Speaking in Tongues

This Sunday is Pentecost--the celebration of God's sending the Holy Spirit to us. The choir will be contributing to the drama of the story of this event from the book of Acts by speaking in tongues. Here is the plan:

At a point in the reading, the Choir begins calling out the following phrases:

“Takwaba uwabanga Yesu!”
“No hay nadie como Cristo!”
“There’s no one like Jesus!”
“Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt!“
“Jubiláte Deo, omnis terra!”
“Poussez vers l'Éternel des cris de joie!”

Choose one and be ready to shout it aloud on Sunday. (The English is only a last resort!)

As if that weren't enough, we are also singing Heinrich Schutz's setting of Psalm 100 (in English) with the brass ensemble. See the recording below.

It is going to be an exciting, final day of the season.
