May 2014

Volume 13, Number 4 THE MESSENGER

May will be a month of saying

“thank you,” “we love you,” and

“farewell” as well as a time of looking

forward with excitement and hope to

new ventures and opportunities ahead.

On the first Sunday of the month,

May 4, we will say a prayer of

thanksgiving for our graduating high

school seniors. We will pray for their

safety and well being as they begin new

adventures in life, and we will give each

a Bible as a token of our love and

prayers. Then we will celebrate with

them at a hot dog and ice cream

luncheon following our worship.

On that same day, we will also

express our appreciation for the many

people who work with our young people

in Christian Education. Their influence

is incalculable, and we are thankful for

their self-giving in this vital ministry.

Sunday, May 11 will be our

Cathedral Celebration for the year. It

will mark the ninth anniversary of our

naming as the Cathedral Church of this

diocese on April 23, 2005, moved later

this year due to the lateness of Easter.

Bishop Duncan will be with us that day

to celebrate and preach and to baptize,

confirm, and receive new members into

the household of God in this place. It

will be an important day in our life

together as the Cathedral family, and we

will mark it with a special luncheon

honoring our newly baptized and

confirmed.

Finally, on Sunday, May 18, we will

give thanks for the many years of

service given to Christ Church by our

Organist/Choirmaster, Peggy Lyden.

We will lift up the musical programs she

has built here, which are at the heart of

how we worship and who we are

together. And we will say prayers of

thanksgiving and Godspeed as she

begins a new chapter in her ministry at

St. Paul’s in Springhill.

In all these things, we remember

God’s goodness to us, the many gifts we

enjoy in this place, His continued

provision for all our needs and blessings

on our endeavors. I pray that you all will

join together with me in looking forward

with joyful anticipation to the days that

lie ahead.

Dear Cathed ral Family,

9TH ANNUAL CATHEDRAL CELEBRATION CONFIRMATION, BAPTISM, AND PAROCHIAL VISIT

Sunday, May 11 at 10:00 a.m. Luncheon in the Chapter House to follow.

The Right Reverend Philip M. Duncan, II will be at Christ Cathedral for the Cathedral Celebration on Sunday, May 11.

Tr ibute to Peggy Lyd en

Peggy Lyden has been the Organist/Choirmaster at Christ Church

since April 2001. She was hired by The Reverend W. Ellis Wilkins who

was serving as interim Rector for the then exiled congregation

worshipping at St. John’s, Mobile. Peggy left the Spanish Fort United

Methodist Church to join the small group. She and her husband Jack and

their daughters Emi and Susie jumped into the life of the congregation.

Jack became an usher, and once he was received, a lay reader. Emi and

Susie were acolytes and sang in the children’s choir. The Lydens even

brought Peggy’s mother, Carolyn Levensailor, who volunteers as our

Archivist.

Ellis said of Peggy, “I had worked with her previously at St. John’s, and I

knew that she understood how I liked the service. Peggy has great talent, she is

quite the musician.” He continued, “She came onboard at a time when we all

worked for expenses. She, like many, was the right person in the right place.”

Peggy graduated with distinction in performance from Converse College

with a Bachelor’s degree in Music in Organ Performance and holds a Master's

degree from the University of South Alabama in Education with a concentration

in music. Her musical career began at an early age with piano lessons from

Thelma Perkins. Carolyn Levensailor said that she started Peggy with lessons

because her father was an accomplished pianist. Peggy began playing the organ

under the tutelage of Jack Noble White when he was the Organist/Choirmaster at

St. Paul’s. From middle school Peggy would walk from the school to the church

to take organ lessons. She spent several summers at a music camp in California with White. When a committee was

sent to select a new organ for the church, Peggy went with them. Her professional career began as one of the

organists at St. Paul’s.

When asked for comments, long-term choir member Skip Archer noted

that Peggy has a real love of music. She has a way of fitting the music to the

season and going even further to match the music to the readings. Skip said,

“Peggy has a knack for dealing with a whole spectrum of voices, from the

least experienced to those who are proficient.” Her work is consistent. She

challenges choir members with difficult pieces. She challenges them to

move beyond their comfort zone and discover what they are capable of

doing. Skip continued, “Peggy is extremely committed to the choir

members, and she is always looking for new talent.” He finished by saying,

“Peggy is always teaching.” She teaches the choir pieces and brings them

back time and again so that they can gain proficiency. She also challenges

the congregation with not so well known music from the hymnal. And he

said, “she teaches up to the very last minute!’

Peggy’s last Sunday on the bench will be May 25. We will have a

reception in her honor on Sunday, May 18 following the service. Beginning

June 1, Peggy will take on the role of Organist/Choirmaster at St. Paul’s,

Mobile. Peggy will also retire from teaching music at the Lower School at St.

Paul's Episcopal School. She is a member of the American Guild of Organists

and the Association of Anglican Musicians.

She will always have a home within the Christ Church Cathedral family.

We will miss her.

The University of South Alabama Trumpet

Ensemble joined us in February. We continued the

Lenten Music series with The Archduke Trio: Bob

Holm, pianist; Guoshen Huang, cellist; and Enen

Yu, violinist; The Atkinson Duo: Mathew

Atkinson, violinist and Rebecca Atkinson, harpist

under the direction of Holly Compton for the final

joined us for Easter. The season will conclude with

the Cathedral Celebration in May with Enen Yu

joining us on violin.

We are extremely grateful to the many

contributors to the Music Ministry through

financial contributions as well as the many

talented artists and volunteers who give tirelessly

of their talents to make the music at the Cathedral

so special. Week in and week out the adult choir

remains the backbone of the musical offerings we

all enjoy.

This has been a wonderful year of making

music to the glory of the Lord. We give thanks for

all that has been and look forward to what lies

ahead!

Co nfir mat ion/Sund ay Scho ol ERD P ro ject

Our confirmation curriculum

challenges our students to seek and

serve Christ in others. Their fifth

class asks them the question from

the Baptismal covenant, “Will you

seek and serve Christ in all persons,

loving your neighbor as yourself?”

Their response, “I will with God’s

Help.”

As a way to serve Christ they

embarked on an ambitious goal to

raise $2500 to be given to Episcopal

Relief and Development to fund two

water treatment facilities. The class

members: Savannah Burgin, Tucker

Burgin, Jordan Chow, Lilly Hooker,

and Janaé Wilson asked the students

in the middle school class and in the

fun club to join their project. They

decided to make the project last

over the entire season of Lent.

Donations would be gathered in on

Easter Sunday.

They made a schedule which

began with an address by Jordan

Chow to the congregation during

church. While Jordan spoke, the

other students distributed ERD

boxes and envelopes. They helped

plan articles in both the Messenger

and the weekly notes. They even

made a video and posted it on

YouTube! The result… $1286.49 in

contributions—enough to build a

water filtration system!

The class was drawn to the

Clean Water project because they

have never had to consider whether

the water they drank was safe. In

many third world countries, people

cannot afford to filter their water.

Water that is not clean can contain

parasites and other things that can

hurt the human body. When people

consume the water, they will

become sick. Some of the diseases

can even cause death. You heard

Jordan when she said, “There are

many ways the donations can help

with this cause, but they all help

these people do the more important

things: drink, wash, cook, and live.”

When Eugene Johnston,

Diocesan ERD Chair was contacted

about the project he said, “How neat

that the students at Christ Church

Cathedral could learn about other

cultures, while gaining an

understanding that many things we

take for granted are not readily

available in many countries. They

are also able to take a leadership

role in their parish and learn how to

live into their Baptismal Covenant.”

He continued, “I hope future classes

will remember how easy it is to take

an ERD project and make it your

own.”

ERD Project: DRINK, WASH, COOK, LIVE

A Huge Success!

Dear Dean Gibson,

Thank you for including Bella Voce of Mobile (Mobile’s

Meditation Series at Christ Church Cathedral. We enjoyed

presenting the “Inspirational Reflections” concert on March

who attended appreciated it, also. And, your very generous

donation will help us to continue to share our love of beautiful

music at future concerts. We are so grateful for your financial

support and for the opportunities that it provides for our

group.

Also, we wanted to thank you for including us in the

to meet and greet everyone and share a meal. Your hospitality

was much appreciated!

Fantasy” concert at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mobile at

Thank you so much for supporting our mission of cultural

outreach and for helping us to share the precious gift of song

with those in our community.

Sincerely yours,

Cindy Tanner Roton

Bella Voca Corresponding Secretary

Dear Peggy,

Thank you for inviting us to play your concert series at

Christ Church Cathedral. Thank you also for taking your time

to join us on the organ for “Annie Laurie.” It really added a

lot to the concert and we really enjoyed getting to make music

with you!

We had a wonderful time meeting everyone. Please

convey our appreciation to the church ladies also for the

excellent lunch they shared with us.

Thanks again,
