Society of Joseph of Arimathea Update
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for the Society of Joseph of Arimathea. I will write more about this ministry in the future but in the meantime I want to provide a quick update. Since the creation of the Society on December 8, 2015 we have had three cases, all different. One was to pay for the cremation for a young boy who died in the hospital. He is now in the custody of his mother. We've had two calls this week. We are doing the funeral and burial this week of a young man whose family doesn't know where to bury him and we have claimed the body of a baby unwanted by the family. As a child of God, the child is wanted by the Church. We will bury the child in the future with a proper funeral. We are currently exploring with the City of Winston-Salem where on our campus we can expand our burial ground. ~ FS+

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Pentecost Vigil
this Saturday will begin with the Service of Light, which includes three lessons, each followed by a psalm. Our new organist, Dr. Mark Ardrey-Graves will play this mass, and we will sing Willan's
Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena, which we will sing for much of the Season After Pentecost. There are many wonderful Pentecost hymns in the 1982 Hymnal, and if you attend both the Vigil and the Feast of Pentecost, you will have the opportunity to sing more of them!
Vigil Hymns:
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, No. 504
Holy Spirit, ever living, No. 511
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, No. 510
Choral Anthem:
Come Down, O Love Divine, Roland Martin
Voluntary:
Master Tallis's Testament,
Herbert Howells
Saturday evening's anthem by Roland Martin is the same text as Sunday's offertory hymn, "
Come Down, O Love Divine." Written by Bianco da Siena, an Italian monk who wrote poems called
laudi spirituali in the fourteenth century, “Discendi, amor santo” was published in collection of his poetry in 1851. This poem is the basis for Richard F. Littledale's English translation "Come Down, O Love Divine" that was published in The People's Hymnal in 1867. Littledale translated four of the original eight stanzas, but most hymnals, including the 1982 Hymnal, omit his third.
The first stanza addresses the Holy Spirit as “O Love divine” and “O Comforter,” asking for His presence in our lives. The middle stanzas ask the Holy Spirit to purge us of all pride and evil passion, and to purify our love and light our path. The final stanza anticipates the greater love for God that will ensue from such purification, and recognizes that, as Paul wrote, “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you” (1 Corinthians
6:19).
Ralph Vaughan Williams's wrote the tune
Down Ampney for this text in the English Hymnal in 1906. It was named after his birthplace, and has been praised as one of the most beautiful hymn tunes ever written.
This Sunday as we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, some of the choristers will join the adult choir at 9am and 11am. The anthem "If Ye Love Me" by Philip Wilby (born 1949) is the same text from John 14 as the Thomas Tallis setting that the choir knows well. Philip Wilby (born 1949) is a Bristish composer more well-know for his compositions for brass bands, but this anthem in particular is absolutely worth hearing.
Pentecost Hymns:
We the Lord's people, No. 51
Come Down, O Love Divine, No. 516
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, No. 504
Breathe on me, breath of God, No. 508
Holy Spirit, ever living, No. 511
Pentecost Voluntaries:
Three Chorale Variations on Veni Creator Spiritus,
Marcel Dupré
Fantasia super Komm Heiliger Geist, BWV 651,
Johann Sebastian Bach
Dr. Mark Ardrey-Graves, organ
Hope to see you for Evensong, Pentecost Vigil,
and Pentecost this week,
Christin
