Clef Notes

Our friend Rob Frankenberry returns this weekend to sing two beautiful solos with the choir: Grieve Not the Holy Spirit of God by T. Tertius Noble, and Panis Angelicus by César Franck. If you’ve heard Rob in the past, you know you won’t want to miss this.

As Sunday is to the week, so Easter is to the year—the great “first day” that gives meaning to all the others. In the same way that each Sunday is a weekly celebration of the Resurrection, Easter is not confined to a single day but unfolds across a full fifty-day season, culminating in Pentecost.

These days are not an afterthought, but an extended feast—one long Alleluia. The Church lingers in the joy of the empty tomb, allowing the mystery of the Resurrection to deepen and take root in our lives. Each Sunday in Easter is, in a sense, a “little Easter,” echoing that first morning when death was overcome and new life began.

Our worship reflects this ongoing celebration. Festive music continues to ring out, carrying the brightness and vitality of Easter forward week by week. Hymns of resurrection, songs of praise, and joyful proclamation remind us that this is not a moment to rush past, but a season to savor.



So we keep singing. We keep rejoicing. We keep proclaiming:

Alleluia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
