Stitched with Love is a wonderful program at Novant Hospital that takes old dresses (prom, wedding, etc.) to be remade into small burial gowns for infants and children. If you have any old dresses or suits you are willing to donate, you can find out more information by clicking
here.
The image to the right is a dress created for Stitched with Love by Kate Hughes. The material came from an old prom dress.

O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

This Sunday, Robert Matthews will play for our
9am and 11am liturgies again. Thank you, Robert! The prelude, an organ duet, is the Rondo from J.C. Bach's Sonata in F major, Op. 18, No. 6.
Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782) was a Classical era composer who is noted for influencing Mozart's concerto style. He was the youngest son of Johann Sebastian Bach and is often referred to as "the London Bach" or "the English Bach" because of his time spent living in London.
Sunday's Postlude is J.S. Bach's Fugue in D minor, BWV 875.
The choir will sing Robert Matthews' arrangement "
King of Glory, King of Peace,"
and
Everett Titcomb's setting of "
I Will Not Leave You Comfortless," which you may hear here. Titcomb (1884-1969) was organist and choirmaster at an Anglo-Catholic church in Boston and taught counterpoint at Boston University. This motet is Renaissance-like in style and incorporates the Gregorian sequence for Pentecost "Veni creator spiritus" (Come, Holy Spirit).
I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you yet again: Alleluia. And your heart shall be joyful. Alleluia. - Text from John
14:18,
