Lessons and Carols in July
In this service of carols, we listen to nine scripture lessons, which recount the fall, the promise of the Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News. Deeply rooted in these lessons and carols lies the mission for each baptized Christian - to answer Jesus' call to holiness, moved by the Holy Spirit. Through these vignettes, we are challenged to walk by the light of Christ and to trust his wisdom, submitting ourselves to a deeper love.

In God We All Belong Hymn Festival
While praising God in the hymns and songs of our Church, so often the holy other can be left out of our worship: the immigrant, refugee, poor, weak, imprisoned, victims of abuse and violence, those struggling and accepting their gender and sexual identities, as well as those of other faith traditions. Come raise your voices in new hymn texts that will open minds and hearts to our baptismal call to serve all who are marginalized by our society and sometimes our Church. With brass, organ, and other instruments: let your voice be heard, for in God we all belong!
Evening Prayer in the style of Taizé
Gather around the cross, surrounded by the Church on earth and the icons that connect us to the Church in heaven, to pray in song, silence, and in the Word of God. Carol Browning

Marty Haugen Composer, Minnesota
As a baptized Christian, I have embraced a life-long call to ministry, in whatever action and in response to whatever and however we encounter the world. We have various gifts, but one Conference (in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1978) I have been continuously grateful for how NPM has brought us together as companions in ministry—elders and newcomers, professionals and amateurs, classically trained and home-grown—to share and learn and support each other. In these times, our common baptismal call to service is more necessary than ever.
Tom Stehle Cathedral musician, Washington D.C.
Christian life is a constant struggle and a challenge to live with gratitude and an openness to God’s grace in all the ways we encounter it. I try to bring that awareness to my work and help others understand the power and the responsibility that comes with a living faith grounded in Baptism. I try to stay engaged in my church community but also my civic community, raising up Gospel values in our protection and advocacy for the poor, the homeless, the refugees and the marginalized. Lately, I have been given the responsibility to create the Prayers of like hymn/song choosing. We should be very conscious that we are literally "putting words in people’s mouths." And we should never do that casually and certainly not carelessly.
Fr. Joseph Brown, SJ Historian and poet, Illinois
My mother and father were refused acceptance in the Roman Catholic Church in the 1930s because the pastor who was giving them instruction in southern Illinois told them his parishioners would run him out of town. They found a way anyway. When I was baptized, that was a mark of their being vindicated. They taught me, “you are as good as anybody else. This is our church.” That’s true for everybody who ever created or sang or were moved by Black sacred song. This is mine. This is ours. That spirit changed America on every level. We need this music in order to recommit selves to what we’re really supposed to be about.
