10.27.84Carl Krebsbach's brother, Lyle, bought a new car this week from a St. Cloud dealer. The little red foreign car was not available in Lake Wobegon. Lyle saw a picture of this car in a magazine and he just had to have it. On Tuesday, the car wouldn't start because someone put a potato up the tailpipe. Lyle has lived in town for twelve years so he's still seen as an outsider. He needs some friendship.The host was at the Sidetrack Tap a while back playing the baseball pinball machine and doing pretty well but lost his last ball. Carl put his hand on his shoulder, which almost brought him to tears. Lyle walks into the Sidetrack and he still has to give his order when Wally knows the order of all the regulars.The high point of the week was the show put on by the Lundeen's Gospel Birds up at the church. Attendance had been getting smaller and smaller so they needed to do something. The Deacons called a Christian booking company to book events at the church. Ernie and Irma Lundeen and the Performing Gospel Birds was the program on Wednesday. The church was packed. Ernie and Irma walked out in white satin outfits and they were covered in live birds. The birds were singing at the top of their voices. As Ernie bowed his head, the birds went silent. It was a 45-minute program full of flying and swooping and singing. The birds — dressed in little animal outfits — reenacted the Noah's Ark story. It was stunning. The birds then took up the collection as people held up dollar bills. Then little parakeets played “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” on tiny silver bells. Finally, Irma said she was going to send the birds out to people as they were praying, and a bird would land on their shoulders. It was the blessing of the birds, and everyone felt blessed by this event. This is a public episode.

often do we sing about loneliness at church-- --This is a problem in both traditional and contemporary worship songs. The old Trinity Hymnal only contained one song --His Eye Is on the Sparrow- -- 618- that used the word lonely to describe us, and even that song asks -why should my heart be lonely...when Jesus is my portion--- It almost rebukes us for feeling lonely- --But Psalm 25 is a song for the lonely. It promises us that we will not always be alone --the friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him-- - but it does not pretend that we will always experience that nearness of God. --Sometimes we are lonely. And that's okay. I'm not saying that loneliness is a good thing- It's not a good thing- But it is not a sin to be lonely---What should you do when you are lonely-- --We have God's promise that it won't -always- be like that - but when we are lonely, we have a song to sing.

often do we sing about loneliness at church? This is a problem in both traditional and contemporary worship songs. The old Trinity Hymnal only contained one song ("His Eye Is on the Sparrow" -- 618) that used the word lonely to describe us, and even that song asks "why should my heart be lonely...when Jesus is my portion?" It almost rebukes us for feeling lonely! But Psalm 25 is a song for the lonely. It promises us that we will not always be alone ("the friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him") – but it does not pretend that we will always experience that nearness of God. Sometimes we are lonely. And that's okay. I'm not saying that loneliness is a good thing! It's not a good thing! But it is not a sin to be lonely!What should you do when you are lonely? We have God's promise that it won't *always* be like that – but when we are lonely, we have a song to sing.

On July 25, 2021, Pastor Robert Kelly walked us through the hymn, His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Ethel Waters. He showed us how this "Cosmic Bird Watcher" cares for each of us and why that should matter. He also used this hymn as an encouragement to Beacon Church's new Care Pastors, whom we celebrated today!

Kristyn Getty is an award-winning singer-songwriter. Her voice is synonymous with hymns, having founded, along with her husband, Keith, the Getty Music Organization, which helps people learn the Bible through hymns to carry for life. Kristyn performs annual shows at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Grand Ole Opry, where she leads the Sing! conference—based on her book by the same name. She is particularly passionate about helping children and families learn their faith through song. Kristyn and Keith are originally from Northern Ireland and now live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their four daughters. Award- winning Christian hymn writers, Keith and Kristyn Getty announce the release of their latest collection of thirteen original hymns and lullabies featuring guest appearances from Vince Gill, Heather Headley, Ellie Holcomb, Sierra Hull, Deborah Kelmme and Sandra McCracken. Born from of a family tradition, the Evensong (Hymns and Lullabies at the Close of Day), includes the thoughts, songs and prayers that Keith and Kristyn Getty use at the end of their day with their daughters.Evensong, as a practice has always appealed to people by refreshing the soul and informing the mind. During these uncertain times, the need for restful contemplation and focussing on the Word of God is more important than ever for Christians throughout the world.The Evensong album was a dream project for Kristyn Getty. On turning 40, she and Keith decided that it would be a wonderful way to celebrate the year. With the global pandemic bringing about a need of comfort to homes in the evening time, it seemed like a perfect new venture for the family. “These are lullabies and hymns we have sung to and for our own children,” says Kristyn Getty of her four daughters. “Singing God’s truth into both the more tenderand vulnerable moments of the day has been a centerpiece of raising our own kids. I know I need true words spoken into my heart and mind to help de-clutter all that presses in upon me from day to day. I hope these songs help people dwell on the Lord and His promises; to release a burdened mind, to calm a restless heart and point us towards real peace in Christ.”Keith Getty OBE says, “Evensong, is a project born out of a family tradition. We close out our days with a time of reflection in thought, song, and prayer. This collection of hymns and lullabies features a mixture of many of our daily emotions that help us redirect the mind and the comfort of the heart.”Album producer Ben Shive was able to gather recordings from each musical collaborator and masterfully create a project fusing the Celtic, folk, bluegrass, classical and Americana sound the Gettys have become known for around the world. The cover art was specially created by internationally renowned Irish artist Ross Wilson. A special concert performance of this new project was recorded at Hidden Trace Farm, Tennessee, and premiered globally online on Aug. 31 as part of the Sing!Global conference and festival. The Getty’s music is sung by over 100 million people in churches each year throughout the world. In 2017, they established the Sing! Movement to encourage families and churches towards deep theology, timeless artistry, and vibrant worship. Rather than cancelling in light of the pandemic, the Gettys have rebuilt this year’s event from the ground up to be an immersive, virtual conference engaging leaders, families and churches around the world. The four-day event started on August 30 through to September 2, 2020 and featured over 100 speakers and artists including Joni Eareckson Tada, John Lennox, John Piper, Trip Lee, David Kim, Steven Curtis Chapman, John Patitucci, Bill Gaither, Conrad Mbewe, Andrew Peterson and David Platt.Listen here.TRACK LIST FOR EVENSONG (Hymns and Lullabies at Close of Day):Produced by: Ben Shive, Keith and Kristyn Getty1.

This well-known favorite is sung by Adoramus and Choral Union member Allison Haygood. His Eye is on the Sparrow is a Gospel hymn written in 1905 by lyricist Civilla D. Martin and composer Charles H. Gabriel. The theme of the song is inspired by the words of David in the Psalms and Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye (Psalm 32:8). "Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26) and "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:29–31). His Eye Is on the Sparrow Lauryn Hill, Tanya Blount Why should I feel discouraged Why should the shadows come Why should my heart feel lonely And long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is He His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches I know He watches I know He watches me I sing because I´m happy I sing because I´m free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) He watches me I know He watches Me Source: LyricFind

TODAY'S HYMNS: Holy, Holy, Holy!, O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, His Eye Is on the Sparrow, Surely The Presence of the Lord is in This Place, Kum ba Yah ............................................... SCRIPTURE - John 14:1-14 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled" .......................................................

One of the fears we all face is the fear of being unknown and unloved. I cannot see my Father, but he can see me. And he is working in our world in ways we may not see but that are nonetheless very real. For instance, Paul Coschignano is a 13-year-old who's used his 3D printer to create ear guards that will relieve the stress of wearing a facemask for hours on end. He wants to make them available to anyone who needs one. Also, the well-known hymn "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" offers further insight into how much our Father loves us.

All of us have heard spirituals before – those sometimes jubilant, sometimes sorrowful songs created by African American slaves. But have you really heardthem? As it turns out, these deceptively simple songs sometimes carried hidden messages, signals, and directions. Dr. Jason Oby, artistic director of the Houston Ebony Opera Guild, teaches all about this ingenious and soulful musical invention that was born out of oppression and necessity. He also talks about the spiritual’s connection to classical music, and the music of Roland Carter, who, among many things, arranges spirituals. Music in this episode: “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child,” feat. Jason Oby and Moses Hogan (piano) “His Eye Is on the Sparrow,” feat. Jessye Norman “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” arranged by James Weldon Johnson and John Rosamond Johnson, feat. Roland Carter “Hold Fast to Dreams,” by Roland Carter Audio production by Todd “Telekinesis” Hulslander with levitation from Dacia Clay and assistance from Mark DiClaudio.
