On Thursday, March 27, Isaac Everett and his band performed 8 songs off his new album TRANSMISSION for our weekly communion. Isaac and lyricist j. Snodgrass are both Union students who translate an Episcopal Eucharist into contemporary language and sound.
Below are links to three songs from the service. The first "God Help Me" is based on the Kyrie, "The Stranger" is the Great Thanksgiving, while "Tomorrow and Today" is the communion hymn.
Listen to them at the links below:
And for the lyrics written by j. snodgrass:
Please post a response to Isaac and John's music.

Just Where Is the Mark?
The second semester has been a very hectic time for the worship office. We participated in the inauguration of Professor Paul Knitter and then a special week of services leading up to our annual Trailblazers service.
The week of Trailblazers chapels each used the text from Phil. 3:12-14 with the theme "Pressing toward the Mark." Here is a short clip from the chapel of Tuesday, February 26. Jen Brown begins with an excerpt from "Letters of Love and Hope: The Story of the Cuban Five," and Derrick preaches a sermon titled "Just Where is the Mark?"
Enjoy and send your comments.

Ritual Performance Class
The Ritual Performance and Criticsm class prepared the chapel for Tuesday, November 13 based on a reading from II Thessalonians 2. The text speaks to the community in Thessalonica expecting the immanent "day of the Lord" a warning not to be deceived or shaken by others. The chapel group used their learnings in our ritual class to imagine many new sounds and actions to embody the feelings of alarm and breaking trust, as well as the comfort that Paul promises in every good work and word.

Remembering Tim Fauvell
The Rev. Tim Fauvell, lecturer in Field Education and supervisor of Union students in CPE, died suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 7. We remembered him at a funeral today in the Riverside Church with stories and the music that was such a part of his life. We post here a short clip of a service in which he preached from February 2005.

I am who I say I am...
On Wednesday, October 24, members of the Black Caucus led a chapel service based on Exodus 3:13-14 where God reveals Godself as "I am who I say I am." Ben Sanders delivers a powerful message claiming "I Am" as a model for our living before God and others. Derrick McQueen and Kim Harris sing, "Lord, How Come We Here?"

The dead have a pact with the living...
Special guests for our service on All Hallow's Eve were Professors Siobhan Garrigan (Union STM ’91) and Patrick Evans (Union artist-in-residence 2001-02) who serve as Dean of Chapel and Director of Chapel Music, respectively, for the daily ecumenical worship program in Marquand Chapel at Yale Divinity School. Siobhan is Assistant Professor of Liturgical Studies at YDS and the Institute of Sacred Music, and Patrick is Associate Professor in the Practice of Sacred Music at YDS/ISM.
Our service for All Hallow's Eve was the first of three that celebrated are ancestors and loved ones who have died. On Thursday, November 1, at noon we had our annual All Saints and All Souls communion service. And that evening the Latina/o Caucus presented their Day of the Dead service and dinner.
As I post this one week later on Thursday, November 8, we have just experienced the sudden death of a dear friend who was an alumnus, one of our field education lecturers, and a CPE supervisor.
We are reminded how important these services are as a chance for the community to be present to one another in the times of our greatest loss and across all time as we gather at one table as the communion of all saints.
