Above: The Christ icon is used on the cover of this year’s EMC Brochure, which is available in the pews, in the narthex, or here. The 18th century Baltic icon (in the Russian tradition) was placed in 1981 on the northwest corner stone pillar near the entrance to the Resurrection Chapel. On this Feast of Dedication, we rededicate ourselves to the heart of our mission: Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today’s Eucharist is “festal” because of the Feast of Dedication, which serves as the launch for the 2012 Every Member Canvass. You’ll notice the red vestments (they are red for our patron saint) as opposed to the normal green vestments which are used during these Sundays after Pentecost. There is also incense during the Offertory. Included during worship are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page. ‚ñ∫Please listen to the Rector’s Weekly Message for more about the Feast of Dedication and the 2012 EMC. Make your pledge online here.

‚ñ∫The Saint Thomas Youth Group invites you to a presentation of their recent trip to the Diocese of Tennessee and their work with the Karen People of All Saints‚Äü Church and Kurios Farm. Please join them today, at 12:45 p.m. in Andrew Hall.

Music Notes: Josef Rheinberger was born in 1837 and died in November 1901. He was one of the most prominent German organists of his time and was renowned for his teaching of composition (holding the post of Professor at the Munich Conservatoire for nearly 35 years). Described by a distinguished contemporary as „unrivalled in skill, refinement and devotion to his subject‟, his prolific output includes concertos, oratorios, chamber music, opera and, amongst his considerable contribution to the organ repertoire, a remarkable 20 sonatas. The Cantus Missae is a setting of the Mass for unaccompanied double choir which combines intricate polyphonic writing with homophonic declamatory gestures, thus creating a characteristically Germanic texture of warmth and richness.
