The Congregationalist Minister and poet, Jeremiah Eames Rankin, who wrote the lyrics to this hymn was the brother of my grandmother. He was minister in a Washington D. C. church and a president of Howard University. Every of my my Cleveland School of the Arts graduates attended services or performed in the Andrew Rankin Chapel at Howard - a chapel that was build by donations and dedicated to Jeremiah's brother (who is also my great grand uncle).

Saint Alban's Friends -
I just got this from Eugene King

Jonathan: Caroline King's 95th birthday is October 12th.

She is still living in her own apartment and is as feisty and independent minded as ever.

In the past, I have encouraged you to send her e-mail greetings, but she is no longer able to see a computer screen.

She can, however, still read cards and other mail with the help of an electronic magnifier and she loves to receive mail.

So, it would be great if you could send her a birthday card.

I am going to see her next week to start celebrating early. At 95, you cannot have too many birthday parties.

Thanks, in advance. I know that she will enjoy and appreciate your cards.

PM me for her address.

Just heard that Vera Coughlin, a member of our Saint Alban's community, has passed away. Vera had been a member of Saint Alban's for many years.
Rest in peace, Vera.

From her obituary notice:
"Vera was interred alongside her Mother, Rowena, in a private ceremony at Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland Heights on June 13 2019.
A Funeral/Memorial service will be held at Wade Memorial Chapel in Lakeview Cemetery, 12316 Euclid Ave, Cleveland at 1100 on Monday, July 22 2019. Please note there are no restrooms at the chapel, but are available elsewhere in the cemetery.
A lunch to remember Vera will be held following the service with details to be confirmed.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Vera's name may be made to the Cleveland Animal Protective League, 1729 Willey Ave, Cleveland. OH 44113"

This view of Saint Alban's is the church I attended as a teen, young adult, parent, and lay worship leader. Even though it was rebuilt this is how I will always remember it.

Friends of Saint Alban's Episcopal Church, Cleveland Heights. In accordance with the desires of the Diocese of Ohio, this FB group will close the end of this month. I will be establishing a FB Memory Group Page and will send you all invites to join us there and share memories of the church, its people and its mission. You also will be able to post pics from the past 100+ years of Saint Alban's.
Additionally the website will not be renewed when it expires. Changes will be made in the next few days. Stay tuned!
