| Music |
|
|
 In this week's Gospel, we hear Jesus instructing
us on how to pray in what we know as "The Lord's Prayer." With
such a significant text, there have been quite a number of solos
and choral anthems written using these powerful words. Our
soloists, Suzanne Carter and Jean-Luc Princivil will give us two
different versions on Sunday. Suzanne will sing the most
well-known, that of Albert Malotte.
 Malotte led an interesting life, composing scores
for Disney shorts in the 30's, writing dozens of songs - including
setting the Scout Oath to music, accompanying silent movies at the
organ, and trying his hand at amateur golfing, piloting and even
boxing-once going in the ring with Jack Dempsey. Malotte was
indeed a colorful character who has given us a musical gem.

The Diocese of Washington is planning a
13-day journey to the Holy Land from Dec. 8-20 under the direction
of Bishop John Bryson Chane and the Rev. Canon John L. Peterson
with local guide and instructor Canon Iyad Qumri. The Rev. Dr. Kurt
Gerhard will be participating. The goal of this trip is education
