On August 23 and 30 at 9:15 AM Hunt will lead a conversation on worship with the theme Liturgy & Music: For Strength, Solace, Pardon and Renewal. We'll meet in the Parish Hall.
All summer we've been praying these words in the Eucharistic Prayer before communion: Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. The hope is that when we and others are in need of those, there's a place in the Sunday liturgy to find them. That means, of course, those who have spent their lives in the Episcopal Church and those who find themselves with us for the very first time. Again, this is a conversation for the entire congregation, those who consider themselves "musical" and those who do not. By the way, we're all musical.
