Dear Faith@Five Community,

This weekend at Faith@Five, we gather for Trinity Saturday, a day that invites us to reflect on the mystery of a God whose very nature is relationship, communion, and love.

Our readings remind us that from the very beginning, Creation was spoken into being with purpose, beauty, and goodness. We are part of that Creation, made to live in relationship with God and with one another. In a world that feels so divided and uncertain, we hear a different invitation: to live in peace, to encourage one another, and to remember that the God of love and peace remains with us.

Throughout our service, we will sing of God's Presence bringing comfort in difficult times, strength for the journey, and the power to make us whole. We will celebrate the mystery of the Three-in-One, giving thanks for the ways God continually draws us into deeper community and calls us to see one another not as strangers, but as companions along the Way.

As we gather around the table, we are reminded that faith is never meant to be kept to ourselves. We are sent into the world to share hope, extend compassion, and carry love into the lives of others. And we do so with a promise that echoes throughout the service: we are never alone.

The Rev. Josh Laws will serve as preacher and celebrant, and our musicians and Connections Choir will lead us in a service filled with prayer, song, and fellowship.

Join us this Saturday as we worship, reconnect, and continue building a community where all are welcome and all belong.

Please stay after the service for refreshments and conversation as we begin our summer fellowship gatherings.

Peace,

Robert 💜

Dear Faith@Five Community,
[Feast of Pentecost: Prelude 4:45-5:00 PM, Postlude: Soloist]

This Saturday evening, we gather for the Feast of Pentecost, one of the great celebrations of the Church year. In the Episcopal tradition, Pentecost is often called the birthday of the Church: the moment when the Holy Spirit rushed into a frightened and uncertain community and transformed it into something living, courageous, and deeply connected.

The story is filled with wind and fire and voices speaking across every imaginable barrier. But beneath all of that mystery is something beautifully simple: people who once could not understand one another suddenly discovering that love itself could become a common language.

That feels especially important right now.

This week’s music and prayers move like breath through dry places, like rain upon thirsty ground, like light breaking through long nights. Together we will sing of the Spirit who awakens sleeping hearts, renews weary souls, and gently draws people together into one body. Again and again throughout the evening, we return to the image of God not forcing or conquering, but breathing life back into the world.

Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit does not belong only to the powerful, the certain, or the polished. The Spirit is poured out on ordinary people – on the exhausted, on the hopeful, on the grieving, on the young and the old, on those carrying visions they can barely explain and those simply trying to make it through another week with tenderness intact.

As part of this celebration led by The Rev. Keith N. Johnson, Jr., we’ll also renew our baptismal covenant together, recommitting ourselves to lives shaped by compassion, justice, mercy, dignity, and care for one another and for creation itself.

And this Saturday evening, we are especially grateful to welcome our regularly featured soloist, Christopher Jones, who will return to offer the warm and deeply moving postlude “Draw Us in the Spirit’s Tether” by Harold Friedell. Its closing words feel almost like the heartbeat of Pentecost itself: that through caring, helping, and giving, we become true disciples together.

So come as you are.
Come tired.
Come hopeful.
Come carrying questions.
Come needing music.
Come needing peace.
Come needing friends.
There is a place for you here.

With love,
Robert 💜

Dear Faith@Five Community,
[Faith@Five will meet in the church from 4:55 - 6:00 PM]

There are weeks and even months when the world feels loud with uncertainty, when we keep looking upward for answers, waiting for clarity, relief, direction, or peace. And yet, this Saturday evening’s worship gently reminds us that sometimes holiness begins not in certainty, but in gathering together anyway. In staying. In praying. In singing beside one another while we wait for strength to arrive.

This week’s music and readings move through longing, tenderness, endurance, and hope. We will hear voices that speak honestly about burdens too heavy to carry alone. We will be reminded that anxiety, grief, exhaustion, and struggle are not signs that we have failed. They are part of being human. And still, we are told: you are cared for. You are not abandoned. You are not facing the fire alone.

Again and again throughout the service, the music reaches toward closeness. Not performance. Not perfection. Presence.

A room filled with people singing softly (or even loudly) together.
A prayer whispered because it is all we can manage.
A soul finally becomes still after carrying too much for too long.
The quiet courage of continuing to love each other in a fractured world.

Saturday evening we will also continue leaning toward the coming season of Pentecost, toward breath and Spirit and renewal, toward the possibility that grace still moves among ordinary people gathered in ordinary rooms. Sometimes the holiest thing we can do is simply show up for one another with open hearts.

As always, there is room for every part of you at Faith@Five:
the joyful parts,
the weary parts,
the hopeful parts,
the uncertain parts,
the parts still healing.

Come sit among friends.
Come sing if you wish.
Come simply listen if that is what your spirit needs.

And if your week has left you tired beyond words, perhaps tomorrow evening can become a small resting place for your soul.

We begin at 4:55 PM.

With love and gratitude,
Robert
Faith@Five Worship & Music Ministry

P.S. Next Saturday we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost at Faith@Five, and the musicians will offer an extended instrumental prelude from 4:45–5:00 PM before worship begins. Come early and let the music carry you gently into the evening.

Come Holy Spirit, We Need You,

Robert 💜

Dear Faith@Five Community,
Taize Eucharist from 5:00-6:00 PM - chapel
Beatles Sing-Along Recital 6:00-6:45 PM - chapel

This Saturday evening, we gather again in the candlelit quiet of the chapel for our Spring Taizé Contemplative Eucharist, a service shaped by silence, prayer, gentle song, and the steady reminder that none of us walks through this world alone.

There are seasons when the soul feels thirsty for rest. Seasons when the world feels loud, uncertain, or heavy, and we long for a softer place to set down what we are carrying. This Taize service was created for moments like those.

Together, we will pray through silence and chant, through words about courage and compassion, and through reminders that love does not abandon us, even in fear, grief, exhaustion, or uncertainty. We will hear again the promise that we are not orphaned, not forgotten, not left behind. We will sing of mercy deeper than guilt, peace beside still waters, and the quiet healing that comes when people gather gently in the presence of God and one another.

Because this is a contemplative Taizé service, the congregation is invited to remain seated throughout the liturgy, including during the prayers and Eucharistic Prayer, until the time comes to receive Communion. We hope this helps clear up any confusion about standing/sitting and creates a peaceful and prayerful atmosphere where everyone may simply breathe, listen, reflect, and rest.

And after the final candlelight fades, the evening will open into joy.

Please stay afterward for our final Faith@Five Recital Series event of the season: an interactive Beatles Sing-Along with the Choir and Faith@Five musicians. We will lift our voices together in songs that have carried generations through longing, tenderness, memory, heartbreak, hope, and sunlight breaking through clouds. There is something quietly holy about a room full of people singing familiar melodies together. Like passing around old photographs that still warm the hands.

Come for the silence.
Stay for the singing.
Bring your whole self.

There is a place for you here.
There always has been.

With a Little Help from My Friends,

Robert 💜

Dear Faith@Five Community, (in the church today)

This Saturday at 5 PM, we will gather again at Faith@Five in the church, and the shape of this service is one of grounding… of being steadied, even when life feels uncertain.

We begin with a sense of calling. Not a loud demand, but something quieter and deeper… the invitation to offer ourselves as a place where goodness can live and grow. To become, in our own lives, something set apart for healing, for peace, and for love.

From there, the music and readings move into trust. The kind that leans on a Shepherd’s care… the kind that remembers we are led, even when we don’t see the whole path. It is a reminder that guidance doesn’t come through force, but through Presence.

We also hear the tension of the human story… of rejection, of standing firm when the world pushes back, of voices that speak truth even when it costs something. And yet, what is cast aside (“The Stone which the builders rejected…”) is not lost. It becomes the very foundation upon which something stronger is built.

Right alongside that strength is refuge. A place to hide, to be safe, to be known without having to prove anything. A steady voice that says: your times are held, your life is not slipping through your fingers. You are seen. You are protected.

At the heart of it all is a simple but powerful choice… to follow. Not perfectly, not without doubt, but with intention. To say yes again, even in small ways. To trust that the path we walk is held within something larger than ourselves.

And in the end, everything turns toward gratitude… toward giving thanks for the grace that carries us, the community that surrounds us, and the love that does not let us go.

Come be part of this hour. Come stand on that foundation. Come rest in that shelter.

Saturday at 5 PM.
There’s a place here for you.

With care,

Robert 💜

This Saturday - Service Music:
Voluntary: Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life (The Call, V. Williams)
Introit: Lord Prepare Me to Be a Sanctuary
Hymn: Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Hymn: The Stone Which the Builders Rejected (Farrell)
Offertory: You Are My Hiding Place (Ledner, canon)
Communion: O God, You are My God Along (Iona, ‘Resignation’)
Hymn: I Have Decided to Follow Jesus (LEVAS #136)

Dear Faith@Five Community,
[TODAY: 4:55 PM in the Church]

There’s a moment we return to each year shortly after the Easter Vigil… a quiet walk at the end of a long day.

Two people, carrying disappointment, confusion, and a kind of grief that hasn’t quite found words yet. We sort of know how that feels, don’t we? They talk it out as they walk, trying to make sense of everything that has happened. And without even realizing it, they are not alone.

This Saturday, we step back onto the Road to Emmaus together.

We gather to sing and pray not because everything is clear, not because our faith is perfect or polished, but because we know what it is to carry questions… to feel worn, uncertain, even a little distant. And still, somehow, we keep walking.

There is something comforting waiting for us in that story.

A Presence that meets us exactly where we are… not where we wish we were.

And a moment—simple, familiar, almost easy to miss—when everything shifts, and we begin to see again.

Eyes opened. Hearts stirred. Hope rising from somewhere deep within.

And then, just as quickly, the realization that we were never alone on the road at all.

This Saturday at Faith@Five, we’ll gather as a community to remember that kind of Presence—the One that finds us, restores us, and gently calls us back into trust, into love, into one another.

We will sing. We will pray.
We will break bread together.

And in that breaking, we may just recognize something we didn’t even realize we were searching for.

Come walk with us. There is a place for you here. There always has been.

With love,

Robert 💜

Dear Faith@Five Community,

Happy Easter. ♥️

Eastertide is when breath returns to places that felt closed, where hearts that have carried weight begin to lift.

This Saturday at 5 PM, we’ll gather in the chapel — a more intimate space, a little closer together — and I hope you’ll come be part of it.

We’ll hear a word from our Youth Preacher, Ben Paglinauan-Warner, and be led by The Rev. Josh Laws, our Celebrant. There’s something especially honest about hearing faith spoken through younger voices—not polished, not forced… like someone standing in the doorway between doubt and belief and choosing to step forward anyway.

This week’s story holds that same tension.

A room closed tight.
Fear in the air.
Questions that won’t settle.

And then, right there in the middle of it…
“Peace be with you.”

Not after everything is figured out.
Not once the doubts are gone.
Right in the middle of it.

Even the one who said, “I need to see… I need to touch… I need something real,” was not pushed away. Thomas was invited closer.

That’s the kind of community we’re building together.

A place where faith doesn’t have to pretend.
Where questions aren’t a problem to fix.
Where breath returns, slowly… gently…
and we begin to rise again.

We will sing words that ask for that very thing:

Come fill this place.
Revive our hearts.
Wake us from where we’ve been asleep.

And later:

When I am weak, you are my strength.
When I fall down, you pick me up.
When I am dry, you fill my cup.

That’s Easter, too.

Not just something that happened once…
but something that keeps happening — in us.
A quiet, steady joy that doesn’t depend on having everything resolved.
A path of life unfolding, even when we can’t see the whole road yet.

So come, just as you are. Whether your faith feels strong…or fragile…or somewhere in between…There is a place for you here. There always has been.

I’ll be there at the piano, holding the space with you, and I’d be so glad to see you.

With love,

Robert 💜

April 4th at 7 PM: The Church of the Redeemer's Easter Vigil, hosted by Faith@Five

Dear Faith@Five Community,

This year, we need the LIGHT to shine in—to remind us we are not alone, that hope is still alive, and that renewal is possible. I invite you to one of the most meaningful and beautiful services of the church year: our Easter Vigil, this Saturday at 7:00 PM.

We’ll gather inside the church, by candlelight, for a 60–75 minute service shaped by music, scripture, silence, and joy. This ancient tradition—the Great Vigil of Easter—begins in darkness and moves gently into light, inviting us to walk together from sorrow to celebration.

It’s not about doctrine or dogma, but about letting the story speak to our own lives: the waiting, the struggle, the transformation, the dawn.

This year’s Vigil will still feel simple and heartfelt. We'll include just four Old Testament readings (no sermon, no offertory), but the whole arc of Easter will still be there—from the first spark of fire to the bursting joy of the resurrection. There’s no movement around the church campus as in past years; we’ll stay gathered together in our usual space in the church, letting the music and candles shape the journey.

And we’ll be surrounded by sound: our choir will lead us in chanting three Psalms, offering a moving and powerful Easter anthem at Communion, and joining with our Faith@Five Musicians Ensemble—flute, timpani, percussion, piano, organ, guitar, and bass—for a joyful close with Jesus Christ is Risen Today.

If you have bells, tambourines, or anything that makes a joyful noise—bring them! Let’s end this service in celebration.

So come as you are. Come if your heart is heavy. Come if you need a reminder that the story isn’t over, that dawn still comes. Come and stand with others in hope.

We begin at 7 PM—around sundown—and I’d be honored to share this sacred experience with you again!

With Hope & Love,
Robert

Dear Faith@Five Community,

There are moments in life when we feel worn down…like the strength has drained out of our bones. This Saturday at Faith@Five, we gather right in that place, not to pretend things are easy. Not to rush past the hard parts. But to listen for something deeper…a quiet stirring that says even what feels lifeless is not beyond renewal.

We’ll hear a story of restoration—of breath returning where there was none, of hearts learning again how to hope.

We will be reminded that we are not carried by our own strength alone, but by grace… again and again.

This is a service shaped simply for Lent—space to reflect, to pray, to sing together, and to be reminded that there is still a Rock beneath your feet.

And maybe most importantly…a quiet call to be that light for someone else. Because there are people all around us carrying more than we can see.

If you need a place to breathe…to be restored—come to church this Saturday.

There is a place for you here. There always has been.
Stay a little after, if you can. There’s always room for a conversation, a laugh, or just being together.

Peace & Love,
Robert ♥️

Dear Faith@Five Community,

On a weekend like this, when the cold settles in deep and the environment around us feels sharp and divided, Faith@Five becomes something more than a service. It becomes a place of warmth and safety. A place where the lights are already on. A place where no one has to stand outside and wonder if there’s room.

This Saturday evening we gather around a simple but powerful truth: Light is not meant to be hidden, and Love is not meant to be hoarded. Again and again, our music reminds us that hope is something we practice together, not a feeling we wait for. That joy is an act of courage. That peace is something we place into each other’s hands and carry into the world.

The songs we’ll share speak plainly and honestly. They come from traditions that know struggle and still choose praise. They ask us to loosen the grip of injustice, to repair what has been broken, and to keep our lamps trimmed and burning for those who are tired, lost, or pushed to the margins. They invite us to trust not in clever words or empty promises, but in a Spirit that shows up most clearly when we gather in humility, tenderness, and truth.

In a time when so many voices are dismissed or silenced, music becomes a form of resistance. Not loud resistance. Faithful resistance – similar to the music of the Civil Rights Era. The kind of music that keeps showing up, keeps singing, keeps reminding, keeps making room at the table. The kind that says: You belong here. There is a place for you.

If you are weary, come rest.
If you are searching, come listen.
If you are new, come as you are.
If you’ve been here forever, come help keep the light burning.

We look forward to being together, sharing songs, breaking bread, and sending one another back out into the cold carrying something warm and ALIVE.

With LIGHT & HOPE,
Robert ♥️
