New Small Group Forming

Sunday, April 19 | 11:15 am | Chapel
We’d like to start a new small group for people who are politically on the progressive side and who are genuinely interested in understanding the perspectives and experiences of political conservatives. We’re not looking to debate, change people’s minds, or develop an electoral strategy. Our plan is to meet for thoughtful discussion of podcasts and magazine articles that shed light on conservative viewpoints and the values that underlie them. We plan to have an organizational meeting in the Chapel after Church on April 19. If you are interested in joining, please contact Steve Hastings at aasvh@outlook.com.

Upcoming Events

Episcopal 101

Thursday, April 23 + 30 | 5:30 pm | Chapel
What are the origins of the Episcopal Church? (hint: there’s a lot more to us than Henry VIII’s divorce) What does it mean to be an Episcopalian Christian? How are we related to the worldwide Anglican Communion? What is the history of our congregation? I’ll cover these and other topics, and do my best to answer any of your questions, in these three sessions. If you’re new to St. Andrew’s or the Episcopal church, if you’ve been here awhile but haven’t had the opportunity to explore these questions, or if you’re curious about what we do and why, these sessions are for you. Please RSVP to Fr. Paul at pfrolick@standrewsaa.org.

Caregivers’ Luncheon

Tuesday, May 12 | 12 noon in the Lounge
If you are caring for a spouse, parent, child, or friend, you know both the deep love and the quiet demands that come with that calling. You are warmly invited to join us for a Caregivers’ Luncheon on Tuesday, May 12 at noon in the Lounge. We’ll share a simple meal, time for reflection, and the encouragement that comes from being together with others who understand. Please know you are not alone in this work.

Grail Singers Concert

Sunday, April 26 | St. Andrew’s | 4:00 pm
light eternal: non timebo mala
The Ann Arbor Grail Singers present an unusual program featuring the chanted responses from the Officium Defunctorum (Office of the Dead), Orlando di Lasso’s Missa pro Defunctis, and works by David Lang. A leading composer of the late Renaissance, di Lasso wrote over 500 motets and more than 50 masses, including the 1578 Missa pro Defunctis cum quator vocibus on this program. David Lang’s alleluia amen examines the two words that passed directly from the Hebrew of the Jewish liturgy to the Latin of the Christian Mass. The concert will be directed by Jacob Carroll and accompanied by a consort of viols: Marc Armitano, Jamie Gallupe, David Webster Hunt III, and Lily Schrantz, viola da gamba. For more information or to purchase tickets ($20 General/$15 Seniors/$10 Students), visit AnnArborGrailSingers.org.

Music Notes

Hymn 296: We Know that Christ is raised

This new hymn text links baptism’s rebirth to Easter resurrection, displaying the connection between Christ’s being raised, his gift of new life, and the restoration of the universe to glory. No wonder the hymn celebrates our “blazing joy”! The first two verses tell the good news that Christ has overturned death in resurrection and has brought us new life in baptism. The third verse describes the life and work of each member of the Trinity in novel ways. The last verse moves from the beginning of personal life to the worship of the whole universe in a resounding “Alleluia! Amen!” - Donna Wessel Walker
