Sermon
"Give Me Also Pools of Water" (Judges 1:15) - Rev. Scott Frazier
This story shows us how to reclaim our lost faith and bring new meaning to our lives. We can often feel burnt out and empty, but by marshalling the resources we do have, the Lord can bring joy and life to us: first to our ideas, then to our behavior, and finally to how we cooperate with the Lord. Achsah, as an active and “pushy” woman, shows how this process should occur with us and the role we play in making it happen.
Music
The most formal of the services, this is another service primarily supported by the organ. It is preceded by meditative preludes starting at 10:40 am, and includes four hymns, an interlude, and a postlude, as well as an Office with selections sung by the congregation. Guest musicians often bring variety alongside the customary organ music, and this service is the home of the Cathedral Choir.
