"God is gone up with a merry noise!" sings the psalmist in the Episcopal Church's old 1928 Prayer Book. Psalm 47, where this exclamation occurs, is traditionally read each Feast of the Ascension, and its evocation of happy sounds seems a fitting inspiration for the title of the Sunday bulletin inserts in a parish such as ours, where musical tradition and liturgical worship go hand in hand.
The Parish Annual Meeting is this Sunday, January 31, in the Parish Hall after the 11 a.m. service. Highlights of the meeting will be presentations by our contractor and architect and the Parish elections. Eight candidates are running for four seats in the class of 2013. For information on individual candidates click on the January 31st link below.
