110th Anniversary!

The liturgy, lunch, and concert were huge successes. Lindsay, my wife, did very well with some very challenging repertoire in the concert ("Let the Bright Seraphim" from Samson by Handel, and Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51 by J.S. Bach). I enjoyed singing my aria from BWV 98. And I've never heard so much wonderful, genuine affirmation from a group of people before!

Using incense during the liturgy, wearing a dalmatic, and chanting the Kyrie from the SBH were bonuses! Of course, some of you may have noticed me frantically trying to re-light the charcoal two minutes before we were to start processing. Oh well. It was burning by the end of the service, at least. We'll be using incense again during Christ the King (November 25), so I'll get another shot at it.

Thanks to you all who put this whole program together. It will be one of my most treasured memories of internship.
