forest Ave. Glen Ellyn. 6:30. .
.
The Many will be leading an evening of music, story and prayer inspired by Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness. It is an opportunity, in this Lenten season, to lament our fears, our sorrows, our aloneness, and to listen for the still, small voice of God who calls to us with love and forgiveness, leading us on the path of hope and holy healing. .
.
.
Food is available at 6:30 pm. Program begins at 7..
Free. .

These are lyrics from our song “Forgive Us” and they say out loud what we often feel - how do we pray in the middle of the world we’re living in right now? What do we pray for?
This got us thinking about prayer and about collecting the prayers of the people during these last days of Lent. So help us write The Prayers of the People. We are gathering prayers for Holy Week and we would love to hear from you. What are your prayers in this Holy season? Maybe it's a lament or longing or a vision of hope. We invite you to write a short prayer of 2 or 3 sentences and post it in the comments. Or post it at this link: http://bit.do/submitprayer
We are collecting these prayers and making them available for you, for your small group or for your church on this site: http://bit.do/prayersofpeople. We know there are some wonderful writers out there. Send us your words. #prayer #prayfortheworld #prayers #allbelong #justice

We've got some sad news to share - Kerry Anne Pritchard, who has been a lead singer in the Many for the last 2 years, has decided to leave the group for personal reasons. We love Kerry so much and so of course we understand and wish her well, but it's also very hard to see her go. Her vulnerability, warmth and enthusiasm, her truth-telling and amazing soul-filled voice will be deeply, deeply missed.
She's written a letter to all of you, which you can read below.

Dear Friends of The Many,

I am writing to let you know that I'm taking an indefinite break from The Many because I need time and space to heal through some things. I say this with sadness because The Many has been a true family to me. They have seen me and loved me unconditionally through so much over the past few years. They are my dear sisters and brothers.
And we've had so many precious times together, especially during travel, when we would talk about anything and everything, share our histories and her-stories. I knew, at all times, that whenever I was with my Many family, that I was loved EXACTLY AS I AM. The harmonies we found in our music resonated through our relationships with each other...such joy and love.

As I fast forward to the present, my relationship and love with The Many is still strong, but I'm finding that I need to move on... If you have heard me sing, you may have heard the heartbreak in my voice. This heartbreak is very real, and to be painfully honest, a lot has to do with my relationship with the church.
The Many, Lenora, Gary, Hannah, Leslie, Darren...and all the rest of The Many too...inspire me daily with who they are and their dedication to sharing their music of peace and justice and love for all people. I wept when I knew it was time for me to move on, and their full hearted support of me and my healing only cemented the fact that they were filled with true love. My heart is overwhelmed.

Hope to see you around and I will be cheering for my Many family as they continue to share the message that we all belong, we are all beloved, and that we are all on this earth to love.
All my love, Kerry
