[Choir] Update to: participation in Music Sunday

[Donia Prince]

Hello again!

There's been some continued discussion about exactly how we'll use Place in
the Choir in the service, but we did find a recording that matches the
music we have--don't want anyone to spend time figuring out the
differences!  Here it is:
https://soundcloud.com/cypress-choral-music/a-place-in-the-choir.

For clarity, if we do manage to get a decent looking video recording of the
choir singing along with the song to use in the service, we would only
*hear* the soundcloud recording (not us) but *see* the choir singing along.

So again, if you are game to participate in something of an experiment,
join in at 7:30 Thursday.  We'll at least have some fun singing this song
and maybe come up with something for Music Sunday that will allow the choir
to be seen!

I'll send the zoom link out on Thursday.
