Welcome! You may have come as a stranger to us, yet you are known to our Lord, Jesus
Christ. In His name, we pray you will find peace, hospitality and friendship with us.
Conjugal love, lived in fidelity to God’s original plan, is to be one of the principal manifestations of the kingdom proclaimed by Jesus. Through baptism into into Christ, we join with him in having one and the same Father.

Honor and Help Our Veterans in Need on October 30-31 & November 6-7, 2021 Veterans that reside at the Veterans’ Victory House in Walterboro need: health and hygiene supplies, games, books (large and regular print), newspapers, magazines, hats, gloves, sunglasses, regular glasses and clothing. From its birth more than 245 years ago, the United States has maintained a tradition of caring for citizens who have served in her military. When there was a need, these Veterans answered the call. And now, our country recognizes and honors its obligations to do the same for them. The Veterans’ Victory House in Walterboro SC is a modern testimony to this ongoing commitment. Honorably discharged Veterans who are residents of South Carolina and in need of skilled or intermediate nursing home care reside at the 220 bed Victory House facility. In most cases this is their final residence. Please Honor and Help Our Veterans in Need by bringing items from the above list to the Church on October 30 -31 & November 6-7 and place them in the collection boxes in the rear of church. If you would like to donate to the Veterans’ Victory House, make out a check payable to Veterans Victory Group and give it to the Knight standing by the collection box. Contact Andy Folz if you have questions at [email protected] or 812-430-0950.
St. Theresa Music Ministry - 'The Hymns we Sing' - 'When Love is Found' by Brian Wren b.1936.
Melody :- 'O Waly Waly' - folk song (authorship unknown)
The gentle song ' When Love is Found' is included in our Mass today as the gifts are prepared and
the offertory taken. Brian Wren was born in Sussex in the South of England, served in the British
Army for two years and attended Oxford University for both B.A. and Ph.D. He was ordained a
minister in the United Reformed Church (U.R.C.) in 1965. Brian, a teacher and prolific hymn writer
(of over 250 hymns!), moved to the United States and became a citizen. He married United
Methodist minister, Rev. Susan Heafield, and the couple have worked together on many hymn
collections. Brian retired in 2006; he is Professor of Worship (emeritus) at Columbia Theological
Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. 'When Love is Found' was published in 1983. Brian Wren composed
the words for two weddings, neither of which he was able to attend. The first wedding was of his
brother Keith to bride Sandra in Bombay, and the second was his friend, Gill, and groom Percy,
marrying in Scotland. Brian set the words to the well known folk tune ' O Waly Waly', - a lovely
beseeching melody with a 'Celtic' feel (though the Irish, Scots and English have laid some claim to
it!). It seems that its origins may be in 17th century Scotland. Using this melody, 'The Water is
Wide' is a very well known folk song in the United States and Ireland. 'When Love is Found' offers a
sweet tribute to love and its enduring and vital nature. The poetry explores the joy and the many
faces of love, and offers a portrait that can be adapted to apply to other relationships too (familial,
friendship for example). Brian's song describes the journey of emotion, character and spirituality
that is taken with love between two people. In the first verse, the poet sets a scene of great
celebration in keeping with the marriage day,- love is found, hope secured, and two become one. He
links his poetry with theology in the first verse and again in the last two verses. In the first, he
speaks of celebration and gives praise to God for His intentional plan. In the next verses he speaks
of the building years, where from the stability and base of home we learn to reach out in service
towards truth and light. Through a lens of wisdom, the hymn acknowledges that love is tried, we
face change, and we ' hold still to hope'. As we grow older, so our love is wiser; we add empathy and
understanding as we truly see and hear more clearly. At the close of the hymn we sing of those
times where sorrow and grief enter our lives, - we may become aquainted with the torn love of
betrayal, or love tired or tried, lost or out of sight through bereavement. Here Brian weaves into the
gentle lines the image of God to whom we pray in order to gain strength until these 'torments fade'.
Hints of forgiveness and redemption are given in this verse 'till loves keep no score of wrong', but
emphasis falls upon the last line 'but hear through pain loves Easter song'. Our connection to the
Resurrected Lord is mentioned here and taken up again in the final verse, to raise our hearts with
hope and love 'through death and life in broken bread'. Here we come to the close, and the heart of
the hymn, - our hope in the Eucharist, our Lord's body, broken for us that we might have life. God is
love, - this is our hope. 'God is love, and whoever abides in love ,abides in God, and God abides in
him'....(1 John 4:16)
'Dear friends, let us love one another, for love is from God' . (1 John 4: 7) May we praise God today
for His great mercies and gift of love, which draw us to Himself, our Hope and our Living Water
In the words of the poet/ hymnist, let us: 'Praise God for love, Praise God for life,
in age or youth, in calm or strife,
Lift up your hearts, let love be fed,
through death and life, in broken bread'.
