Alex Benestelli sat down with organ consultant, Thomas Sheehan, this week to talk about the St. James Organ Project. Sheehan is the Cathedral Organist and Associate Director of Music at Washington National Cathedral,
and he has been advising us at St. James by-the-Sea since 2017.
This week's playlist is music all about music! Let's give thanks for the gift of music and celebrating the beauty of holiness. St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians, can be seen in many works of art playing the harp, the lyre, and the organ.
Listen to all the playlist in its entirety HERE. or sample each piece in the player below:
Welcome to this new video series of previously recorded hymns, psalms, and anthems. Music Director Alex Benestelli talks about some of the musical selections featured in our online services. Learn, listen, and enjoy these musical offerings from the Choir of St. James by-the-Sea.
This week's playlist is on the theme of the Blessed Sacrament. Holy Communion isn't something we have participated in much during the pandemic, and this music reminds us that the Holy Eucharist is a powerful sign of God's presence in the world.

This Sunday we share the story of Exodus...more from the Desert Box of Godly Play. Remember to have creative materials for the children after the story and Matzo crackers, as previously suggested by Miss Gabby, and remember to have a feast together as a family. This week it is especially important.
Ever taste a story? Think that's a weird question? It's also a terrific way to introduce children to Godly Play "Feast" time which is a communion practice we use in our Sunday school rooms. Try this fun way to introduce it all and add to your child's wondering.
The Desert is a dangerous place but so many wonderful things happen in the desert Miss Gabby will be sharing many desert box stories. Miss Gabby hopes you enjoy the stories and the new filming space. Please remember to have creative materials for children's work after the story and to share a feast with each other.
Be ready to hear the story of Noah. Then wonder together. We wonder what part of the story you are in or what part is especially about you? Remember to have creative materials available for children's response time following the story and remember to share a feast together as a family.
