With Bulletin For August 14 Service

Dear St. Paul’s Church Family,   What an exhilarating, uplifting experience we shared at last evening’s premiere of the Jazz Mass our parish commissioned in memory of beloved parishioner and chorister Nancy Broll! Nancy’s youngest son, Geoff, and her granddaughter, Lily, flew in from their home in the San Francisco Bay area to be in attendance, and they were delighted. Afterward, friends of Nancy’s tearfully reminisced with Geoff about his Mom. Of course, last night was the “dress rehearsal”, and our Jazz Mass is celebrated again tomorrow morning at 9:30. As a gift to your family, friends and neighbors, bring them along. Several attendees asked that we make this an annual event, and I agree.    Parish Music Director, Joe Hammer, is so collaborative, and he and gifted composer and pianist, Tony Nalker, and I had been in regular communication over the past twelve months to bring The Jazz Mass of St. Paul’s Church in Nantucket to fruition. The results are extraordinary, creating a new expression of the familiar words right out of the Book of Common Prayer. As Psalm 98 proclaims, “Sing to the Lord a new song, for the Lord has done marvelous things. With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy before the King, the Lord.”      We will be out in the Memorial Garden for Eucharist too tomorrow morning at 8:00, and on Sundays through fast approaching Labor Day weekend. We will combine then afterwards for a single 9:30 Sunday service until next spring. There was a wonderful article on page 2 of this week’s Inquirer & Mirror about St. Paul’s Suppers. I and so many of our island neighbors are so thankful for St. Paul’s Church’s commitment to multifaceted service to the community and the countless lives we touch from far and wide. Thank you for making that possible! See you at church.

The Great Thanksgiving The Breaking of the Bread                                               At the Communion   God Bless The Child                     Billie Holiday (1915-1959) Them that's got shall have. Them that's not shall lose. So the Bible said and it still is news. Mama may have, Papa may have. But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own. W Yes, the strong get smart while the weak ones fade. Empty pockets don't ever make the grade. Mama may have, Papa may have. But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own. W Money, you've got lots of friends. They're crowding around the door. But when you're gone and spending ends they don't come no more. Rich relations give crusts of bread and such. You can help yourself, but don't take too much. Mama may have, Papa may have. But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own. He just don't worry 'bout nothing, 'cause he's got his own. Postcommunion Prayer (BCP 365)   Blessing    Hymn How Firm A Foundation        Words: George Keith (1638-1716) Tune: Foundation How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent word. What more can He say than to you He hath said. To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled. W Fear not, I am with thee; oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. W When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie my grace all sufficient shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine W The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to its foes that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
