Gary is going to be verger with me, so I can set up with him and then be deacon while he minds the shop. N.B. I can’t sing the Great Litany so Gene will have to do it all.

Rasmus Jensen was a Danish Lutheran priest and the first Lutheran cleric in the New World. Little is known about the life of Jensen, not even the parish where he served as pastor. It is known that he was the chaplain aboard an expedition to the new world commissioned by King Christian IV of Norway in 1619. The expedition was made up of two small Danish ships with 64 sailors: Danes, Norwegians and Swedes or Germans. All these countries were Lutheran at the time. The party arrived in Hudson's Bay on July 8 1619, settling at what is now Churchill, Manitoba. Only 3 sailors would survive and return to Denmark, leaving no settlement in the New World. Jensen died on 20 February 1620. He was commemorated by North American Lutherans on this day, but with the revision of liturgical books in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Jensen is no longer commemorated in North America. Following the death of Jensen, the majority of Lutheran missionary activity was concentrated in India and the Virgin Islands, especially Saint Thomas.
Offertory Anthem: Sicut Cervus - Jean de Ockeghem (1410-1497)
Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum,
ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
As the deer longs for running water, so longs my soul for you, O
Lord.
(Psalm 42:
1)
Sunday's Offertory comes from Ockeghem's Missa
pro defunctis, the earliest surviving
polyphonic Requiem mass (that is, this is the oldest Requiem to survive that is
composed in multiple, independent voices, rather than simple
plainchant). Though much of the work is written in dense four part
counterpoint, this movement, the Sequence, is pared down to only two voices,
gently moving in an audible representation of the flowing water longed for in
the Psalm text. Originally written for two treble voices, we are adapting it
for our choir of mixed voices, with the sopranos and tenors singing the top
part, and the altos and basses taking the lower voice.
Communion Hymn: ELW 658: "O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts"
Communion Chant: Salvator Mundi (Taizé round) [same as Ash Wednesday]
Sending Hymn: ELW 666: "What Wondrous Love Is This"
Postlude: "As the deer longs for running water" - Jan Pieterszoon
Sweelinck (1562-1621)
The chorale melody on which this variation
is based, best known to us as Freu Dich Sehr (see ELW #256, "Comfort, Comfort Now My
People"), was also frequently linked with the German text of Psalm 42,
"As the deer longs for running water," as in this work of the Dutch
master Sweelinck.
Property Committee will
gather to work on some projects around the building. All are welcome to pitch
in and help, after coffee hour, Sunday.

Monday, 2-25: Students gather at 6PM
for Games, learning how to make a Pascal Candle, and sharing our Lenten journey
stories.
Michelle Eckert, who is designing the 2008 UniLu Pascal Candle, will join us to
talk about working with wax candle ornamentation and religious symbolism used
on the candles. In addition, we'll touch base with one another to find out how
we're doing on our Lenten journeys.

2-24: 1PM "March of the Falsettos" a
90 minute operetta, at the Rotunda, 4014 Walnut
Project Theater Project, a new West Philadelphia theater group, is thrilled to announce
its inaugural production - William Finn's 1981 award-winning musical,
"March of the Falsettos." A 90-minute operetta, "March of the
Falsettos" is equally dramatic and comic. It's also a unique and
pioneering product of its historical moment, candidly exploring issues from
divorce to gay relationships to childrearing outside the nuclear family model.
The story deals with Marvin, a secular Jewish man who divorces his wife Trina
when he falls in love with another man, Whizzer. Both Marvin and his wife want
their ten-year old son Jason to see a psychiatrist to address the issues raised
by the divorce; the irony is that they bring Jason to Marvin's psychiatrist,
who quickly falls in love with Trina when she drops off her son each week. The
show is set in the year of its original release, 1981, and the company offers
an exciting new interpretation of the set-a peep into the subconscious of anti-hero,
Marvin. First produced over twenty-five years ago, this surrealist, dark and
humorous musical not only was ahead of its time for its complex portrayal of
gay families, parent-child relationships and sexuality, but remains as relevant
and powerful today.
