With Bulletin For January 22 Service

January 21, 2023

Dear St. Paul’s Parish Family,

  CALLING ALL PARISHIONERS! Please participate in Sunday’s Annual Meeting, in-person if on island or by Zoom if not. By the grace of God and by all of our dedication, we have much to celebrate together, and our bylaws require a quorum - every vote counts for installing our officers and new Vestry members. Christine will be monitoring Zoom so that those remote participants and votes are counted. Please see below for easy Zoom access. If on island, our Hospitality Committee is hosting a festive chili, cornbread and dessert luncheon following the Annual Meeting. Please stay and enjoy some bonus time together!

  St. Paul’s Mission Committee gathers for a retreat tomorrow morning to prayerfully consider where else in our island community and beyond we may most effectively focus our efforts to serve God’s people. To what else is Jesus Christ calling us right now? Our parish’s warm, open-hearted hospitality and our compassionate concern for others wellbeing are traits that mark us as Jesus’s disciples, and those are now more recognized by our island neighbors. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support that make this all possible. See you at church!

Love,

Max

Annual Meeting Lunch

Our Annual Meeting will take place after the service on Sunday, January 22nd, and all parishioners are encouraged to attend. Immediately after the meeting a Chili & Cornbread Lunch will be served in Gardner Hall. The lunch will be provided by the Fellowship Committee.

Pines of Rome (Pini di Roma) is a tone poem in four movements for orchestra by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi (1879-1935). Each movement depicts a setting in the city with pine trees. Pines of Rome had its premiere in 1924 in Rome. The American premiere took place in 1926, during Arturo Toscanini's first concert as conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Toscanini also conducted the piece at his last performance with the orchestra in 1945.

 

The "Maple Leaf Rag" is an early ragtime musical composition for piano composed by Scott Joplin (1868-1917). It was one of Joplin's early works and became the model for ragtime compositions by subsequent composers. It is one of the most famous of all ragtime pieces. As a result, Joplin became dubbed the "King of Ragtime" by his contemporaries. The piece gave Joplin a steady if unspectacular income for the rest of his life. Despite ragtime's decline after Joplin's death in 1917, the "Maple Leaf Rag" continued to be recorded by many well-known artists. The ragtime revival of the 1970s brought it back to mainstream public notice once again.
