This Sunday: Johann Sebastian Bach
Cantata Vergnügte Ruh beliebte Seelenlust
|
|
Johann Sebastian Bach composed this church cantata Vergnügte Ruh beliebte Seelenlust (translation: "Delightful rest, beloved pleasure of the soul") for the sixth Sunday after Trinity. It is a solo cantata first performed in 1726. We are offering the three arias accompanied by a string quartet, flute and organ.
"Death as a release from the chaos of the world and the true communion at last with God. Since we have had so much loss in our country and our world, I find Bach's sentiments prevalent now. Most wonderful is this gorgeous music he has left with us in which to immerse ourselves. The flute and strings evoke a feeling of peace and contentment, and the voice adds a yearning for this peace which one can only find with God."
--Jacque Zander-Wall

Meghan Holland Violin 1
Nicole Maniaci, Violin 2
Erin Roland, Viola
Lisa Donald, Cello

Women’s Ministry PICNIC (Partners in Christ/Neighbors in Community) |
|
Women from around the diocese will be gathering in small groups at homes or parish halls to be part of a Zoom Picnic. We are hoping that women from parishes that haven’t been able to participate via Zoom over the past year, can now get together to be part of the broader community of Women in the Diocese of the Rio Grande. This will be happening on July 24 at 10:00 a.m.
Each small group will join the main Women's Ministry Zoom gathering (link will be sent prior to the event).
We’ll enjoy the fellowship across the miles of our diocese, play a game or two, make candle S’mores, and other fun, and talk about how we are really Partners in Christ, Neighbors in Community.
Register by contacting Cindy Davis (via email) or by phone 505-379-7327, by the end of this weekend to receive a "basket" of goodies for the event.
