Over the last 3 years, our church has wanted to commemorate those we loved who were lost during the COVID pandemic with a special Service of Remembrance. This service, which will be on November 5th at 3:00 pm, will serve as a memorial for all of those who have died during that time period, and we want it to be one for the entire community of Red Bank, not just our church. Faith leaders from Red Bank and the surrounding area will be here to give meditations about loss and grief, and how through the most difficult times, we can find hope and comfort through our faith in God. Along with this, there will be spoken scripture and readings, as well as sung congregational hymns. At the heart of the service will be movements from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, a multi-movement choral and orchestral piece whose text is the Catholic Mass for the Dead, sung in English. Unlike requiems by other composers, Fauré specifically envisioned his Requiem to be set within the context of a service, and we are excited to present it within its intended liturgical purpose. We hope you can join us for what we think will be a meaningful time of reflection, meditation, & community.
