A Service of Lessons
and Carols for Advent 2009
An ecumenical choir, conducted by St Paul's organist, William Briggs, sang Palestrina's setting of the Matin Responsory and a David Willcocks arrangement of "Come, thou Redeemer of the earth." St Paul's parishioners John Mielke and Jared Stamm also sang several motets and carols and the congregation joined in the singing of Advent hymns. In addition to the Vicar (not pictured here), participants were the Rev'd Debbie Earthrowl (Methodist), the Rev'd Liam Condon (Roman Catholic), the Rev'd Robert Rose (Presbyterian), the Rev'd Donna Frischknecht (Prebyterian), and the Rev'd Gary Strubel (Episcopal), as well as readers from several of the local parishes. An offering was received to benefit the Salem Food Pantry.
The congregation adjourned to the Rectory for a festive reception following the service.

Organ Historical
Society Convention |
||
|
The newly restored E. & G.G. Hook organ at St. Paul's was
one of the featured organs at the fiftieth anniversary convention of the
Organ Historical Society. Paul Tegels,, of Pacific Lutheran University in
Tacoma, Washington, demonstrated the features of the organ in a 20 minute
recital which he repeated four times in the course of the day. Members of
the society made a generous contribution to the organ restoration fund. |
