If anyone says anything to you\, just say this\, “The Lord needs them.” And he will send them immediately.*’ This took place to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet\, saying\, \n\n\n\n‘Tell the daughter of Zion\,Look\, your king is coming to you\,   humble\, and mounted on a donkey\,   and on a colt\, the foal of a donkey.’ \n\n\n\nThe disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt\, and put their cloaks on them\, and he sat on them. A very large crowd* spread their cloaks on the road\, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting\, \n\n\n\n‘Hosanna to the Son of David!   Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest heaven!’ \n\n\n\nWhen he entered Jerusalem\, the whole city was in turmoil\, asking\, ‘Who is this?’ The crowds were saying\, ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’ \n\n\n\nLiturgy of the Word\n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me   the tongue of a teacher\,that I may know how to sustain   the weary with a word.Morning by morning he wakens—   wakens my ear   to listen as those who are taught.The Lord God has opened my ear\,   and I was not rebellious\,   I did not turn backwards.I gave my back to those who struck me\,   and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;I did not hide my face   from insult and spitting.The Lord God helps me;   therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint\,   and I know that I shall not be put to shame;   he who vindicates me is near.Who will contend with me?   Let us stand up together.Who are my adversaries?   Let them confront me.It is the Lord God who helps me;   who will declare me guilty?All of them will wear out like a garment;   the moth will eat them up. \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:9-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\nMiserere mei Domine quoniam \n\n\n\nHave mercy on me\, O Lord\, for I am in trouble; *   my eye is consumed with sorrow\, and also my throat and my belly.For my life is wasted with grief\, and my years with sighing; *   my strength fails me because of affliction\, and my bones are consumed.I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors\, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *   when they see me in the street they avoid me.I am forgotten like a dead man\, out of mind; *   I am as useless as a broken pot.For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around; *   they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life.But as for me\, I have trusted in you\, O Lord. *   I have said\, “You are my God.My times are in your hand; *   rescue me from the hand of my enemies\, and from those who persecute me.Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *   and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\nPhilippians 2:5-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nLet the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus\,who\, though he was in the form of God\,   did not regard equality with God   as something to be exploited\,but emptied himself\,   taking the form of a slave\,   being born in human likeness.And being found in human form\,   he humbled himself   and became obedient to the point of death—   even death on a cross.Therefore God also highly exalted him   and gave him the name   that is above every name\,so that at the name of Jesus   every knee should bend\,   in heaven and on earth and under the earth\,and every tongue should confess   that Jesus Christ is Lord\,   to the glory of God the Father. \n\n\n\nMatthew [26:36-27:10] 27:11-54[55-66] (NRSV)\n\n\n\n[Then one of the twelve\, who was called Judas Iscariot\, went to the chief priests and said\, ‘What will you give me if I betray him to you?’ They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. \n\n\n\nOn the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus\, saying\, ‘Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?’ He said\, ‘Go into the city to a certain man\, and say to him\, “The Teacher says\, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them\, and they prepared the Passover meal. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, he took his place with the twelve; and while they were eating\, he said\, ‘Truly I tell you\, one of you will betray me.’ And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another\, ‘Surely not I\, Lord?’ He answered\, ‘The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him\, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.’ Judas\, who betrayed him\, said\, ‘Surely not I\, Rabbi?’ He replied\, ‘You have said so.’ \n\n\n\n[While they were eating\, Jesus took a loaf of bread\, and after blessing it he broke it\, gave it to the disciples\, and said\, ‘Take\, eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup\, and after giving thanks he gave it to them\, saying\, ‘Drink from it\, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant\, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you\, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.’ \n\n\n\n[When they had sung the hymn\, they went out to the Mount of Olives. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus said to them\, ‘You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written\,“I will strike the shepherd\,   and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”But after I am raised up\, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Though all become deserters because of you\, I will never desert you.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘Truly I tell you\, this very night\, before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Even though I must die with you\, I will not deny you.’ And so said all the disciples. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples\, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee\, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them\, ‘I am deeply grieved\, even to death; remain here\, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little farther\, he threw himself on the ground and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if it is possible\, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter\, ‘So\, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing\, but the flesh is weak.’ Again he went away for the second time and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if this cannot pass unless I drink it\, your will be done.’ Again he came and found them sleeping\, for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again\, he went away and prayed for the third time\, saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and said to them\, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See\, the hour is at hand\, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up\, let us be going. See\, my betrayer is at hand.’ \n\n\n\n[While he was still speaking\, Judas\, one of the twelve\, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs\, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign\, saying\, ‘The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him.’ At once he came up to Jesus and said\, ‘Greetings\, Rabbi!’ and kissed him. Jesus said to him\, ‘Friend\, do what you are here to do.’ Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him. Suddenly\, one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword\, drew it\, and struck the slave of the high priest\, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him\, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father\, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled\, which say it must happen in this way?’ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds\, ‘Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching\, and you did not arrest me. But all this has taken place\, so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.’ Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. \n\n\n\n[Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest\, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him at a distance\, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside\, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would end. Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death\, but they found none\, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward and said\, ‘This fellow said\, “I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” ’ The high priest stood up and said\, ‘Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?’ But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him\, ‘I put you under oath before the living God\, tell us if you are the Messiah\, the Son of God.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘You have said so. But I tell you\,From now on you will see the Son of Man   seated at the right hand of Power   and coming on the clouds of heaven.’Then the high priest tore his clothes and said\, ‘He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?’ They answered\, ‘He deserves death.’ Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him\, saying\, ‘Prophesy to us\, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?’ \n\n\n\n[Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant-girl came to him and said\, ‘You also were with Jesus the Galilean.’ But he denied it before all of them\, saying\, ‘I do not know what you are talking about.’ When he went out to the porch\, another servant-girl saw him\, and she said to the bystanders\, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.’ Again he denied it with an oath\, ‘I do not know the man.’ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter\, ‘Certainly you are also one of them\, for your accent betrays you.’ Then he began to curse\, and he swore an oath\, ‘I do not know the man!’ At that moment the cock crowed. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: ‘Before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ And he went out and wept bitterly. \n\n\n\n[When morning came\, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. They bound him\, led him away\, and handed him over to Pilate the governor. \n\n\n\n[When Judas\, his betrayer\, saw that Jesus was condemned\, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said\, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.’ But they said\, ‘What is that to us? See to it yourself.’ Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple\, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests\, taking the pieces of silver\, said\, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the treasury\, since they are blood money.’ After conferring together\, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah\, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver\, the price of the one on whom a price had been set\, on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price\, and they gave them for the potter’s field\, as the Lord commanded me.’] \n\n\n\nNow Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him\, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said\, ‘You say so.’ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders\, he did not answer. Then Pilate said to him\, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ But he gave him no answer\, not even to a single charge\, so that the governor was greatly amazed. \n\n\n\nNow at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd\, anyone whom they wanted. At that time they had a notorious prisoner\, called Jesus Barabbas. So after they had gathered\, Pilate said to them\, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you\, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. While he was sitting on the judgement seat\, his wife sent word to him\, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man\, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. The governor again said to them\, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said\, ‘Barabbas.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ All of them said\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ Then he asked\, ‘Why\, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ \n\n\n\nSo when Pilate saw that he could do nothing\, but rather that a riot was beginning\, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd\, saying\, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.’ Then the people as a whole answered\, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus\, he handed him over to be crucified. \n\n\n\nThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters\, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him\, and after twisting some thorns into a crown\, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him\, saying\, ‘Hail\, King of the Jews!’ They spat on him\, and took the reed and struck him on the head. After mocking him\, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. \n\n\n\nAs they went out\, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull)\, they offered him wine to drink\, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it\, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him\, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him\, which read\, ‘This is Jesus\, the King of the Jews.’ \n\n\n\nThen two bandits were crucified with him\, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him\, shaking their heads and saying\, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days\, save yourself! If you are the Son of God\, come down from the cross.’ In the same way the chief priests also\, along with the scribes and elders\, were mocking him\, saying\, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now\, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now\, if he wants to; for he said\, “I am God’s Son.” ’ The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way. \n\n\n\nFrom noon on\, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice\, ‘Eli\, Eli\, lema sabachthani?’ that is\, ‘My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of the bystanders heard it\, they said\, ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’ At once one of them ran and got a sponge\, filled it with sour wine\, put it on a stick\, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said\, ‘Wait\, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.’ Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two\, from top to bottom. The earth shook\, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened\, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him\, who were keeping watch over Jesus\, saw the earthquake and what took place\, they were terrified and said\, ‘Truly this man was God’s Son!’ \n\n\n\n[Many women were also there\, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene\, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph\, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb. \n\n\n\n[The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, ‘Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, “After three days I will rise again.” Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, “He has been raised from the dead”\, and the last deception would be worse than the first.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.’ So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:In-person Holy Eucharist for Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome at Church of the Redeemer. We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nThe Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday\n\n\n\nPalm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter at which Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-11\, Mark 11:1-11a\, Luke 19:29-40) and Jesus’ Passion on the cross (Matthew 26:36-27:66\, Mark 14:32-15:47\, Luke 22:39-23:56) are recalled. Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week.  \n\n\n\nThe observance of Palm Sunday in Jerusalem was witnessed by the pilgrim Egeria in about 381-384. During this observance there was a procession of people down the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem. The people waved branches of palms or olive trees as they walked. They sang psalms\, including Psalm 118\, and shouted the antiphon\, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”  \n\n\n\nThe Palm Sunday observance was generally accepted throughout the church by the twelfth century. However\, the day was identified in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer as simply “The Sunday next before Easter.” The blessing of branches and the procession were not included.  \n\n\n\nThe 1928 Book of Common Prayer added the phrase “commonly called Palm Sunday” to the title of the day. A form for blessing palms was provided by the Book of Offices (1960). The 1979 BCP presents the full title for the day\, “The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday” (BCP\, p. 270).  \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the palms is the entrance rite for the service. The liturgy of the palms includes a reading of one of the gospel accounts of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. All the people hold branches in their hands during the procession. Appropriate hymns\, psalms\, or anthems are sung.  \n\n\n\nWhen the service includes the Eucharist\, the liturgy of the palms is followed by the salutation and the collect of the day. The service changes focus abruptly from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the solemnity of the Passion. The Passion gospel may be read or chanted by lay persons. Specific roles may be assigned to different persons. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Palm Sunday.) \n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing.

Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. \n\n\n\nThe observance of Palm Sunday in Jerusalem was witnessed by the pilgrim Egeria in about 381-384. During this observance there was a procession of people down the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem. The people waved branches of palms or olive trees as they walked. They sang psalms\, including Psalm 118\, and shouted the antiphon\, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” \n\n\n\nThe Palm Sunday observance was generally accepted throughout the church by the twelfth century. However\, the day was identified in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer as simply “The Sunday next before Easter.” The blessing of branches and the procession were not included. \n\n\n\nThe 1928 Book of Common Prayer added the phrase “commonly called Palm Sunday” to the title of the day. A form for blessing palms was provided by the Book of Offices (1960). The 1979 BCP presents the full title for the day\, “The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday” (BCP\, p. 270). \n\n\n\nThe liturgy of the palms is the entrance rite for the service. The liturgy of the palms includes a reading of one of the gospel accounts of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. All the people hold branches in their hands during the procession. Appropriate hymns\, psalms\, or anthems are sung. \n\n\n\nWhen the service includes the Eucharist\, the liturgy of the palms is followed by the salutation and the collect of the day. The service changes focus abruptly from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the solemnity of the Passion. The Passion gospel may be read or chanted by lay persons. Specific roles may be assigned to different persons. \n\n\n\n(Taken from Palm Sunday.) \n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

SUMMARY:Shape Note singing
DESCRIPTION:Shape Note\, or Sacred Harp\, is a singing tradition with roots from England. In North America\, it traveled through New England to Appalachia and the Ozarks. Today people take part around the world in this tradition of shape note signing. We regularly sing hymns today that started from this tradition. Through the Pacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\, this music will come to the parish hall at Church of the Redeemer on two Sunday afternoons. Come\, take part from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on March 29\, and April 26. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is no admission or membership dues. A collection will be taken to cover expenses. The PNWSHS invites anyone and everyone. This singing will use the 2025 Denson Edition of The Sacred Harp. Loaner books will be available. \n\n\n\nChurch of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore\, Washington. \n\n\n\nWhat is a shape note singing?\n\n\n\nA shape note “singing” is not a church service. On the contrary\, it is a group of people coming together to sing. It is democracy in action. “We are not Baptist\, Jews\, Episcopalians and atheists. We are altos\, tenors\, trebles and basses. And we know we need each other to do this” (NPR). \n\n\n\nThere is no professional shape note singers or concerts. This music is participatory by people\, with or without music education. \n\n\n\nThere are unique harmonies in this music. Jeannette Sorrell describes it this way\, “It’s just a texture that\, in a way sounds somewhat medieval — many open fifths and open fourths; things like that” (WFMT). \n\n\n\nWhile there is no professional shape note singers\, professional groups have used music from this tradition. For example\, the Tudor Choir has a Christmas album of music collected by Karen Willard’s An American Christmas Harp. Chanticleer has recorded some shape note music\, including “Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken” on their Our American Journey album. \n\n\n\nAll sorts and conditions of people take part in shape note singing. For example\, a punk rocker by the name José Camacho-Cerna contributed the tune Lowndes to the 2025 edition of The Sacred Harp. \n\n\n\nNicholas Thompson was asked to leave his church in rural Alabama after he came out. The shape note community embraced him. “Sacred Harp let me be who I was\, and I didn’t have to pretend to be anybody when I was at singings or with singers. And the fact that it’s being kept alive by the queer community\, the\, you know\, minorities\, I love that. I love that it’s become a melting pot of everybody” (NPR). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction on March 22\n\n\n\nIn addition to the singings at Redeemer on March 29 and April 26\, Karen Willard will be at Church of the Redeemer on March 22\, 2026. Following the 10:30 service\, she will introduce shape note singing for anyone interested. You can see what it is all about. Ask questions! \n\n\n\nCome\, join the fun. Invite anyone. This is not a Redeemer event. You do not discuss politics\, religion\, or college football at singings. And\, while there are no membership dues or fees\, there will be a collection to pay expenses for the singing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\n\n\n\nThe PNWSHS mission is to organize\, improve\, expand\, and encourage community shapenote singing in the Pacific Northwest through singing school classes\, singings\, and conventions. It serves as the umbrella organization for all shapenote singings in Washington state\, and provides help as needed to shapenote singings in Oregon\, Idaho\, Montana\, British Columbia\, and Alaska.
