World Premiere at St. Mark's Easter Sunday
Easter music at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church will feature the world premiere of a choral work by local composer, Jay Vosk. The piece, "Rise Up My Love," is based on a text from the Song of Songs and is scored for women's chorus, violin, and piano. St. Mark's women's ensemble, Ilona Vukovic Gay (violin), and David Gay (piano), will perform the piece. The prelude to the service will be music for brass quartet and organ by Gabrielli and Mendelssohn. The quartet consists of Chris Moller and Scott Driesbach trumpets), Michael Coffey (trombone), and George Dunscomb euphonium). In addition to the Vosk piece, music during the service will include "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" from Handel's /Messiah/, sung by Kate Selby, and "Christ is Risen" by Kay Lee Scott, sung by the church's adult choir. The service begins at 11:00 a.m. Brass and organ music starts at 10:45. All are welcome!
Overcoming Racism – Where to From Here
St. Mark’s Social Justice Ministry team will meet on Wednesday April 7 at 7 pm in Calvin Hall.
Our intention is to meet at least quarterly to discern where God might be calling our congregation to do justice. At this meeting we will do some community building so you are invited to bring a libation and snack. And we will have some structured conversation around St. Mark’s commitment to overcoming racism. Where is God calling us to work on this issue and how? In addition there will be opportunity to hear from you about other directions that the Spirit may be nudging St. Mark’s. Any and all are invited to come to this meeting whether you have been involved in a social justice ministry before or not. See you then. |
