This week, I'll be in New York City performing with Paul Winter for his annual Summer Solstice Celebration at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. I wish I could take all of you with me! It's a magical experience as the concert begins in the totally dark cathedral at 4:30 AM with the music seeming to be shaped by the darkness which gradually gives way to the eastern light as it begins to stream through the clerestory windows above the High Altar.

Paul sends his greetings to St. Gregory's and still speaks very fondly of his concert here in January.

I'll return on Saturday and will be in church when Phil Denny, our newest choral section leader, will be the soloist at the 10 AM service. Phil will be singing a collection of older hymns such as It is Well With My Soul, and There is a Fountain. I know you'll join me in welcoming Phil to St. Gregory's!

I'll see you in church! Tim
