Please remember that their purpose is to enrich our worship of God, and to encourage the participation of the entire congregation. By singing joyfully we form ourselves as people of faith and absolutely become better equipped to serve the kingdom in our day and time. So come and join our choir this Sunday in making a joyful noise. Please note that there is one combined service this Sunday at 10 a.m. with our Fall picnic following.
Sincerely
Jason

IHN Thank You!
Calvary pitched in and made IHN a success last Thursday, September 3. As you can see there were plenty of smiles and lots of happiness. The Food! - lasagne, bread sticks, roasted vegetables, fruit salad, brownies, cookies, and watermelon were all well received and delicious. Calvary had the privilege of introducing two Christ Church members, Barbara and Polly, to the evening host routine and we also put them to work. Maybe they will join us next time. Also from Christ Church, Julietta
provided Spanish lessons to several children.
They said, "Adios" when she left.

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.
