The texts for evening prayer not only give thanks for natural and practical light, but for the light of Christ that dispels darkness and death forever. Bathed in light, we offer prayer and praise with the psalmist who sings, “let my prayer rise up like incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice” (Ps. 141:2). Another staple of evening prayer is the Magnificat, the Song of Mary found in the Gospel of Luke, a canticle that celebrates the Lord’s incarnation as fulfillment of the salvation promise. All who gather are invited to fully participate in worship. Responses for the assembly are printed in bold typeface. All of the service music is printed in this bulletin.

His previous experience includes public school teaching in Emmetsburg, Iowa, and Shakopee, Minnesota. He is equally effective when working with younger students, older students, and professional musicians. Dr. Doebler holds music education degrees from Luther College (B.A.), Valparaiso University (M.M.), and the University of Minnesota (Ph.D.). He is a native of Palatine, Illinois. On November 3, 2018, Jeffrey Scott Doebler was named a Distinguished Hoosier by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. Professor Doebler’s career of nearly 40 years in music education has achieved a unique balance of conducting, teacher preparation, leadership in the profession, and working with musicians from the beginning through professional levels, but all aspects of his vocation have had an ultimate focus on teaching. Dr. Doebler has been recognized for excellence in teaching by peers, colleagues, and students. He was a quarter-finalist for the Grammy Music Educator Award in THURSDAY, 18 JULY 2019 15 2014, and was the 2005 recipient of the Valparaiso University Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award. Dr. Doebler received the 2008 Carlo A. Sperati Award from Luther College, for outstanding achievement in the field of music. In 2006, he was named Outstanding University Music Educator of the Year by the Indiana Music Education Association, and also received the Chicagoland Outstanding Music Educator Award from Quinlan & Fabish Music. In 2005, he was inducted into Phi Beta Mu, international band conductors fraternity, and Sigma Alpha Iota presented him its national award, Friend of the Arts. In 1999, Dr. Doebler received a First Annual Students’ Choice Teacher of the Year Award from Alpha Phi Omega and Mortar Board. In 2010, the Dunes Moraine District of the LaSalle Council, Boy Scouts of America, honored Dr. Doebler with the Silver Seagull Award, in honor of his many years as Assistant Scoutmaster, Acting Scoutmaster, Webelos Leader, and Den Leader. In 2001, he received the Orpheus Award “for significant and lasting contributions to the cause of music in America,” by the Valparaiso University Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. It is believed that this was the first Orpheus Award bestowed by the VU Chapter in its then 40-year history.
