The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

The Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

O God, who hast taught us to keep all thy commandments by loving thee and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to thee with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 9)

Above: Heddal stave church in Notodden, Norway. Of the roughly one or two thousand stave churches built in Norway over the centuries, this is the largest. Why an image of a church in Norway? Because we welcome this morning The Norwegian Girls’ Choir (from Oslo, not from Notodden), whose members sing at the 11am Choral Eucharist.

Included in this Choral Eucharist are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page, where you will also find links to the webcast during and after the service.

‚ñ∫The Rector, who preaches this morning, goes on his annual July vacation this week. He speaks about this in his weekly audio message.
