421 W. Front St Macedonia Lutheran Church, 421 W. Front St., Burlington, is celebrating its 150th Burlington, NC anniversary this year. 336-227-5554 Its 300-plus members began the festivities with a “vintage” service in June using the 1867 liturgy. The congregation threw a birthday party Aug. 14, the date in 1869 of its INSIDE THIS ISSUE recognition by, and reception into, the N.C. Synod.
Message from 150th 1 The church began in 1869 in the area that later became Mayfair Mills, under the Anniversary Committee leadership of Gideon L. Greeson, a teacher in Company Shops. The Synod was Youth Page 2 meeting at that time at Friedens Lutheran Church north of Gibsonville, and Greeson, Augustus Graeber, and Deider Berheim appealed for acceptance of this Olympiad Help Needed 2 group of 39 Lutherans as a new church. At a special session Aug. 14, 1869, at Salem Lutheran Church in Rowan County, the church was received. Council Notes 3 Music at Macedonia 4 & 5 In February 1874, the N.C. Railroad deeded the church 6¾ acres across the tracks. In 1879, the congregation built its first sanctuary, a 36- by 22-foot building. The Care Ministry 6 & 7 congregation turned the building in 1895 to face Front Street, and purchased adjoining property. Christmas Cheer 8 WELCA Fall Gathering 9 Growth spurred planning for a new sanctuary, and in 1909 the congregation moved into the new building, much of which was built by its own members. The first Community Meal 10 Vacation Bible School was held in 1931.
Baby Shower 10 The education building was finished in 1954 and is still in use. All activities moved Oktoberfest 10 there in 1962 as the sanctuary deteriorated.

Council Notes
October 2019
After the 150th birthday party on August 14, it would be hard to imagine that the 150th Committee could top their previous efforts. Well, they did and then some with the Homecoming Celebration on September 22, 2019! Great worship, music, food, fellowship, and reuniting with old friends only means a GREAT Day! Thanks to all who were involved in providing such a memorable event.
Speaking of memorable events, I hope you are planning to attend our final 150th celebration with a performance on October 20 at 5:00 pm. Our Director of Music, Sam Meares has been able to secure a very respected organ and percussion concert. Because of its quality and uniqueness, it is in high demand. I think it took Sam over 3 years to bring this event to Burlington and Macedonia. Because of the important role of music to our congregation, this will be a very fitting way to conclude our 150th celebrations.
During the past year, we have been busy interviewing members that have come to Macedonia over the past 3 years. We were interested in what Macedonia could do to make visitors feel more welcome. While reviews were mostly favorable, the one consistent improvement noted was a visitor’s ability to find their way around our facility. Wayfinding was not clear and hard to navigate between parking and our two buildings. Developing new signage was set as one of the priorities of the Council this year. A signage group, headed by Grover Moore, was given the task. Their finding was presented and approved by Council at our September 12 meeting. Soon you will see new directional signage at the entrances as well as wayfinding signs in the Educational building and Sanctuary. Many thanks to the group for their hard work in this effort.
October is traditional “Budget” month for the Finance Committee and the Council. The work accomplished will be presented at our congregational meeting on November 10, 2019. The proposed budget is a glimpse of the ministry that our congregation will provide in 2020. When you receive a copy later in the month, I hope you will take the time to pray for our congregation. And as you study the budget you will ask “How can I be involved in the ministry proposed, both in terms of talent, time, and treasure? Can I do just a little more?” This congregation has been successful for 150 years because of God’s love and blessing, and the commitment and stewardship of our members. 2020 will be no different.
God Bless, Charlie Harris

ORGANIZED RHYTHM Sunday, October 20, 2019 at 5:00 PM Macedonia Lutheran Church, 421 West Front Street, Burlington, NC Clive Driskill-Smith, Organist Joseph Gramley, Percussionist A Gala Reception follows in Luther Hall
Since the fall of 2004, concert audiences across the United States have been brought to their feet by a pairing of musical personalities as improbable and winning as Organized Rhythm’s combination of the pipe organ and percussion. British organist Clive Driskill-Smith, trained at Eton and Oxford, whose solo performances in England and America have earned him recognition as one of his generation’s star organists, is wry and reserved—until he lets loose an astonishing battery of effects at the keyboard. He’s complemented in Organized Rhythm by the athletic movement of Joseph Gramley, a physically towering Oregon native whose own crowd-pleasing solo concerts and work with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble have made him one of the leading multi-percussionists performing today. This powerful and harmonious duo presents what has been described as “…an exciting two-hour musical adventure, [offering] startling clear insight into what makes a live performance good, and why good live performances are important for us...passion, technical mastery, and precision...two young musicians doing what they clearly love--making music, not just for themselves, but for us as well." (The Granite State News, Wolfeboro NH)
Trumpet and organ: it’s been done before. Flute and organ: it’s been done before. But the “mini-orchestra” pairing of organ and percussion remains a rarity, making Organized Rhythm the only full-time, or at least fully-active, duo of its kind anywhere in the world. The Organized Rhythm duo takes every opportunity to deeply explore the lyrical and powerful tonal aspects of thunderous and dulcet wood and metal organ pipes married to the visceral, arresting, and delicate aspects of a wide array of percussion instruments from around the world through a collection of new works as well as transcriptions of recognizable classical compositions. Their repertoire spans from the music of J.S. Bach and Camille Saint-Saens to that of Aaron Copland and celebrated and innovative 21st century composer Nico Muhly, with the duo’s adaptation of Gustav Holst’s The Planets being their signature, and most frequently requested, performance piece. Listeners to the duo’s first CD recording, Beaming Music, will hear cymbals and drums breaking through the full organ’s sound as satisfyingly as any trumpet, and the duo has found balances in which even the soft bars of the marimba meld seamlessly with the organ’s softest registers. The creative ease that exists between the two – developed not only during travel and concerts, but while finding and shaping repertoire – is instantly evident to anyone watching them rehearse, perform, and now record. The duo’s March/April tour in the U.S. took them to Sarasota, Washington, D.C., Scottsdale, and Eureka, CA and a July 2017 concert invitation took them to Taipei to perform at the National Performing Arts Center.

Clive Driskill-Smith is one of the leading organists of his generation. Hailed as a "star of a new generation" (Evening Standard, London), critics have praised his “blazing technique” and “unbelievable virtuosity” (American Guild of Organists) and described his performances as "intensely moving" and "truly breathtaking" (Organo Pleno, Melbourne). In September 2018, Mr. Driskill-Smith will move to the United States and assume the position of Organist/Choirmaster at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Fort Worth, TX. Prior to his work at All Saints’ Church, he was Professor of Organ at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Organist at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, organ scholar at Winchester Cathedral, and assistant organist at Winchester College. His teachers include David Sanger, Hans Fagius, Guy Bovet, and Marie-Claire Alain, among others. Mr. Driskill-Smith was the 2000 Winner of the Royal College of Organists' Performer of the Year Competition and the Calgary International Organ Competition in 2002. Following his Calgary win, the Calgary Herald praised Mr. Driskill-Smith for the “sheer colour and finesse in every facet of organ playing [and] his mastery of the mechanics of the instrument…elegant and suave in everything”. He regularly performs throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. In the UK he has played at the BBC Proms, the Royal Festival Hall London, Symphony Hall Birmingham, and Bridgewater Hall Manchester. In the United States, he’s performed numerous solo recital tours and has been featured at regional and national conventions of the American Guild of Organists. His most recently-released CD recording on the Herald label, Fiat Lux, received critical acclaim: “the technique is brilliant, the interpretation flawless…a first class recording.” (The Organ, Great Britain).
Called the “Heifetz of the marimba” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Joseph Gramley is associate professor of music and director of percussion studies at the University of Michigan. An invitation from cellist Yo-Yo Ma in 2000 led Gramley to join Yo-Yo Ma's multiple Grammy Award©-winning Silk Road Ensemble. In addition to participating in the group’s extended residencies in cities across the globe, Gramley has toured with Yo-Yo Ma and the Ensemble throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Along the way, Gramley studied percussion styles and instruments from around the globe, collaborating with internationally renowned musicians from India, Iran, China, Japan, Korea, and Central Asia. His dynamic and exciting performances as a soloist have garnered critical acclaim and enthusiasm from emerging composers, percussion aficionados, and first-time concert- goers alike. He is committed to bringing fresh and inventive compositions to a broad public, and each year he commissions and premieres a number of new works. His first solo recording, American Deconstruction, an expert rendition of five milestone works in multi-percussion's huge new modern repertoire, appeared in 2000 and was reissued in 2006. His second CD, Global Percussion, was released in 2005. He has appeared on several top- selling albums with Yo-Yo Ma on the SonyBMG label, and with other members of the Ensemble. In addition to his solo and Silk Road Ensemble performances, Gramley has performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Orchestre de Lyon, The Spoleto Festival, Martha Graham Dance Company, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and New York City Ballet, as well as with with solo musicians Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Dawn Upshaw, Glen Velez, Keiko Abe, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Sandeep Das, and numerous others.

The Health and Wholeness theme for October Is Social and Interpersonal Wellbeing.
by Jayne Tapia for the Health and Wholeness Committee
We were created by God to be social beings. Having close friends and family on whom you can count has far-reaching benefits for your health. A strong social support network can help you through stressful times. Having people who call you a friend reinforces the idea that you are a good person to be around. By caring for others and sharing God’s love you are treating yourself and others well in a healthy way. By reaching out and sharing yourself with others you have the added security of knowing that if you start to show signs of depression or are doing unhealthy things, your friends will alert you to your problem. They will assist you in times of need.
