During my recent trip to South Africa, I was honored to be invited to a rehearsal of Cape Town's own Thanda Choir. Afterwards, I sat down with two choir members, Iva Sogiba and Siyasanga Mhlekwa, and two managers, Asavela Mpayipeli and Zikhona Mapisa. We discussed the choir's founding and the importance of recognizing and bringing awareness to Khayelitsha Township. Our conversation encompassed the church music that has inspired them and the passion and hopes for healing that Mhlekwa and Sogiba, along with their fellow choir members, bring to their songs. Traumas experienced by choir members and the larger community both are attended to with care, through the mentorship of Mpayipeli and the strong mothering of Mapisa, a well-known gospel artist in her own right. https://thandachoir.co.za
Tim Williams (Director of Church Relations, STCH), "Being a Loving Neighbor", Children's Time, Choir, Video Presentation, Blended Worship Praise Team (8:45 Service). 8. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10. Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

A message by Executive Pastor Gary Hankins from Hebrews 4 on September 28, 2025.
Astrid Jorgensen used her love of communal singing to build Pub Choir - a concept she took all the way to America's Got Talent. The idea involves turning a theatre of regular people into a choir and with Jorgensen's tuition and a PowerPoint, any group can sing a three-part harmony. She used her experience to craft a memoir - Average At Best. "Can everyone learn to sing and win a Grammy Award? Absolutely not. But can everyone physically sing? Yes! If you can talk, it's the exact same mechanisms that help you to sing." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. Our reflection opens as St Bride's Choir sings the eight-part motet "For he shall give his angels charge over thee" from Mendelssohn's great oratorio Elijah. In our reading we hear the parable of the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus. Alison goes on to reflect on this and our attitudes towards money in our journeys of faith. We close with the hymn "Immortal, invisible, God only wise" to the Welsh tune St Denio with text by the Scottish pastor Walter Smith.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii dive deep into KPop Demon Hunters (at 29:58), with guests Comic Creator Liza N. Cooper, and Watercolourist Tony Moy.This Netflix animation has become overnight sensation and we explore how it manages to make the local global, connecting with not just KPop fans but mainstream audiences of all ages (ourselves included!). The film uses simple, emotional storytelling to keep things moving, alongside fantastic songs that we break down and debate which we enjoyed best. But does it succeed as a narrative beyond its catchy tunes and vibrant animation?We examine the film's themes of friendship, identity and demon-hunting heroics, debating which moments work and how well the story's themes resonate. This week's storytelling tip is about designing a trio of protagonists for your story.Other stories we're enjoying include: Bring Her Back (Cinema), Weapons (Cinema), Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book), Tulsa King (Paramount+), Solo Leveling (Crunchyroll), The God and the Gumiho (Book), The Scarlet Veil (Book), The Comic Shop (Kickstarter), Dragon Goes House Hunting (Crunchyroll), Astrobot (PS5), Dandadan (Netflix), The Paper (Sky), Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin (Comic),Eyes of Wakanda (Disney+)Connect with Liza N.

If you love Me, Keep My commandments, If you love Me. - Philip M. Young - Luke 17:11-19: Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” - Hymn 462 - As After the Water-Brooks Panteth - Sermon - Hymn 43 - Holy God, We Praise Thy Name: 1 All, 2 Women, 3 Men, 4 All, 5 Women, 6 Men, 7 All - The Kyrie (Lord have mercy) (pp. 116-117) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 117) - The Collect (pp. 118-119) - Hymn 63 - Now Thank We All Our God - Hymn 598 - On My Heart Imprint Thine Image - Announcement: Dr. Gene Pfeifer, President - Special Recognition: Exceptional Service to Bethany Award - Mr. William Overn - Remarks by Mr. Lyle Fahning Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Nathan Nikoley (Organist), BLC Concert Choir (Choral Group), Prof. David Paulson (Choir Director)

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Honoring Marley Kaul's legacy in book and galleryVisual artist Paula Swenson remembers painter and former Bemidji State University professor Marley Kaul (1939–2021) as a mentor and a creative force in northern Minnesota. Swenson is excited for a new retrospective coffee table book, “Marley Kaul: Paintings,” covering six decades of his work.Book launch events include:Sept. 18, 5–8 p.m. at Open Book in MinneapolisSept. 23, 5–7 p.m. at the Watermark Arts Center in BemidjiSept. 25, 5–7 p.m. at the North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand ForksA corresponding retrospective exhibition of Kaul's work is also on view at the Talley Gallery at Bemidji State University through Oct. 30.Paula recalls one memorable moment turned painting: My husband and I were over to his house, talking to him, and just at that time, a bird of prey flew under the deck — under Marley. It was just that fast. And later on in that month, we went to visit, and Marley had done a painting of that experience, of the bird flying underneath him, under the deck and out again. — Paula SwensonA call and response: Peter Williams at MCADIndependent curator and art consultant Esther Callahan recommends “Peter Williams: Homegoing — A Call and Response,” on view at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design through Nov. 1.Esther says: The longer you look, the more you will see the depth of connections that are built into the space. For example, there are sight lines in this exhibition that have artists like Russell Hamilton directly communicating with seangarrison that beautifully builds on the narrative that is foregrounded in this exhibition by Peter Williams in memory and remembrance of his passing in 2021. This exhibit itself is rooted in honoring the complex experiences of Black Americans through historical and contemporary narratives with both a really good sense of humor and candid honesty. It's really important to note that this exhibit is supported by a chorus of 15 Minnesota-based Black artists responding to Williams profoundly human, critical and beautiful work.— Esther CallahanSongs with names take center stageAllison Amy Wedell of St. Paul is Alto 2 Section Leader of the Twin Cities Women's Choir. She's looking forward to the comedic cabaret “What's In a Name?” happening for one night only on Sept. 22 at the Hive Collaborative in St. Paul.Allison says: “What's in a Name?” is the brainchild of local actress and singer Jen Maren and local pianist and teacher, Andrew Fleser, who noticed the impressive and varied array of songs with names for titles and decided we needed to hear as many of them as they could fit into one show! I'm already familiar with Jen Maren's work, especially in her role as the murderess Marjorie Congdon in “Glensheen” at the History Theatre, but I understand that for the first time, she weaved some original stand-up comedy in among the music.Fleser's gorgeous accompaniment and quiet zingers provide the perfect foil for Maren's raucous charm.— Allison Amy WedellCorrection (Sept. 20, 2025): An earlier version of this story misstated the singer's name in the comedic cabaret section and the Art Hound's name. The story has been updated with the correct names.

3 Minutes Audio Devotional: Wrapped Up in God's Word is All You Need for Your Change to Come
Praise isn't just a filer, it's a weapon. If you're not praising, you're losing
In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael brought listeners a heartwarming and insightful conversation that showcased the vibrant spirit of Page County's community life. Joined by Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce, and Denise Schulz, director of the Community Choir of Page County, the conversation offered a behind-the-scenes look at how music, tradition, and togetherness continue to thrive in this picturesque corner of Virginia. The conversation opened with lighthearted banter about post-vacation catch-up and the joys of unplugging, but quickly turned to the main event: the Community Choir of Page County. For many, the existence of this choir—now celebrating its 50th year—comes as a delightful surprise. Denise, who has served as director for the past five years, explained that raising awareness is an ongoing mission. “We're trying to sing in the community more, and it's starting to pay off,” she shared, noting that the choir's performances, especially during the holiday season, are becoming a cherished local tradition. The choir's repertoire is as diverse as its membership. Each season, Denise carefully selects music that spans genres and traditions, with a special emphasis on inclusivity. “This year, our theme is light—how each of us has a light within us and how we need to share that with the world,” she explained. The choir's performances are not limited to Christian holidays; they also honor a variety of winter celebrations, reflecting the community's rich tapestry. One of the most inspiring aspects of the choir is its open-door policy. Anyone from high school age and up is welcome to join, regardless of musical background. Denise, whose roots are in music education and church music, is passionate about teaching and nurturing new singers. “It doesn't have to be perfect,” she said. “Everybody can learn about music in order to improve what they want to do with their hobby.” The choir even provides rehearsal tracks for members to practice at home, making participation accessible and enjoyable for all. The sense of camaraderie extends beyond rehearsals. Performances are a blend of unity and individuality—members don traditional black and white attire for the first half, then add personal touches like scarves or hats for the second. Last year's playful nod to the classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” included festive hats, much to the delight of audiences. Community outreach is at the heart of the choir's mission. In addition to public concerts, the group performs at local nursing homes, bringing holiday cheer to residents who may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy live music. Fundraising efforts, such as the annual chili sale during Luray's trick-or-treat festivities, help keep the choir's performances free for all, with donations welcomed to support future seasons. The conversation also highlighted the bustling calendar of the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce, with Gina Hilliard sharing details about upcoming seminars, business events, and the annual golf tournament that raises scholarship funds for local students. The conversation underscored the interconnectedness of community organizations and the shared goal of enriching life in Page County. As the episode drew to a close, Janet, Gina, and Denise reflected on the power of music to unite, uplift, and inspire. Whether you're a seasoned singer or someone who “carries a tune in a bucket,” the Community Choir of Page County offers a welcoming space to find your voice and connect with neighbors. In a world that often feels divided, this choir stands as a shining example of harmony—both musical and communal—lighting the way for all. For more information about joining the choir or attending upcoming performances, visit the Community Choir of Page County's Facebook page. And if you're in the area, don't miss the chance to experience the magic of live choral music this holiday season.
There are so many ways to involve a parish community in its music ministry, and not all of them, of course, include singing. Haven't we all heard the parishioner who says, “I can't join the music ministry - I can't sing!” Luckily for us, music ministry today can include instrumental assistance, including a handbell choir.In many instances, handbell choirs were the only choirs allowed in a parish setting during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a choir setting that can be accomplished without projecting the human voice. It can also be done with plenty of social distancing, if space allows. And more than anything, it provides the community of a choir without singing- a perfect option for those who want to use their musical gifts without singing.Handbell choirs are a great option in a music ministry program, but some music ministers may not know where to start: how can I afford handbells? Who do I purchase them from? How do I teach (and direct) a handbell choir? These questions and many more are addressed in my conversation today.Donna Kinsey has served for over 50 years as the pastoral musician for St. Francis De Sales Parish. She has taught music for public and Catholic schools in both Morgantown, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. She is also a handbell clinician and has spearheaded the National Catholic Handbell Festivals with the National Association of Pastoral Musicians.This episode is truly a primer on starting a handbell choir. Not only that, Donna has provided a handout in the “show notes” of this episode for additional tips. If you've ever considered starting a handbell choir, this is the episode for you.
On the morning of October 3rd, 2021, investigators combing through the charred remains of a Colorado home uncovered the burned body of a man. But it wasn't the fire that killed him. He had been stabbed in the neck multiple times, murdered before the flames were ever set. When two suspects were taken into custody, their conflicting stories and contradicting details only deepened the mystery of what really happened that night… Written by Sam Foster, Edited and Engineered by Scott Ecklein, and Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

In this haunting edition of Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom dives into two eerie listener stories that cross continents and centuries.First up, Emma recounts a surreal experience in Salzburg, Austria, where a casual visit to St. Peter's Abbey turns chilling after she follows the sound of a ghostly choir—singing from beneath the abbey floor. What she finds (or doesn't) in the crypt will leave you breathless.Then, Claire takes us to the hauntingly beautiful Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona. A wrong turn into a restricted wing leads to jammed doors, phantom footsteps, and the unmistakable presence of those lost in a tragic fire during the Spanish Civil War.Two historic sites. Two travelers abroad. And two stories that prove some echoes never fade.Turn down the lights and tune in, these tales might just follow you into your dreams.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Pass the Baton: Empowering Students in Music Education, a Podcast for Music Teachers
In episode 96, Theresa and Kathryn sit down with Rebecca Sensor, middle school choir director and president-elect of the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Rebecca shares how her choir program transformed its traditional spring concert into a fully student-driven “Pops Concert,” where students select, arrange, and even mash up popular songs that resonate with them. From brainstorming on day one of school to building ballots of potential repertoire, Rebecca describes how giving students a voice in the process leads to deeper engagement, ownership, and creativity.Throughout the conversation, Rebecca highlights the powerful impact of student choice—not only on concert performances, but also on students' confidence, collaboration, and lifelong music-making. She also discusses how this approach has shifted her own teaching philosophy, the challenges and joys of balancing student ideas with practical rehearsal needs, and the little strategies that make rehearsals more meaningful. This inspiring episode offers both big-picture insights and practical takeaways for music educators who want to empower their students and make concerts more personal and memorable.Connect with Rebecca and learn more: Facebook: Rebecca Cogan SensorTikTok: (the real) Rebecca SensorLearn more about Pass the Baton: Pass the Baton websiteJoin the Coffee ClubSupport Pass the Baton Amplify student voice with Exit Tickets for Self-Reflection

It's Monday, September 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims dress up as Christian cleric and choir members before killing In a chilling new tactic, Muslim rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces in Congo, Africa, disguised themselves as church officials and choristers before launching a recent fatal attack on Mayi Moya village in Beni Territory, reports International Christian Concern. The Muslims killed three civilians and kidnapped eight. The attackers reportedly began their August 13 mission in Ngite village earlier in the morning, where they raided a church, stole clerical robes and choir garments, and posed as members of a religious delegation. One church official said, “They came into our church and stole the robes of our priests and choir; they then put them on, posing as a delegation from another church. It was a devilish plan. To use the very symbols of worship to deceive and destroy is beyond evil. My heart breaks for those who trusted them, thinking they came in peace.” When the group arrived in the village around 7:05 p.m., villagers welcomed them warmly, believing they were part of a church mission. Survivor Jean-Philip Mboosa recalled, “I thought initially that they genuinely were from a church. They greeted us with smiles and songs, and it looked so real. But when I went closer, I noticed guns hidden beneath the robes. That's when my heart sank. I knew we had been tricked. I walked quietly back and then ran into the bush, praying God would protect me.” In light of this story, Matthew 7:17 takes on a new connotation. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” President Trump fired Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook President Donald Trump fired Lisa Cook, a member of the board of governors for the U.S. Federal Reserve. In a post on Truth Social a week ago Monday, Trump cited a criminal referral presented to Attorney General Pam Bondi on August 15, alleging that Cook made “false statements on one or more mortgage agreements.” The president went on to say, “The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve. In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.” Should Trump prevail in the legal case, his nominees would have the power to deliver Trump the rate cuts he has demanded. Right now, the range is 4.2%-4.5%. The president would like to see the rate cut to 1%. CDC staff who Kennedy fired were promoting abortion After President Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez when she refused to resign, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended the leadership overhaul at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an August 29th interview on “Fox & Friends,” reports LifeNews.com. KENNEDY: “The CDC has problems. We saw the misinformation coming out of COVID. They got the testing wrong. They got the social distancing [wrong], the masks [wrong], the school closures that did so much harm to the American people. “Today, on CDC's website right now, they list the 10 greatest advances in medical science, and one of them is abortion, another is fluoridation, another is vaccines. “So, we need to look at the priorities of the agency. There's really a deeply, deeply embedded, I would say, malaise at the agency. We need strong leadership that will go in there, and that will be able to execute on President Trump's broad ambitions.” While the CDC euphemistically references “family planning,” under its “Ten Great Public Health Achievements” of the 20th century, everyone knows that includes abortion as a morally acceptable decision for a pregnant mother. Christian baker who refused to make ‘wedding' cake for lesbians appeals to U.S. Supreme Court A devout Christian baker in California filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court to protect her right to create custom-designed wedding cakes that reflect her faith, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Cathy Miller, owner of Cathy's Creations and Tastries in Bakersfield, California, has endured almost a decade of the state targeting her for her 2017 decision not to bake a cake for a lesbian faux “wedding” because of her Christian faith. MILLER: “In our standards, it says that I ‘cannot participate in a wedding that would be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman.' But I'll do their birthday cakes. I'll do their cookies, you know. And there's so many other bakeries that are happy to. I'm the only one in Bakersfield that said I can't participate in that union.” Genesis 2:24 says, “A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Shockingly, within an hour of her polite refusal to make a wedding cake for a homosexual ceremony, the liberals tried to exact a pound of flesh. MILLER” “I said, you know, ‘I can't do your wedding cake. I can't create it for you, but I have someone who's a really good decorator, and I can refer you to her.' They got really upset. They grabbed the order form and they stormed out, and within an hour, there was a barrage of phone calls and threats. Social media just went nuts. “We received death threats, rape threats. I couldn't go anywhere except for the house, the bakery, and my church for three months. It was devastating to our family. It was devastating to the business.” One of Miller's employees also addressed the fallout. EMPLOYEE: “We had to shut down our emails. We had to shut down the phone calls. Only I or Kathy would answer them because they were very vulgar and threatening. They did break into Cathy's car and steal her computer and tried to damage the vehicle because it had a Tastries logo on it.” Miller added, “All I want is to serve my neighbors as the Gospel of Jesus Christ calls me to without being forced to create messages that violate my beliefs.” Texas House: If you send abortion kill pill, you'll be fined $100,000 And finally, the Texas House of Representatives passed a major pro-life bill last Thursday aimed at stopping mail-order abortion kill pills, reports LifeNews.com. The Woman and Child Protection Act -- HB 7 sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes -- will head to the Senate for final approval this week. While abortion businesses are closing brick-and-mortar facilities, they are shifting their tactics online. Activists send deadly pills into Texas illegally from other states and countries—to the tune of at least 19,000 orders of abortion drugs each year. Rep. Jeff Leach authored the measure. LEACH: “I am proud of this compassionate piece of legislation in front of you. This is going to save lives of baby boys and baby girls.” Democrat Texas Rep. Chris Turner, a pro-abort, asked Rep. Leach a question. TURNER: “Is your bill, House Bill 7, likely to increase or decrease women's fear of pregnancy in the state of Texas?” LEACH: “I am interested, by way of this bill, in protecting Texas babies and protecting their moms, and in building a culture of life here in the state of Texas. “Representative Turner, we should do everything we can to promote and elevate motherhood.” The Woman and Child Protection Act would do three things: First, allow Texans to shut down companies that sell abortion kill pills; Second, let women sue abortion kill pill traffickers; and And third, enable Texas to fine businesses which supply abortion drugs with a $100,000 fine.
