Bulletins for Sunday, March 12, 2023
Sunday’s 9am and 11am services will feature splendid organ and/or choral works by English composers Herbert Howells (1892-1983), C. Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918), and William Byrd (c. 1540-1623), as well as French organist Jeanne Demessieux (1921-1968).
Yesterday, we had the first meeting of the Lenten book group that is discussing Bishop Emma Ineson’s Failure: What Jesus said about Sin, Mistakes, and Messing Stuff Up. When I started out in parish ministry, there was no internet or email, Google or Facebook. Bp Ineson reminds her readers that, “God may take your sins and misdemeanours and put them in the deepest sea, but anyone with a search engine can fish them out again and serve them to you for breakfast.”
Our special Lenten musical offering this year is a prayer service held each Wednesday in March in the Chancel area, in place of our lay-led Evening Prayer which will resume in April. We will start each Wednesday evening in the Parish Hall with a simple soup-and-bread supper available from 5:30 to 6:00 pm on March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, followed by Holden Evening Prayer at 6:15 pm in the church.
This is the place to view a series of Sunday history forums exploring the roots of the attributes that make this such a special place.
As we return to two separate bulletins for the 9am and 11am services in Lent, our service music also changes for the season. Sundays in Lent will feature settings by two of the most influential African-American Episcopal music leaders working today.
