Each week, we, as a community, come together to worship and praise God. We listen to the Word of God, we proclaim our faith, we offer our prayers, we share God’s peace with each other, and we eat a meal of sacred food in common. But what is it that actually defines our faith? Is it being an Episcopalian and worshipping the way that we do? Is it professing our common faith in the ancient words written at the Council of Nicaea, or some other proclamation? Is it the form of our prayers take, or the confession of our sins? Or is it the act of coming to the communion rail and partaking of bread and wine that has been transformed into the sacred elements?

On the Sunday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend St. Cyprian's pays tribute to Dr. King with a Jazz Vespers service. This year's musical talent was Lonesome Bert & Peacenix, and our guest speaker was Maria Alexandra Sayers.
Maria Sayers was born in Portugal, educated at Michigan State, and then taught at Michigan State. She now lives in Palm Coast is a member of a writing group, Seaquills. Her essays, "the Singing Building," and "Call and Wrong Response" were a wonderful contribution to a fantastic evening. |
