ST TIM’S YOUTH ON MISSION | JUNE 25-30

VERAM VITAM: YOUTH MISSION TRIP On Sunday, June 25, St. Tim’s youth are heading to the mountains to serve in Christ’s name this summer. The Valle Crucis Conference Center and Holy Cross Episcopal Church will serve as our place of rest and worship while we spend our days serving and working hard in local non-profit agencies. The youth will be assisting with home repairs with the Watauga Project on Aging and helping out around Hospitality House (a local homeless outreach ministry, garden, food pantry, clothing closet, and more). We’ll eat well at Valle Crucis (in their farm-to-table kitchen), practice daily rhythms of prayer and Eucharist, and explore God’s beauty in the mountains. We invite your prayers for our youth, the leaders, and the people they will encounter as we all prepare to join in Christ’s work in the mountains. Please keep the following youth and chaperones in your prayers this week. YOUTH: Micah Bryant, Becca Connolly, Trey Connolly, Katherine Craig, Michael Farrell, Jeyaraj Keeley, Katie Lee, Ella McFerrin, Abby Rice, Troy Skelton, Will Stebbins, and Ben White, CHAPERONES: Christin Barnhardt, Katie Bryant, Robert Matthews, Steve Rice, Lea Thullbery, and Quinn Whitaker

SUNDAY, JUNE 25 Today’s organ prelude is “Antienne dans le mode Phrygien ecclésiastique” ( in the Phrygian church mode) by Eugène Gigout (1844-1925). Gigout was a French organist and a composer, mostly of music for his own instrument. A pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns, he served as the organist of Saint-Augustin Church in Paris for 62 years. Today’s anthem is Felix Mendelssohn’s “Cast thy burden upon the Lord” from his oratorio Elijah. The work premiered in 1846 at the Birmingham Festival, and it depicts events in the life of the prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Here is Robert Cottrill’s explanation for the context of today’s anthem: “In Elijah’s day, Israel was ruled by the idolatrous King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. The latter, in particular, was responsible for leading the nation into Baal worship. Elijah’s confrontation on Mount Carmel with four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal is one of the most dramatic scenes in all of Scripture (I Kgs. 18:17-40), and Mendelssohn’s surpassing skill as a composer gives it an effective musical setting of exhilarating power. Elijah’s appeal to the Lord on that occasion is taken right from the passage: “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word” (I Kgs. 18:36). According to inspired Scripture, Elijah spoke those words. But what comes next is not from the passage itself. As though to encourage Elijah, who stood alone in the conflict, a quartet of voices, representing angels, sings the quietly beautiful song “Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord,” based on Psalm 55:22 and Psalm 16:8.” Here is the anthem’s text:

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He never will suffer the righteous to fall; He is at thy right hand. Thy mercy, Lord, is great and far above the heav’ns; Let none be made ashamed that wait upon Thee.

SUNDAY, JULY 2 Today we welcome Marya Fancey back to the organ bench. The organ prelude is “Air,” the third movement from Suite for Organ by Florence Price (1887–1953). The organ postlude is “Herr Gott, nun sei gepreiset” (BWV 601) by J.S. Bach. “Herr Gott, nun sei gepreiset” is a setting from the Orgelbüchlein, a collection of chorale preludes (like hymn-tune preludes) which Bach composed to serve as models for a church organist. The text translation for this chorale is: Lord God, now be glorified. We give joyous thanks that you show us grace and have given us food and drink, so that we might know Your mercy, and to strengthen our faith that you are our God. Today’s choral anthem is “Since by man came death” from Messiah by G.F. Handel (1685-1759). The text for the chorus “Since by man came death” comes from 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 which juxtaposes death and resurrection. Here is the text for the anthem: Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

To set the juxtaposition of death and resurrection musically, Handel used a slow a cappella phrase with lots of harmonic tension to represent death and an abrupt shift to a jubilant allegro to represent resurrection. Who Can Receive Communion? All who have been baptized with water and in the Name of the Holy Trinity may receive communion. St Paul and the Prayer Book instruct us to receive communion prepared, that is, in love and charity with our neighbors and having confessed our sins. This is why we have both the confession and the passing of the peace before communion. Please take both seriously. If you have not received the Sacrament of or are not prepared, you are invited to come to the rail for a blessing. Please come to Fr. Steve’s side to receive a blessing. Receiving the Host: There are two ways to receive the host. The first is on the tongue. Stick out your tongue (all the way) and the priest or Eucharistic Minister will place the host on your tongue. The second is to extend your hands, usually the right over the left, and receive the host in your palm and then bring the palm to your mouth. Do not take the host, receive it. It is Christ’s Gift of Himself. Receiving the : This has been the most controversial bit, and it need not be. The best way to receive the chalice is to drink from it. Help the Eucharistic Minister in leading the chalice to your lips. If you are ill, please do not drink from the chalice. The other way is through . Our preference for true intinction is for the Eucharistic Minister to take the host from you and dip (intincts) the host in the chalice and place it on your tongue. There is no reason why the Minister’s finger should touch your tongue. Self-intinction (dipping the host yourself) is discouraged for the following reasons: it hinders the symbolism of eating and drinking from one bread and one cup. It hinders the symbolism of receiving. It is also less sanitary. While you may not put your fingers in the chalice, others do. As odd as it may seem, mouths are more sanitary than fingers. The imagery and the science are both in favor of traditional intiction rather than self-intinction. In any event, the Church as always taught that the fullness of Christ’s Sacramental Presence is in both the bread and wine, so if you only receive the host, you receive both Christ’s Body and Blood.

They will also ensure that we have a choir each Sunday this summer while the Adult Choir takes a well-deserved break from weekly rehearsals.

For $250, you may help support a choral scholar so we can continue offering music at the highest level possible.
