Church Bulletin (Blog edition) First Sunday after Easter

Church Bulletin (Blog edition)

Visitors – Welcome!

Peace and joy in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Please advise us of your visit and ask for a “First Time Visitor Bulletin” which briefly explains the communion service.  Please join our church family in the Parish Hall after the service for fellowship, drinks, and food.

Holy Communion:

If you have been confirmed by a Bishop in Apostolic Succession, you are invited to receive the Blessed Sacrament.  If not, but are a Baptized Christian, please come to the Altar Rail for a blessing (simply cross your arms over your chest when the Celebrant approaches.)  If you have questions, please speak to the clergy.

Nursery:

Available for children 5 years and under during the 10:30am service.

We have a second room available for 6 & 7 year olds who will stay in the Church for the first part of the service.  All Children will be brought into church for a blessing during communion.

YARD SALE

The Annual Yard Sale held at St. Michaels will take place on June 1 from 8AM to 12 noon!  Previously, another date was circulating in error.

This sale requires a lot of preparation and work!  Hopefully, many of you will sign up at the back of the parish hall and offer to help. After sign up, you can recruit a team for help in sorting, pricing and selling.

This year we are breaking up the sale into categories such as; toys, garden, electronics, plants, household, jewelry, books, furniture, tools and Christmas. We do not want any clothes, but linens are OK!

I would like the volunteer to be present and in charge of the category you selected on the sale day!  Men are particularly encouraged (pretty please) to help with the tools and electronics. Sometimes we get some strange or heavier items and need help!

Items are now allowed to be brought into the parish hall.  Remaining unsold items will be picked up by the Kidney Foundation.

We will have donuts and coffee available for the workers.

Any help will be appreciated!!

Thank you in advance for helping us out!!  It is for our church1!  Any questions please call.

MUSIC NOTES

Prelude       Christ lag in Todesbanden                                                          J. S. Bach

Martin Luther wrote his Easter hymn “Christ lay in the bonds of death,” published in 1524, stating in a direct manner what our reaction should be to what Christ did for all of us by his death and resurrection. About 200 years later, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) expressed the joy of this hymn with the movement of the hands and feet under the melody.

Introit

(I Peter 2:2a) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word. (Psalm 81:8) Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto Me. (Psalm 81:1) Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

Offertory

(Matthew 28:2b) The angel of the Lord descended from heaven, (Matthew 28:5b) and said unto the women, (Matthew 28:6a) He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Hallelujah.

Now the Green Blade Riseth                                            Edward W. Beals

The tune is originally a French carol, Noel Nouvelet. John Macleod Campbell, an English Anglican priest, published his poem in 1928 that compared the resurrection of Christ to wheat and grain that sprouts after lying dormant in the ground. The organ variations was composed by Wisconsin church musician Edward Wesley Beals (b.1933).

Postlude    O filii et filiae                                                                           J. F. Dandrieu

Jean-Francois Dandrieu (c.1682-1739), an organist of the Chapelle Royale and harpsichordist during the time of King Louis XIV in France, composed an elaborate set of variations on Hymn 99, “O Sons and Daughters,” a 15th century French Easter hymn.

The processional and recessional hymns are 1860’s translations by John Mason Neale of Greek poetry (c.750) by St. John of Damascus, one of the Church Fathers in the Eastern and Western churches.
