Dear Calvary,
A young boy began the seventh grade at a local Roman Catholic School. He was new to the school and he was nervous. They had religion class on the first day and the teacher asked if anyone could name the four gospel writers. The hands went up and the answers began flying. Moses.....Jesus......Noah......Webster.....The teacher was dismayed. Finally the new boy raised his hand and the teacher called on him. "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John." The teacher was elated. "Where did you learn that?" The boy replied "I learned it in Godly Play at Calvary Church." Children's Sunday School begins this Sunday at 10:15 a.m. We have a wonderful program and even more wonderful adult volunteers. And there is room for everyone.
Sincerely,
Jason

Music News
Calvary
Organ Update
Due to a malfunction of the organ's nearly-90-year-old blower motor (which supplies the necessary winding to make the pipes speak), the instrument has been silenced since September 13. An assessment of the motor has been made, and new replacement parts have been ordered. If things proceed as planned, the organ should be playable again by as early as September 27.
Psalms and Antiphons
The singing of Psalms is a tradition as ancient as the Psalms themselves, and I'm delighted that
Calvary
Church
has a special, long-standing custom of psalm-singing. While we have sung them in various ways over the years, the most common in use now is with Anglican Chant (sung by the choir) with Antiphons (sung by the congregation). The method of Anglican Chant is a tradition that has been utilized for over 400 years, and the chants we use at
Calvary
span virtually its entire history-including some composed within the last few months. While the complexity of the speech-rhythm attached to 4-part chorale texture is rehearsed each week by the choir, the antiphons were very consciously composed with the congregation in mind.
In that light, I would encourage an engaged level of participation by the
10:30
congregation on the psalm antiphons. The expression of the Psalms each week is a vital element of the Ministry of the Word, and the antiphons give the congregation a literal voice in joining the narrative.
As the Clifton Antiphons were composed (for all appointed Sunday and Feast-Day psalms and canticles for the 3-year
RCL
cycle) I examined the appointed Psalm(s) for a given Sunday, and began trying to determine the over-arching theme or idea that is being conveyed. Often that ended up being a literal part of the appointed Psalm itself, but it might be a phrase borrowed from a different Psalm. That relatively brief statement then became the text for the antiphon, and I began the work of composing a short setting of it for unison voices (congregation) and organ. Since the recurring antiphon has to integrate with the specific Anglican Chant I selected for the body of the psalm text, attention to key, character and style were considered during the antiphon's creation.
I relished the opportunity to compose the weekly antiphons during 2012-2015, and am grateful that they could immediately be given life within the context of the
10:30 AM
liturgy.

Sunday, September 20
"If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday." Isaiah 58:10
Hi, friends!
My name is Hannah!
You may have seen my photo in the Chimes a couple weeks ago.
Or maybe in person the last few Sundays!
Either way, I can refresh your memory:
I am joining the Calvary staff this year to work with you, the young adults of Calvary Church, and to be a part of your community!
I'm 23, attended Emory University in Atlanta and, for the local Cincinnati folk, went to Walnut Hills High School. Also, I went to Procter Summer Camp from ages 4-18 and have worked there the last three summers. Currently, I'm living in intentional community at
Brendan's Crossing
in Clifton so I'm just a stone's throw away.
We've got some great events lined up for this fall and I look forward so much to meeting all of you. If you see me on any given Sunday, please say hello if I haven't already done so! You can add me on
Facebook and remember to join our Young Adult Group (YAG) using the button below to get more frequent updates on what is happening in the community! Speaking of which, what you've all been waiting for, Calvary's upcoming young adult events:

Thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you soon!
All the best,
Hannah

G
rant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
