10 October - Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 23

Sigh. Late again. Backdating. Again.

Better late than never, right?

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

Since UNC was on Fall Break, and the usual pianist went home for the break, I played the 4:00 pm service for Carol Woods, which is organised by Chapel of the Cross. The music list would generally resemble the 8.00 am summer morning Rite I services.

The music list:

Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite I
Prelude: Improvisation on Regent Square
Processional Hymn: 375, Give praise and glory unto God (DU LEBENSBROT HERR JESU CHRIST)
Psalm: Psalm 111 (recited)
Offertory Hymn: 390, Praise the Lord! the Almighty, the King of creation (LOBE DEN HERREN)
Communion Voluntary: Two settings of Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr (F. W. Zachau; J. G. Walther)
Recessional Hymn: 397, Now thank we all our God (NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT)
Postlude: Nun danket alle Gott (G.F. Kaufmann)

I managed to convince the presider du jour (David Frazelle) to use the hymns listed above. Notice the similarity to those I chose for St. Joe's? ;) Even though Chapel of the Cross uses a different set of readings (except for the Gospel reading, which is the same), I thought the above hymns still fit, and I'm glad David agrees with me. It helps that the above hymns were also very familiar to the people as well.

Speaking of which... the people who go to this service are very appreciative of my efforts. So of course, I'll be very happy to step in and play a service whenever they need me.
