In the News - Outreach Helps Big Table Assist Restaurant Worker

11/19/2020

Local nonprofit helps La Jolla restaurant worker access care for multiple sclerosis
PictureCaption for Photo in Graphics/Outreach: Edgar Uribe (left) stands with Piatti customer Martha Ehringer and Jesse Vigil of Big Table, which helped Uribe access treatment for his multiple sclerosis.
By Elisabeth Frausto, Staff, La Jolla Light Writer
Nov. 9, 2020

La Jolla restaurant employee Edgar Uribe has multiple sclerosis that went untreated for a decade, until a local nonprofit stepped in to connect him with the care he needed.
Uribe, a busser at Piatti in The Shores for eight of his 10 years at the restaurant, has been receiving medical care facilitated and paid for by Big Table, a faith-based nonprofit that works to connect workers in the food service and hotel industries with whatever assistance they need.
Uribe said his MS “didn’t get really bad until last year.” He tried to find treatment, which proved difficult due to his citizenship status, he said. “I didn’t get any help.”
Uribe was referred to Big Table through Piatti guest Martha Ehringer, who complimented Uribe’s hard work to the restaurant’s manager, Tom Spano. Uribe was “charming, sweet and helpful,” she said.
When she learned of Uribe’s MS, Ehringer spoke to Spano about referring him to Big Table, which she had just learned about as outreach chairwoman for St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.
Jesse Vigil, city director for the San Diego chapter of Big Table, said Spano submitted the referral for Uribe. Big Table, which has an office in Pacific Beach, does not accept self-referrals.
Uribe “is a great guy,” Spano said. “He works as hard as he can; he’s a good person in and out. We hope his MS can be halted, if not reversed.”
Big Table “got me a doctor, who prescribed steroids,” Uribe said, which “calm down my nervous system.”

Organ Conversation - Manuel Rosales discusses the Organ Console

11/19/2020

1 Comment

 
​Alex Benestelli talks with organ builder, Manuel Rosales, during a recent trip to Los Angeles. Visits included recent Rosales organ consoles at St. Thomas' of Canterbury, Long Beach, St. Paul the Apostle, Westwood, St. James' in-the-City, and First Church of Christ, Scientist in Pasadena.
The organ console, the place where the organist sits at the keyboards, is highly customizable. Rosales described the important ideas to consider, including thoughts on the draw-knobs, keyboards, digital display, piston layout, and even the selection of wood.
Using feedback from this visit, the Rosales/Parsons team will do draft drawings of our new organ console, and we will work together to refine our ideas into a final concept.

Music Moment - Antiphon from Five Mystical Songs

11/16/2020

0 Comments

 
​Let all the world in every corner sing,
"My God and King!"
The heavens are not too high,
His praise may thither fly;
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
"My God and King!"
​Let all the world in every corner sing,
"My God and King!"
The church with psalms must shout:
No door can keep them out.
But, more than all, the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
"My God and King!"
Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
Words: George Herbert (1595-1633)

In the News: Mo. Rebecca Noted for Organizing Interfaith Prayer Vigil

11/13/2020

Rev. Marcus Lohrmann says a prayer in front of the San Diego County Administration Building for a pre-election Interfaith Prayer and Peace vigil organized by faith leaders of San Diego and the San Diego Organizing Project on Nov. 1, 2020.(Ariana Drehsler/For The San Diego Union-Tribune)
By MARCUS C. LOHRMANN, pastor, Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, La Mesa
NOV. 11, 2020

Prayer is a vulnerable project.
Step back a moment to consider the audacity of the thing: In prayer, meager human beings set out to connect our hearts, minds, strengths and souls with the source of all life and creation. Talk about ambitious!
One psalmist articulates how ludicrous this can all feel: “When I consider the heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and stars in their courses ... who am I that you would be mindful of me?”
Cynics point to this preposterous ambition as its central weakness, yet the inclination towards prayer is an ancient and constant word of “nevertheless.”
Suffering exists: nevertheless. Futility always seems to get the last word: nevertheless. The world isn’t always as it should be: nevertheless, we persist in hope. Suffering and futility never get the last word on us.
To pray is to become vulnerable to the Divine reality of nevertheless.
We are shaped by the daily postures we assume. We are shaped by the positions that our bodies take as we move through the world, as they are bent over by the forces around us. As a pastor, I have become deeply concerned with the spiritual damage that persistent postures of division inflict upon us as communities and individuals.
This inclination towards division has become such a mainstay of American punditry, political speech and water-cooler conversation (or maybe in 2020 we’d say Zoom conversation) that to let the word “unity” dribble out of one’s mouth is to welcome, even to expect, mockery and derision by the cynical.
