From tonight’s Good Friday Tenebrae Service:  Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu, from the Requiem.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN: Pie Jesu   …   Duet, Sandra Ferington & Karlee Behr

The Latin word Pie can mean kind or merciful.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber version combines the text of the Pie Jesu with that of the Agnus Dei used at Requiem Masses:

°Pie Jesu, (4x)
°Qui tollis peccata mundi
°Dona eis requiem. (2x)		 Merciful Jesus,
Who takes away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest.
Agnus Dei, (4x)
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona eis requiem(2x)
Sempiternam. (2x)		 Lamb of God,
Who takes away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest
Everlasting.

Ron will be leading a fall trip to the Emerald Isle beginning September 17 and continuing for 10 days.  The trip will help us enjoy the beauty of Ireland, explore the history of Christianity in Great Britain, and meet the gracious people of this majestic island nation.  The cost is $3200 which includes airfare from Cleveland, breakfast and dinner each day, deluxe lodging and all sightseeing admission fees.

Our itinerary will take us from the bustling capitol of Dublin to ancient castles and monasteries.  We’ll see the lush countryside from The Ring of Kerry to the grand Cliffs of Moher and give you an opportunity to kiss the Blarney Stone at the famous Blarney Castle. You’ll see the ornately illustrated Book of Kells and enjoy the warmth and music of a traditional Irish pub.

With our congregation’s group travel program, you’ll also get to enjoy the friendship of other members of our church, make new friends along the way, and share the experiences with others when we return.

For more information, plan to attend an introduction session on Saturday, February 18 at 6pm in the Fireside Room (upper level).  Rev. Ron will share an overview of the trip and answer questions.

They reminded us who is the true star of Christmas, Jesus Christ. A Children’s Christmas Choir, instrumentalists, and story-tellers added to the telling, along with sheep, angels, wise persons, and (of course) the Holy Family.

Our thanks to Nicki Behr and the many volunteers who helped make this special service meaningful.
