Proclamation
We will turn our attention to words of the prophet Isaiah this Sunday. Isaiah is full of rich imagery of a time in the future, a time of peace and sharing. Let’s consider how we might make such a vision a reality. Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25 - Laura Mayo Music At the 9:00 service this Sunday, a small ensemble will sing "Let There Be Peace on Earth," a song written by Jill Jackson-Miller and Sy Miller in 1955. It was initially written for and sung by the International Children's Choir created by Easter Beakly and Arthur Granger of the Granger Dance Academy in Long Beach, California. The song's composers led a number of rehearsals for the children's choir from 1955 to 1957, and the song continues to be the theme for this group of children who represent a host of nations. At the 11:00 service, the Covenant Singers will sing "And I Saw a New Heaven," by Edgar L. Bainton (1880-1956). Bainton was an English born composer, who worked at the Newcastle Upon Tyne Music Conservatory. During a 1914 trip to Bayreuth, he was arrested spent until 1918 in a civilian detention camp as a "male enemy alien of military age." He moved to Australia in 1934. "And I Saw a New Heaven," written in 1928, is the Revelation parallel to Sunday's scripture from Isaiah. - David Lee |
