Rev. Peter Connolly preaching Francis of Assisi has long been honored as an Italian mystic, lover of animals and nature, and founder of the Franciscans. Today, we'll talk about his response to a call to poverty after having been brought up in privilege. Erik Lindgren will provide the Prelude, Offertory and Postlude this morning. A Musical Offering will be provided by Ed Priest.
The Chalice Choir will present portions of “Requiem” composed by John Rutter, one of the top living composers of our time.
Rev. Peter Connolly preaching Few people today realize that Mother's Day was started as a liturgical celebration over one hundred years ago. Today, in that tradition, we will take time to honor the mothers who nurtured us and helped form who we have become. All of today’s music will be provided by Bet Giddings, piano and vocals.
In celebration of Music Sunday, the Chalice Choir has taken on the challenge of Requiem, a multi-movement masterwork by John Rutter. Rutter, born in London in 1945, is one of the most prolific choral composers of our time. The Chalice Choir will be accompanied by Ruth Iampietro, Nancy Kidd, and Patty Simon. Special singers include Rev. Sarah Person and Kate Melchior. Spoken words will reflect the joys and challenges of life in this beloved community: supporting one another through tough times, celebrating happy moments, and reaching for eternal, all-embracing love.
Rev. Peter Connolly preaching On this day which has been set aside to honor those who died for their country, we will lift up those whose lives we wish to be remembered and ask the question, "What would you be willing to die for?". Special music will be provided by Ed Priest.
