8 February - Fifth Sunday After Epiphany

Here are my usual lists.

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10.30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

Fifth Sunday After Epiphany: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: All Are Welcome (M. Haugen)
Pro: 401, The God of Abraham praise (LEONI)
Gloria: S-278 (W. Mathias)
Psalm: Psalm 147 (Ford, Mode 8)
Seq: 529, In Christ there is no East or West (McKEE)
Off: 423, Immortal, invisible, God only wise (ST. DENIO)
Sanctus: S-128 (W. Mathias)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Agnus Dei: S-165 (W. Mathias)
Communion: Gather Comprehensive 611, On Eagle's Wings (M. Joncas)
Re: 411, O bless the Lord, my soul! (ST THOMAS (Williams))
Postlude: Prelude and Fugue in B-flat Major (attr. Bach)

It was actually my intention to play the Prelude in B-flat Major for prelude and the Fugue for the postlude. However, because we're going to be singing Haugen's "All Are Welcome" as the Opening Hymn next Sunday, I decided to play that several times through as prelude so the people will be able to have it in their ears. Why do this? The central theme of the 193rd convention was “All Are Welcome”. The parishes in the diocese were asked to program Haugen's song at least once this year. So we'll do our parts at both St Joseph's and the Episcopal Centre next Sunday.

Speaking of the Episcopal Centre at Duke University ...
