UNITED THANK OFFERING INGATHERING SUNDAY 

November 23 

Filling the UTO box gives us the opportunity to practice the spiritual discipline of thanksgiving. It allows each one of us the opportunity to demonstrate our gratitude for: 

• Little things-beautiful weather, a phone call from a friend, a delicious meal 
• Big things-recovery from illness, a job opportunity, for forgiveness and reconciliation 

We are never too young or too old to count our blessings. Let's begin the daily practice of sharing our grateful spirits. The little things we are thankful for can become big blessings to others in need.

CATHEDRAL MUSIC  

Music notes for this Sunday:

During communion, Gary Kohler and Katie Powell will sing my own new setting of the African-American spiritual, Deep River. As a piece that expresses a deep longing after heaven, Deep River has come into the mainstream of church music. In my setting of the piece, I have tried to depict the intense longing for God, for heaven, inherent in the original version, in a vivid light. While the melody is traded between the baritone and soprano parts, you may notice that the soprano part, in particular, has a very expressive character that weaves around and above the melody. The baritone part expresses the text and the humanity of the piece while the soprano part, sung mostly on an "Ooo" vowel, is designed to capture the feelings of the soul. In this way, two singers come together to express one feeling.

NOTE FROM EDITOR: Listen to Christopher W. Powell improvise during a demonstration of the Hook&Hastings/Steiner-Reck pipe organ at Christ Church Cathedral in Mobile, AL on Oct. 05. 2014.
