Opening Hymn 686, “Come, thou fount of every blessing” Nettleton Officiant: Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil. Joel 2:13 Officiant : Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Officiant : Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. Officiant: Lord, open our lips. People: And our mouth shall proclaim your praise. Venite S-34 Plainsong, Tone 4 The people sit.

First Reading:Numbers 21:4-9 speaking against the Lord and against From Mount Hor the Israelites set out you; pray to the Lord to take away the by the way to the Red Sea, to go around serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the land of Edom; but the people the people. And the Lord said to Moses, became impatient on the way.

I went down to the land beneath the earth, * yet you brought up my life from the depths, O God. You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, * and the flood surrounded me; As my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, all your waves and billows passed over me.

Second Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-- by grace you have been saved-- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-- not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. T he Word of the Lord. T he people stand. Canticle L A Song of Christ’s Humility Philippians 2:6-11 Though in the form of God, * Christ Jesus did not cling to equality with God, But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, * and was born in human likeness. Being found in human form, he humbled himself * and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted him * and given him the name above every name, That at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, * in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, * to the glory of God the Father. The Holy Gospel: John 3:14-21 Jesus said, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.” The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The Homily The Rev.

    Annual Meeting February 25-27, 2021 Abstracts Session 1 Music and Racial Identity in the U.S. Church (plenary) Mourning, Judgement, and Resurrection: Christian Imagery in Reconstruction Era Music Thomas Kernan, Roosevelt University In her seminal study on death and mourning in the American Civil War, Drew Gilpin Faust draws on period accounts from diaries, correspondence, sermons, and press coverage in which surviving family members, communities, and much of the nation attempted to understand the profound human toll of the period. Clergy and laity across denominations turned to their theology to find meaning, offer comfort, and reconcile the war’s many seeming paradoxes. However, Christian thought was not limited to mourning. On one hand, long-held claims by religious men and women for slave abolition pivoted to the cause of fraternity and equality for newly freed African Americans. On the other hand, Christian imagery was also used to signify racial difference with white Americans depicted beside crosses—markers of their righteousness—and black Americans depicted without such representation—a demonstration of skepticism about their beliefs. The war’s wake and the period of Reconstruction that followed invited many and varied invocations of Christian identity and beliefs. To examine the experience of Reconstruction through an overtly Christian lens is not new to the scholarly literature. Historians, such as Matthew Harper, Paul Harvey, and Edward J. Blum, have taken up this topic with regards to African Americans, postwar Southerners, and empowered white men, respectively. Moreover, Eric Foner and David W. Blight, consistently center religion in speaking about Reconstruction as a period that aimed to reconcile the Civil War’s unfinished work.

    Welcome ... And thank you for joining us for the Milwaukee Choristers' first-ever celebration of female composers! There is no question that women have been making significant contributions to choral music since the middle ages; however, they have faced many obstacles as composers and performers throughout history and their achievements have gone largely overlooked. Tonight's program, crafted by Dr. James B. Kinchen, Jr., features some of the most influential female composers in Western music—as well as some of the Choristers' favorite contemporary female choral composers and arrangers. We invite you to read Dr. Kinchen's program notes (beginning on page 7 to learn more about these fascinating, talented women who broke barriers and made their mark, even if they did not achieve recognition during their lifetimes. Please take note of some important dates for your calendar: • Our next audition for new members will be Wednesday, May 3 at Wauwatosa Avenue United Methodist Church in Wauwatosa. Visit www.milwaukeechoristers.org for audition details and helpful information. • The Choristers will join Dr. Kinchen’s UW-Parkside choirs and the UW-Parkside orchestra in a performance of Johannes Brahms' immortal A German Requiem on Saturday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 30 at 3:30 p.m. at UW-Parkside Frances Bedford Concert Hall (900 Wood Rd., Kenosha).
