Amen.

St. Tim's Women's Summer Book Study
This summer women from St.Tim's (and friends too!) are invited to join in a time of fellowship and discussion around the book, "Present Over Perfect" by Shauna Niequist. This book study grew out of the desire of a few women at St.Tim's who wanted a chance to connect, slow down, and grow together this summer--in a way that was easy to squeeze into our summer schedules. Many of us are members at Peace Haven Pool--so we are meeting at the pool on Wednesday nights 6-7pm. Non-members of the pool are welcome to join us too for $5/person--pool guest fee for Forsyth County residents. Pool address is 420 Hearthside Dr. Kids who can swim are welcomed to come and swim. If others want to start another group at another location--please contact
katie@sttimothys.ws . The book is widely available in stores and online.

This Sunday at
9am, our St Timothy's Brass Ensemble will play some traditional hymns for the prelude and during communion. Thank you to David Bergstone for leading this group of instrumentalists. If you would like to share your musical gifts in mass this summer, please contact me at
christin@sttimothys.ws or
336-406-0134, and we will choose music and set a date.
Sunday’s organ prelude is “Antienne dans le mode Phrygien ecclésiastique” (Antiphon in the Phrygian church mode) by Eugène Gigout (1844-1925). Gigout was a French organist and a composer, mostly of music for his own instrument. A pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns, he served as the organist of Saint-Augustin Church in Paris for 62 years.
Sunday’s anthem is Felix Mendelssohn’s “Cast thy burden upon the Lord” from his oratorio
Elijah. The work premiered in 1846 at the Birmingham Festival, and it depicts events in the life of the prophet Elijah, taken from the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Here is Robert Cottrill’s explanation for the context of today’s anthem: “In Elijah’s day, Israel was ruled by the idolatrous King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. The latter, in particular, was responsible for leading the nation into Baal worship. Elijah’s confrontation on Mount Carmel with four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal is one of the most dramatic scenes in all of Scripture (1 Kings 18:17-40), and Mendelssohn’s surpassing skill as a composer gives it an effective musical setting of exhilarating power.
Elijah’s appeal to the Lord on that occasion is taken right from the passage: “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word” (1 Kings18:36). According to inspired Scripture, Elijah spoke those words. But what comes next is not from the passage itself. As though to encourage Elijah, who stood alone in the conflict, a quartet of voices, representing angels, sings the quietly beautiful song “Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord,” based on Psalm 55:22 and Psalm 16:8.”
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.
He never will suffer the righteous to fall; He is at thy right hand.
Thy mercy, Lord, is great and far above the heav’ns;
Let none be made ashamed that wait upon Thee.
