Brick Presbyterian Church

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Welcome to worship on a special day here at Brick Presbyterian Church, a festival of hymns.

I'm Reverend Sarah Logeman, and I am so delighted to be in worship with you today.

We want to extend a special welcome to those who might be with us for the first time today.

During the Revolutionary War, many brick church members served in the military.

According to E.

Dean Turner, in his history of the brick Presbyterian church, about 50 men served as officers or enlisted men in the Continental Army.

Turner gives the, quote, most valuable player award, unquote, to brick church member, Major General Alexander Dougal.

It is in celebration of our Kirken of the Tartan Sunday.

So a few weeks ago here at Brick Church, we celebrated World Communion Sunday.

We had flags from all around the world remembering that our heritage as a church is grown from Jesus' call to send people throughout the earth and we recognize the Christian church is a worldwide experience.

But as Presbyterians, we have a particular history, and that history comes through Scotland.

And so Yuna Yang, our member and designer, is gonna share with us something about the cover of your bulletin, Yuna.

Good morning.

It's been an honor to create a tartan for the Brick Church, one that I hope reflects the faith, history, and community that have sustained us for nearly 260 years.

Tartan comes to us from Scotland, where our Presbyterian tradition has deep roots.

And if you're visiting, give us some additional information such as your email address and telephone number.

We'd love to share with you more about what's happening here at Brick Presbyterian Church.

To that end, we have a very special, um, music worship service on November the 8th, and I want to give you well advanced notice so you can put it on your calendar, invite your friends, invite your family, invite the strangers on the street.

It is a requiem.

Raymond Nagum formerly served as Associate Director of Music and Organist at St. John the Divine.

We hear Claire de Lune by Louis Vierne. . .

Thank you.
