Do you shop at Jewel? Are you saving the green stamps for Cuisinart cookware? If you are not, we are!!! Last year the Jewel promotion featured stamps for dishware. Your collective response to that appeal was 16 sets (4 table settings of four). They were all shared, some to parishioners and others to House of Good Shepherd who help families with domestic violence start a new household. As one parishioner said, “I have never had a matching set of four for 4 people in my entire life!” So if you have any extra not-to-be-used green stamps throughout these next few months, please consider dropping them off in the collection or at the rectory to the attention of Fr. John Boivin. The last day for these stamps to be given is Christmas Day; the last day to be redeemed is January 7th. Please drop them off before New Year’s Day.

Richard Powell WORSHIP 379 Silent Night STILLE NACHT Hymn** WORSHIP 411What Child is This? GREENSLEEVES *Once In Royal David's City is a Christmas carol originally written as poem by Cecil Frances Alexander. The carol was first published in 1848 in Miss Cecil Humphreys' hymnbook Hymns for little Children. A year later, the English organist Henry John Gauntlett discovered the poem and set it to music. Cecil Alexander is also remembered for her hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful. "Royal David's City" refers to Bethlehem, which the New Testament records as the historical birthplace of King David, an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Theologically, Alexander's poem expands a little upon the childhood of Jesus Christ, which is not told in any detail in any of the Four Gospels. Being a children's poem, it largely dwells upon the more palatable aspects of the Nativity story. **"Silent Night" (German: Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) is a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song Stille Nacht were written in Austria by the priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. In 1859, John Freeman Young (second Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Florida) published the English translation that is most frequently sung today. The version of the melody that is generally sung today differs slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber's original, which was a sprightly, dance-like tune in 6/8, as opposed to the slow, meditative lullaby version generally sung today. The carol was first performed in the Nikolaus-Kirche (Church of St. Nicholas) in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818. Mohr had composed the words two years earlier, in 1816, but on Christmas Eve brought them to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the church service. In his written account regarding the composition of the carol, Gruber gives no mention of the specific inspiration for creating the song. According to the song's history provided by Austria's Silent Night Society, one supposition is that the church organ was no longer working so that Mohr and Gruber therefore created a song for accompaniment by guitar. One Silent Night historian says that the first mention of a broken organ was in a book published in the U.S. Some believe that Mohr simply wanted a new Christmas carol that he could play on his guitar. The Silent Night Society says that there are "many romantic stories and legends" that add their own anecdotal details to the known facts.
