Engaging the Arts
Cathedral Ensemble in Residence- Cuatro Puntos
|
|
Check out May, June, and July Events! |
|
Cuatro Puntos embarks on a new project with the national organization Do The Write Thing (part of the National Campaign to Stop Violence). Middle school students from around the country tell stories about how violence affects their lives.
Do The Write Thing helps children heal from violence of all types by challenging them to write about it. Each year over 85,000 middle school students across the USA write essays, and 50 make it into a book in the Library of Congress. 8 of these children will read excerpts from their essays, and the musicians will respond. All the music performed is newly written in response to the words written and spoken by these children in grades 7 and 8. This live concert is part of a larger audio album and video campaign to bring to life the stories and voices of these young scholars.
The live concert will be held on Sunday, May 2 at 2pm EST. While nothing beats the energy, community, and dialogue during a live event, by signing up you may also watch the event at any time after it airs.
The musicians will be:
CUATRO PUNTOS ENSEMBLE
Ameen Mokdad - composer and violinist (Baghdad, Iraq)
Kevin Bishop - composer and violist (Connecticut)
Annie Trépanier - violinist (Connecticut)
Aaron Packard - violinist (Massachusetts)
Steve Larson - violist (Connecticut)
Allan Ballinger - cellist (Connecticut)
The adult speakers will be:
Lisa Cone - Do The Write Thing (Washington DC)
Patrick Nickoletti - chair of human development and family studies at the University of Saint Joseph (Connecticut)
The student essay readers will be:
Icahlyn Cornejo - Los Angeles, California
Aina Marzia - El Paso, Texas
Ansleigh Held - Montana
Dante Stone - Miami, Florida
Delilah Penate - Palm Beach County, Florida
Elisha Jackson, Palm Beach Country, Florida
Karla Orozco - Brownsville/Cameron, Texas
All the music was written in April 2021 in response to these student experiences by:
Ameen Mokdad
Kevin Bishop
This project is a collaboration between:
Cuatro Puntos
Do The Write Thing
The Autorino Center for the Arts and Humanities at the University of Saint Joseph

A Message from Deacon Matthews regarding COVID-19 Vaccination Access
COVID -19 Vaccination Update
This week, Governor Ned Lamont announced that the state will continue with an age-based approach to expanding eligibility to the vaccine.
We understand this is a personal decision. This information is shared with the intention of providing pastoral support to you.
A Vaccination time line for age-based eligibility for the next several months is listed below. By laying out a clear timeline for eligibility for the vaccine, the strategy allows everyone in the state, including essential workers and those with chronic conditions, to know when they will be able to schedule an appointment. The planned schedule is as follows:
· March 1, 2021: Expands to age group 55 to 64
· March 22, 2021: Expands to age group 45 to 54
· April 12, 2021: Expands to age group 35 to 44
· May 3, 2021: Expands to age group 16 to 34
When your age group becomes eligible to make appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations. You can do so three ways:
· Call the CT.gov COVID Vaccine Access Line
CT COVID Vaccine Appointment Assist Line at 877-918-2224
Mondays through Fridays from 8am - 8pm
· Schedule through the Vaccine Administration Management System (VAMS)
Vist CT.gov/covidvaccine website. VAMS is the Vaccine Administration Management System – an online scheduling portal that allows individuals with an email address to create an account, log-in, and search for a vaccine clinic near them
· Schedule directly through a participating provider.
Walgreens: Several locations across the state
CDC recommends we continue to follow safe practice guidelines.
Wearing a mask and social distancing.

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
April 24th, 2021
Bushnell Park was busy today with many people enjoying the lovely weather and taking the time to spend outdoors with others. Our steady congregation appreciated the park's beauty and the warmer weather as we gathered in prayer.
Rev. Helena Martin presided over our service this afternoon and nineteen were present for a day of prayer and reflection. Rev. Helena spoke of Jesus as the good shepherd and tied that to Psalm 23. We were led in a breathing prayer to remind us that God is always with us: I shall fear no evil; you are with me.
We gave thanks for our blessings and promise of a healing city. We prayed for victims of gun violence, police misconduct, St. Vincent's volcano, and increasing Covid outbreaks worldwide.
Trinity Episcopal Church, Wethersfield provided bagged lunches for our 43 guests following the service.

The Church by the Pond block will be returning next week.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
