from Dr. Laura Palmer, Director of Music Ministries
“Lift High the Cross” resulted from the collaborative talents of two writers and
a musician. George W. Kitchin, a scholar and clergyman, wrote the original text
in 1887 to be included in a festival worship service at Winchester Cathedral.
Later in 1916, Michael Newbolt revised the text for publication in a supplement
to Hymns Ancient and Modern, England’s most well-known hymnal. With its
inclusion in this hymnal, it was set to a new tune composed by Sydney
Nicholson who is known for establishing the Royal School of Church Music.
Since that time, both text and tune have become inseparably well-loved.
Search Committee Prayer
Almighty God, we pray for the guidance of your Holy Spirit as we seek a new rector for our church.
You know our special needs and the task that lies in our hands. Direct us in our search and
give us insight to perceive the leader you would choose for us. And we further pray, O Lord, that
in this time of waiting we may all devote ourselves afresh to your service, so that nothing will be
lost of the faithful work of the past, but rather that it may be brought to a rich harvest in the years
to come. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Join us today, January 25th for the 2015 Chili Cook off and Bake
off following the 10:30 service in the Undercroft. Come and
taste and vote for your favorite chili and baked goods.

Yoga for Christians
When he was questioned, Jesus told the lawyer that to inherit eternal life, “You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” (Lk.
10:27) In yoga we breathe in the life breath of God, strengthen our bodies, and
sooth our soul for the purpose of becoming our best selves…the person God
sees when he looks at us. Come enjoy stretching, strengthening and breathing
in the light of the Spirit. We meet in the activity room Saturdays from 10:0011:00. **There will be no meeting Jan. 31.
