This Last Sunday's Music (click here for the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) readings for The Episcopal Church USA):
for July 24, 2011, 10am | The Morning Prayer service was the culmination of three weeks of the musical presence of Mr Bobby Rieder, an excellent lead guitarist who is also legally blind. Bobby had played with Fr. Eaton on Sunday, July 10, and with Mr Larry Willey on July 17th. Then for his last Sunday, two other musicians besides Fr. Eaton were recruited to make up the "One-Time Only" band, Mr. Bill Watson on drums, and Mr. Brandon Sutton on bass guitar. Fr. Eaton provided rhthym acoustic guitar and lead vocals. Bobby left the next day to return to Austin, TX, with his wife, after a month's visit with his mother. Arrangements for the music was provided also by Fr. Eaton. The music was recorded by a digital voice recorder, and without any digital EQ, and will be posted to the parish weblog "Eagles That Pray" when separated from the master. | Entrance: "Holy, Holy, Holy" | | | Canticle after the 1st Reading: "Seek Ye First" | | Canticle after the 2nd Reading: "We walk by Faith and not by sight" | | Offertory: An offertory by the band of one of Bobby's favorite hymns, "How Can I Keep From Singing", written in 1868, and using the original text (not the text Pete Seeger introduced) | Mission: "Glory and Praise" Postlude: informal jam using unpublished instrumental written by Fr. Eaton |
FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
We've taken a lot of time to be certain of what God wants us to be doing. We'll fill out this page a little more later, but for now, these statements will do:
We believe that the mission of the Christian endeavor, no matter what denomination or congregation, is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.
We see our own unique purpose as one congregation among many here in Tulare and Tulare County to be: planting with prayer for the display of God's glory!
And with that in mind, the vision for our church we believe has been given by the Lord through his Holy Spirit, is that we will be: a thousand @ Prayer!
Now what will it take to be a “thousand at prayer”? It will take every talent and every skill we've developed, every spiritual gift that we've been given. We believe that every member of this congregation has a part in fulfilling and implementing this vision. Not all will be on their knees 8 hours a day (although some with the gift of “intercession” may well be!). But it doesn't take much imagination to see that the gifts of service, helps, administration and hospitality will also be necessary to provide a “coffee hour” for a thousand people every Sunday!
Come take your place in this Kingdom adventure!

GLAD YOU FOUND US!
Are you looking for a Christian church that has a clear focus of ministry, excited about who they are, and not in competition with any other church in town?
Are you looking for a congregation that seems to really like each other? And makes a fuss over new folks that show up?
Are you looking for a church that's not afraid to boldly proclaim the real “reason for the season?” Jesus?!
Or perhaps you just need to figure out what this church business is all about, and the room to do it?
We're not perfect, but we like to think that these questions reflect who we are as a working Christian congregation.
