What do a Welsh football (soccer) game and a typical American church service have in common? Depending on how many levels deep one looks, perhaps quite a lot. But for our purposes in this article, the correct answer is ... corporate singing! I have been told of—and I’ve seen on video—stadiums full of Welshmen singing out their national anthem or even “Cwm Rhondda” (“Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”) at an athletic event. ...

GriefShare Program Offers Support and Community
St. Philip’s first GriefShare course finished up at the end of April. What a privilege it was for me, Juanita Orvin, and Gerry McCord to facilitate this strong grief support program!

Here’s what a few folks said about their experience:...
