"Things Fall Apart”
(In person and online on Zoom)
Sunday, March 9th at 10:30am
St.. Patrick’s day is upon us, and reminds this year us of Irish wisdom in the face of oppression, so beautifully captured by William Butker Years in his classic poem,“The Second Coming:”
“Circling and circling in a widening gyre,
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned.”
But a sober consideration of Yeats is not the only way we will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I have invited the musicians with whom I play Irish traditional music every week to join us for this service, and we will have a solo anthem by Hazel Grenham and my wife Jacqueline’s arrangement of the classic “Danny Boy,” which she has performed on nation-wide television!
