Youth for Christ Coordinator: Gert Anderson Earlier this week as I was in the grocery store my eyes caught a large display of Organists: seed packets, and I turned aside to look at the lovely flowers and think about Marilyn Mullins my garden. Now mind you, it is still very cold out and the weather man is Mary Anne Carter predicting a nasty storm for the end of the week. At times like these I sometimes think “is it really possible that in a couple of weeks I will be Sexton: enjoying a warm sun and a green earth?” Having been on this earth long Sally Pollard enough I know it is possible, or I would not be browsing over seed packs. Boards and Committees: Moderator – Ned Gow That thought has led me to Easter. And not just because of flowers and Vice-Moderator – Ned Gow bunnies. Those first disciples faced a real impossibility. Jesus had said to them Clerk – Gert Anderson - Pro Tem “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets Treasurer - Wendy Kennedy about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. Asst. Treasurer – Sally Pollard They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.” (Luke 18:31-38) The disciples did not think that Deacons: Chair: Tammy MacDonald could be true. But it did come true. Jesus went to Jerusalem where he initially Gert Anderson received a hero’s welcome. But then he was betrayed. And he was indeed Ned Gow ridiculed, treated with contempt, beaten and crucified. Would anyone think Ceil June rising from the dead was at all possible? Leslie O’Connor Sally Ford Unlike the return of spring after a long, cold winter, rising from the dead is not Mabel Walker Lynne Martin a natural event. It is, in fact, supernatural. Except by the grace and power of Junior Deacon: Jessie MacDonald God, Jesus would not have risen. But the Easter proclamation joyfully shouts “Hallelujah! He is risen. He is risen indeed, Hallelujah!” God has done what Trustees: no one would ever imagine. He came among us, first as a babe. He grew and Chair: Frank Ghi lived among us as a man. He spoke to us of love and mercy. He died on a Ruth Adotte cross for our sin. And he has overcome death to bring us life. For that we can Sharon Milukas Fred Ruggles praise God! For that we can shout and sing! In that we can believe and trust Glenn Rogers and hope in the true life that is ours in Christ.

The Church Office, The Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry, The Children’s Clothing Exchange and The Baby Boutique all follow the direction of the Region One School District regarding closing due to inclement weather. If the Region One School District has a delayed opening of school, or cancels school, the Pilgrim House will also be closed. TRUSTEES REPORT Members of the Board of Trustees met Monday evening, March 21, at 7:00. There was a review of the minutes and financial report. Both were unanimously accepted. Frank Ghi updated the Board regarding the sale of Pilgrim House. There has been no action except for an inspection of the roof by a potential buyer. The Secretary has a new computer due to the theft of the old one. There was a discussion about the need to routinely backup the files. Various backup methods are available and we will look into each one before making a decision. Job description and performance review forms were discussed and suggestions were made. Both forms need to be updated. Josh MacDonald, the newest member of the Board, gave a presentation of security cameras that might be utilized at Pilgrim House. Further research is needed in order to make sure we install one that would be most appropriate for our needs. It was noted that the floor where the furnaces are located at the church is wet and the dehumidifiers are constantly running. The sump pump is working well, but the hoses will have to be extended further away from the building. Hopefully this will disperse the water so that the areas travelled on the outside of the building won’t be constantly wet or icy. Respectfully submitted, Ruth Adotte The Spire 4 DEACONS REPORT The deacons have been busy planning this year’s Lenten worship services. We are looking forward the Holy Week, and are in the process of updating the member list. We celebrated a joyous occasion with a baby blessing at our church on Sunday, March 13th. The Deacon of the month for April will be Tammy MacDonald, assisted by our Junior Deacon, Jessie MacDonald. Respectfully submitted, Michele Bosworth for Tammy MacDonald SEARCH COMMITTEE The Search Committee is interviewing ministerial candidates weekly, weather permitting. We have been spiritually uplifted by the process. Candidates include people who have either served in ministry for a long time, or have found themselves called into ministry in their middle years. Their backgrounds are varied and fascinating and we learn something about ourselves, as well as about the candidate, with each conversation. The choice of a settled pastor cannot be a hasty one. We thank you for your patience as we go through this time of discernment and prayerful reflection. Respectfully submitted: Gert Anderson NCCC Communicating Secretary FISHES & LOAVES FOOD PANTRY We will be collecting donations for Fishes and Loaves on Sunday, April 3rd. Donations for the food pantry are collected on the first Sunday of every month. New hours are Wednesdays, 8am-11am.

  • General Comments
    Specific Comments from AGO Members [Note: Space was provided at the end of the long-range planning surveys for respondents to add comments. We have arranged these anonymous responses in random order by category. Several comments that seemed to fit into multiple categories were divided accordingly. Comments from the surveys of lapsed members and national leaders, included at the end of this document, are not divided by category, but are arranged in roughly the same order by topic. In addition, comments that were specifically directed toward one AGO officer or committee were placed in a separate document (“Comments for Committees”) and forwarded to the appropriate official for action. Comments have been lightly edited for spelling and grammar. — Long-Range Planning Task Force.] General Culture I love my AGO. I donate annually, and I read my TAO cover to cover. I fear that we are too cloistered, and are relevant to ourselves only. We must make the leap to introduce ourselves to the greater outside world as an exciting source of music. We must be kind to the Miss Susies while still insisting on high musicianship. We must not be defined as religion-only oriented, while demanding respect from seminaries. We must not be ashamed of being smart and capable, but also be able “to work and play well with others,” which may mean choking on a sappy anthem from time to time. We have to step up to the plate and forge our new place in this heathen society that does not value culture and education. We must make ourselves irresistible to those who have no trouble resisting us right now.

JOHN SCHWANDT, DM Professor of Music; Director, AOI Fall greetings to all of our faithful Windlines readers and AOI supporters! If anyone wondered about the reduced frequency of our publication, we felt a longer annual newsletter brimming with interesting information might be more pragmatic and beneficial, especially given the increase of our electronic media presence throughout the year. As always, please let us know what you think. Lest any reader perceive the absence of a newsletter during the year means there was little to write about, this lengthy issue will certainly correct any such perception. Our ever-growing AOI family continually inspires me, from our talented students to our dedicated and highly skilled faculty and staff. Regarding the latter, I am pleased to report several outstanding additions to our roster of professionals. Each brings with them superb qualifications, skill, and expertise in their respective areas to the AOI. I would like to highlight the appointment of Clark Wilson as adjunct instructor of theatre organ. Clark’s presence is the capstone of the development of the AOI, as we have added courses in popular and theatrical organ that allow for an emphasis on theatrical organ — we believe it to be a first since the Eastman School trained organists to accompany silent films in their own era.

    THE ROYAL POINCIANA CHAPEL OCTOBER NEWSLETTER ISSUE 21 Rev. Dr. Robert S. Norris, Senior Pastor THE SERMONS WE SING The greatness of God invites a response that moves people beyond mere words. And so, we sing. About music the Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther, wrote: “Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.” Whether it's a cantata; a hymn, an anthem or a doxology, whenever Christians gather to worship God, you'll find Christians singing. We know that singing must matter to God, because Scripture contains more than 500 references to singing, including 50 direct commands to sing to God. On Sunday, October 13th, we began our fall worship series “The Sermons We Sing” with a wonderful and fun old fashion hymn sing led by Lloyd Mims and Stewart Foster. I invite you to give voice to more favorite Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs in the coming weeks. Of these I will be preaching ... October 20 THE PROMISES THAT KEEP US “Standing On The Promises Of God” For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord calls to him. - Acts 2:38 October 27 WHEN THE DRAWBRIDGE GOES UNGUARDED “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. - Psalm 46:7 November 3 All Saints Day - Communion With Renown Guest Organist - Diane Bish! THE SAINTS ABOVE AND AROUND US “For All The Saints Who From Their Labors Rest” November 17 I’VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR GRACE “Amazing Grace” For by grace, you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.
