Piety Hill Musings

The ramblings of the Rector of St. John's Church in the city of Detroit. Piety Hill refers to the old name for our neighborhood. The neighborhood has changed a great deal in the over 165 years we have been on this corner (but not our traditional biblical theology) and it is now known for the neighboring theatres, the professional baseball and football stadiums and new hockey/basketball arena.

St. John's Choir sings the National Anthem today

With the exception of the Tigers losing, it was a wonderful day at St. John's. Morning services, BBQ, parish to the Tiger Game, and then back to the Church for a 5:30pm wedding!

Here is another portion of the Easter Service - the Doxology and Our Father's God at the offertory.

Some day I will figure out how to keep it from loading two screens on blogger!

Rogation Sunday

Here's a view of our 'walk about' yesterday for Rogation Day - processing around the outside of the Church in a symbolic 'beating of the bounds' as we sang the Litany Hymn.

Newest Video download

"> " border="0" alt="" />

One of the things I am hoping to do with the video downloads is to introduce people to St. John's and take the 'unknown' factor away from folks who are walking in for the first time. I hope to have highlights of our 3 Sunday Services (8am already being downloaded - see here). I also have downloaded a video of how to drive to St. John's, so it will 'look familiar' to those coming down for the first time.
Then perhaps we can do some 3 minute teaching videos, and special event ones as well.

More tinkering with the new video camera

I downloaded a St. John's Video to Youtube, which supports a much larger video than blogger does.
