St. John the Divine Rededication Services
St. John the Divine, Champaign, Illinois, has rededication services planned for this fall. Stephen Buzard will serve as Organ Scholar for the services during the University of Illinois Alumni Reunion weekend. A special highlight will be the premiere of an anthem commissioned from a former member of the Chapel choir, Michael Sitton. The text for the anthem is taken from the motto which encircles the new rose window above the altar:
O quam metuendus est locus iste! Vere non est hic alliud, nisi domus Dei, e porta caeli.
O how awesome is this place! Truly this is non other than the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
