Music &
Liturgy
Jacqueline Coale,
soprano, is originally from Biloxi, MS. She graduated in May from
Louisiana State University with her Masters of Music in Vocal
Performance where she studied with Ms. Patricia O’Neill.
She received her Bachelor
of Arts degree from Millsaps College where she studied with Dr. Cheryl
Coker. Last summer Jacqueline attended the University of Miami’s Frost
School of Music summer program in Salzburg, Austria. While there she
participated in their opera scenes program portraying the role of
Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro.
Jacqueline also was a
competition winner of the program and had the opportunity to perform in
recitals in prominent places in Salzburg. She is both a regional and
state NATS winner as well as a MTNA competition winner.
Children's Choir
will resume on
Wednesday, September 8th
Adult Choir will resume on
Wednesday, August 18th
Once a month from June through All Saints' Day, we're inviting musicians who
are either native Mississippians or have strong Mississippi connections to
present recitals at All Saints'. We are also trying to balance seasoned
performers with younger musicians. These recitals will immediately follow a
short evensong service.
On June 13th, we'll have Michael Boyd, a classical guitarist who is
currently a professor of music at Jones County Junior College. Dr. Boyd
maintains an active international performing schedule, including recitals in
Spain and Argentina. He has made a number of solo recordings on the Centaur
and Lucid Records labels and made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2006.
On August 15th, we'll have soprano Jacqueline Coale, a Biloxi native who
will finish a master's degree in vocal performance from LSU this spring.
Jacqueline has participated in the Harrower Opera Workshop and has most
recently performed in Salzburg and Vienna, Austria. She completed her
undergraduate studies at Millsaps College.
After June 13th, the choir will be taking a MUCH deserved break for the
summer! Please join me in thanking the choir for all of their hard work. We
will reconvene later this summer and begin singing on Sunday mornings again
in early September.
I'll be attending two exciting conferences this summer that are open to both
professional church musicians and choir members: The Sewanee Church Music
Conference runs Monday, July 12--Sunday, July 18. The Mississippi Conference
on Church Music and Liturgy at Gray Center runs Tuesday, July 20th--Sunday,
July 25th. Both conferences draw faculty from the top of their fields and
offer exciting opportunities to learn new music and network with other
church musicians. If you are interested in attending either one, please see
me for more information!

Three Cups
of Tea: one man’s mission to promote peace….one school at a time.
Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished
Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains. Moved by the inhabitants’
kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is
the story of that promise. During the next ten years he built fifty-five
schools, especially for girls, in the forbidding terrain that gave birth
to the Taliban.
“Here in Pakistan and Afghanistan we drink three cups of tea to do
business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend,
and the third you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to
do anything – even die.” --Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram
Mountains, Pakistan.

Saint
Augustine’s Memory
by Garry Wills
Saint Augustine, the Bishop of Hippo, was a spiritual
philosopher. He examines his life before baptism to his entrance into
holy life and embraces the Trinity. He contemplates this
transition within his treasure store of memory – where identity is
forged. It is the place where we learn, face ourselves, and forge a
relationship with God. Gift of Mary Jo Armstrong.

A Wing and a
Prayer: A Message of Faith and Hope
by Katharine Jefferts-Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal
Church, USA
A collection of micro-sermons grouped thematically around issues
like social justice, the deep love of God, the need for interfaith
understanding, and the responsibility of all baptized persons to
participate in lay ministry. Jefferts-Schori speaks from an Episcopalian
perspective, but also draws on Orthodox, Catholic and other Protestant
traditions, making this a thoughtful resource for many different
Christian denominations. (Shelved 252/Sch)

Jesus: A
Gospel
By Henri Nouwen
This book was edited with an introduction by Michael O’Laughlin,
with illustrations by Rembrandt. Henri Nouwen had a unique ability to
find a new, deeper meaning in the Gospel and open the hearts of his
readers to its message about Jesus and about themselves. He had a way of
making the gospel come alive for his students, creating a sense of
spiritual community. Nouwen had marched with Martin Luther King, spent
months in the silence of a Cistercian monastery, and done missionary
work in South America. He spoke in simple terms, speaking to the heart
and focused what he had to say on Jesus.

Theodore Roosevelt:
Nine Reasons for Going to Church
(From a pamphlet published
in 1909)
|
1.) A churchless
community, where people have abandoned, scoffed at or ignored their
religious needs, is a community on the rapid down-grade.
2.) Church work and
church attendance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling some
responsibility for others.
3.) There are enough
holidays for most of us. Therefore, on Sundays, go to church.
4.) Yes, I know all
the excuses. I know that one can worship the Creator in a grove of
trees, or by a running brook, or in one’s own home, just as well as in a
church. But I also know as a matter of cold fact that the average person
does not thus worship.
5.) One may not hear a
good sermon at church. One will hear a sermon by a good man who, with
his good wife, is engaged all week in making hard lives a little easier.
6.) One will listen to
and take part in reading some beautiful passages from the Bible. If a
person is not familiar with the Bible he has suffered a loss.
7.) One will take part
in singing some good hymns.
8.) One will meet and
nod or speak to good, quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a
little more charitable toward all the world, even toward those
excessively foolish young persons who regard church-going as a soft
performance.
9.) I advocate a
person’s joining in church work for the sake of showing his faith by his
works.
