Dear Friends,

Happy "Hug a Lutheran Day"!

We hope you're getting a chance to enjoy this warm weather, before it changes back to winter in the next couple of hours. Well, it is February- but looking around outside the church today, there are definitely signs of spring peeking through the damp ground.

Tonight: Faith and Film Series: 6PM  I, Robot starring Will Smith.

We will be watching Will Smith act it up in the 2004 screen adaptation of Isaac Asimov's, "I, Robot." From imdb: It's 2035 A.D., where robots are everyday objects and are programmed to live alongside humans. Detective Del Spooner (Smith) is called out to investigate the apparent suicide of the scientist behind these robots, Dr. Alfred Lanning (Cromwell). Spooner suspects that the death might not be a suicide, but the result of one of the robots. All robots are programmed by three laws, but Spooner starts to wonder if a robot can in fact feel emotions, and possibly murder. But if Spooner's suspicions are true, he is going to have a hard time convincing everyone.

Pastor Root is providing the pizza.

Tuesday, Feb. 19, 4PM Bible Study, 5PM Feast Incarnate, 6PM Evening Prayer, 6:30 Church Council

Tomorrow night's church providing the meal is Holy Trinity, Abington. They prepare and drop the food off, so we will be needing extra hands to serve and clean-up afterwards.  At 6:30 our new church council will be meeting for the first time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wednesday, Feb. 20, 6:30PM Mid-week Lenten Worship & Soup Supper

Nourishing the Soul: A Journey of Christian Discipleship

"Prayer requires education, training, reflection, and contemplation. It is not enough to join others; it is necessary to build a sanctuary within, brick by brick, instants of meditation and moments of devotion." Abraham Joshua Heschel

The evening will begin with soup served at 6:30PM.  This year the meal will be served in Holy Silence. After the meal, we will move into the sanctuary for brief readings from:

        Wishful Thinking by Frederick Buechner
         Everyday Simplicity: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Growth by Robert Wicks
        The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
        Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

followed by celebration of eucharist.

Note: we are looking for soup chefs for 3-5 and 3-12, if you have a favorite vegetarian soup you'd like to prepare.

Thursday, Feb. 21: 10 past noon Mid-day Eucharist Commemorating Rasmus Jensen, pastor.

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 Church­Missouri 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.

Great Litany: Hymn #238
 
Psalm 95
[]
Come, let us sing the LORD;
let us shout for joy to the rock of òur salvation.
Let us come before God's presence wìth thanksgiving
and raise a loud shout to the Lòrd with psalms.
For you, LORD, àre a great God,
and a great ruler a- bòve all gods.
In your hand are the caverns òf the earth;
the heights of the hills are àlso yours.
The sea is yours, fòr you made it,
and your hands have mold -èd the dry land.
Come, let us worship ànd bow down,
            let us kneel before the LÒRD our maker.  
 
ANTIPHON
 
For the LORD is our God, and we are the people of God's pasture and the sheep òf God's hand.
Oh, that today you would hèar God's voice!
"Harden nòt your hearts,
            as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah ìn the desert.
There your ancestors tèsted me,
they put me to the test, though they had sèen my works.
Forty years I loathed that gener- àtion, saying,
            'The heart of this people goes astray; they do not knòw my ways.'
Indeed I swore ìn my anger,
'They shall never come tò my rest.'"  
 
ANTIPHON
           
Hymn of the Day: ELW 331: “As the Deer Runs to the River”
 
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 set­a 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.

The 1 o'clock show at the Rotunda will be followed by a talk/dialogue, "Thinking about Jews and Gay Families," led by Rebecca Alpert, professor of religion and women's studies at Temple.

Persons interested in walking over to the Rotunda after church should contact me in the office.

(there are other performance times, Feb 18th is a cabaret-style show at 10pm at The Balcony (in the Trocadero), followed by an 80s Dance Party 12-2am; Feb 22nd is at 8pm at the Rotunda; Feb 23rd is at 8pm at the Rotunda)

1pm at the Rotunda and will be followed by a talk/dialogue, "Thinking about Jews and Gay Families," led by Rebecca Alpert, professor of religion and women's studies at Temple.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now through 2-24 "Breaking the Silence" Israeli veterans speak out 

"Breaking the Silence is an organization of veteran Israeli soldiers that collects testimonies of soldiers who served in the Occupied Territories during the Second Intifadah. Soldiers who serve in the Territories are witness to, and participate in military actions, which change them immensely. Cases of abuse towards Palestinians, looting, and destruction of property have been the norm for years, but are still excused as military necessities, or explained as extreme and unique cases. Our testimonies portray a different and grim picture of questionable orders in many areas regarding Palestinian civilians. These demonstrate the depth of corruption, which is spreading in the Israeli military. While this reality, which is known to Israeli soldiers and commanders exists in Israel's back yard, Israeli society continues to turn a blind eye, and to deny that which happens in its name. Discharged soldiers who return to civilian life discover the gap between the reality, which they encountered in the Territories, and the silence which they encounter at home. In order to become a civilian again, soldiers are forced to ignore their past experiences. Breaking the Silence voices the experiences of those soldiers, in order to force Israeli society to address the reality, which it created.

Until today, Breaking the Silence interviewed hundreds of soldiers who served in the territories, and continues interviewing soldiers daily. These interviews are published on this website, in testimonial booklets, through different media outlets, and also through lectures and tours to Hebron. The testimonies are published with minimal editing and with complete confidentiality, in order to protect the soldiers and to encourage them to speak."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We'd like to share some prayer concerns from the greater church community:

In thanksgiving for the efforts of the students to collect for the Souperbowl of Caring, and for those who contributed. Together we raised $321.32 for Manna/the Greater Philadelphia Food Bank and we delivered over 100 items of non-perishable food stuffs to the Food Pantry at Grace Lutheran Church, 36th and Haverford.

For all victims of gun violence everywhere, and especially the Lutheran Campus Ministry at Northern Illinois University and the campus minister there, Diane Dardon, as the community there struggles with the tragic shootings there last week.

For the family and friends of Lawrence King,  an eighth-grader at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, who was shot Tuesday morning in English class. The 14-year-old attacker, among a group of students known to bully and harass King because he sometimes wore makeup and jewelry and told classmates he was gay, has been charged with murder and a hate crime. http://www.myspace.com/rememberinglawrence

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.

Bruce,

 

I’d like to read the Testing of Abraham (Genesis 22), or whatever needs to be read.

Hi Bruce,
 
I don't want a text; I want to know what that wonderful artwork is on your email?!!!  Where did you find it? Who did it? I love it!

Hi Bruce,
Do you need someone to sing the Exultet this year? If not, I would be
pleased to do it.

Paul
