<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Martha. Meg Hoke here. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your quick reply and interest in us.
Here are more details:</p>

<li class="m_7549836110312357386MsoListParagraph" style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:12pt;COLOR:black;MARGIN-LEFT:0in"><span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt">We usually receive somewhere between $150-$300
depending on how large the congregation is and whether it is one or two
services. Congregations usually consider us as a speaker and a musician
and that often taps into two separate budgets. But we are pretty
reasonable people, so just let us know what you can do.<u></u><u></u></span>

our way home from visiting family, and don’t have friends or family in
Marietta.<u></u><u></u></span>

service with the exception of welcome and business, and any of your specific
rituals such as joys and concerns and offering which are usually better done
by you all. Also, if there are specific ritual songs, it’s better to
have someone who knows them and can lead them. Todd can provide all the
other music.<u></u><u></u></span>

weekend of it if you like. Todd is available for a straight up concert
on the Saturday before. I have no idea why your computer doesn’t
like his website, but you can see some videos of him here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhzVVXqCq10" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr>v=fhzVVXqCq10</a><u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>
