SUNDAY SERVICES


May 22, 2022
TWO SERVICES: 9:30AM & 11:15AM 
“Music in a Time of Anxiety” 
Glenn Mehrbach, Music Director
In 1798, Franz Josef Haydn was exhausted. He was about to turn 66 years old, and had been confined to his room by his doctor for exhaustion. Napoleon Bonaparte had defeated the Austrian armies and marched towards Vienna. On top of that, his employer, Prince Esterhazy, had fired all his woodwinds and brass, to save a bit of money. But, he was still obligated to compose a new Mass for the Princess Esterhazy. Out of this came the great “Missa in Anguistiis” (“Mass  in a Time of Anxiety”). In it, he acknowledges the darkness and foreboding of the times, yet also creates music of sustaining ebullience and hope, ending in an explosion of jubilation. I feel that the emotional and spiritual journey of this Mass speaks profoundly to our own anxious times, and the hope and resilience we must maintain to survive. By utilizing our marvelous Community Church Choir, soprano soloist Dana Lundquist, and a 16-piece orchestra that mirrors the reduced forces that Haydn had to work with, I hope this piece will touch you as deeply as it has touched all of us in preparing it. - Glenn Mehrbach, Music Director

WE ARE A WELCOMING CONGREGATION
Picture

We are a congregation that has historically stood for the civil rights of all people, especially those affected by racism and homophobia. We are a Welcoming Congregation, celebrating and affirming the active presence in our congregation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual members and friends and their families. We are actively engaged in dialogue about how to be a more racially diverse, multicultural, anti-oppressive congregation.  

SUNDAY PARKING: Please honor the parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities and limited mobility at the front of the church, as well as the spaces reserved for the Auction Winners. We encourage folks to carpool and/or park offsite, if at all possible. Parking is available at The Community Church, as well as alternate parking options. See a map here. Please note: parking is not allowed at the Kehillah across the street.
WEEKDAY PARKING: The large lot is fully rented; please use the small lot directly in front of the church, the wooded lot along Purefoy Road, or in the lot behind the church.
Office Hours: Tuesday - Friday 9AM- 2PM
