SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 2021

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peterand James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. Andhe was transfiguredbefore them, and his clothes becamedazzling white, suchas no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus… Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!” Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.

— Mark 9:2-4, 7-8

We continue tostay in communityduring these uncertain times.

INVOCATION

ANTHEM The Road Home . . . . . . American folk hymn, adapted by Stephen Paulus The Marble Choir and Festival of Voices; Artemisz Polonyi, soprano Recorded May 18, 2014

Tell me where is the road I can call my own, that I left, that I lost, so long ago? All these years I have wandered, Oh when will I know there’s a way, there’s a road that will lead me home? After wind, after rain, when the dark is done, as I wake from a dream in the gold of day, through the air there’s a calling from far away. There’s a voice I can hear that will lead me home. Rise up, follow Me, come away, is the call, with love in your heart as the only song. There is no such beauty as where you belong. Rise up, follow Me, I will lead you home. — Michael Dennis Browne

PASTORAL PRAYER AND THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

MARBLE’S EASTER OFFERINGThrough our prayers and our gifts, Marble’s Easter Offering has supported Health Advocates for Older People, Inc.*, located in New York City� Their work focuses on promoting safe and healthy aging through a range of programs geared towards the well-being of the elderly including Health Aging Activity programming to promote maintenance of physical and mental health through exercise classes, wellness pro-grams and home safety assessments, and by providing resources and practical support which help the elderly to remain independent and in control of their aging process� Regular activities, all free, are offered six days a week, 52 weeks a year at sites around the city�

Like many other organizations, Health Advocates for Older People has been challenged by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic� Isolation has become a prevailing issue for many and they have been particularly vigilant about reaching out to members of their community and keeping them informed of needed resources� Further, they have been particularly mindful of seniors in their community who do not have access to the internet and have continued to reach out to those members via mail and telephone to ensure that they are connected and remain an important part of the community�

This year, as Marble has done for decades, we will take up an Easter Offering on Easter Sunday, although you can give at any time� Our goal is to raise $220,000, 100% of which will support organizations like the Health Advocates for Older People� No amount is too small and know that whatever you give will help to improve quality of life and give hope to those who need it the most�

Here are ways in which you can give:

• Give online at MarbleChurch.org/give/easter-offering or click on the blue Easter Offering button below the streaming window at MarbleChurch�org

• Text “GIVEMCC EASTER21” to 73256 (standard messaging rates apply)

• Mail checks to Marble Collegiate Church, attention: Easter Offering, or use an Easter Offering Envelope which you will receive in the mail later in March� (please note, processing will take longer)

• Call the Business Office, (212) 686-2770, ext� 252, to give over the phone or get information about making a matching gift�

Thank you for prayerfully considering making a generous contribution to this year’s Easter Offering to help make a positive difference in the lives of others�

Today we present concert pianist Anli Lin Tong, praised for her “exquisite pianism” (Chinese-American News), for her “pointed grace” (Los Angeles Times) and “energy and elation” (The Daily Telegraph). She has performed in Europe, Asia, and the United States as a concerto soloist and chamber musician in presti-gious venues such as the Avery Fisher Hall (now the Geffen Hall) in New York’s Lincoln Center, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Taipei Symphony Hall in Taiwan, and the Bordeaux Opera House in France. As a soloist, she has performed with the Taiwan Symphony in the Taiwan National Arts Festival, the Chinese Fine Arts Orchestra, the Bratislava Chamber Orchestra, the Livic Chamber Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Burbank Philharmonic and the Beach Cities Symphony Or-chestra, among others in concertos ranging from

Mozart, Chopin to Gershwin and Bartók. Her performance of the award-winning Concer-tino for Piano and String Orchestra by KUO Chi-Yuan was praised as the “best rendition of this work” in Taiwan Symphony Review. She was honored by a reception by former Presi-dent LEE Teng-Hui of Taiwan, and subsequent honors include “ACME Artist” recognition by Mu Phi Epsilon International Fraternity of Musicians and “Outstanding Woman in Music Award” by South Bay Chinese Woman’s Association of Los Angeles.

Beginning piano at age five, Anli was awarded First Prize on the first nationally televised competition in Taiwan at age nine. That same year, she received an invitation to study with the legendary Polish pianist and pedagogue Mieczyslaw Munz under the auspices of Taiwan’s Ministry of Education. At The Juilliard School, she was the youngest student in Munz’s class. In 2000, Anli Lin Tong was awarded a full scholarship to undertake doc-toral studies at UCLA, but her D.M.A. course was interrupted by a catastrophic medical condition. After a near miraculous recovery, Anli Lin Tong returned and advanced to candidacy in fall 2018 at UCLA where she is currently completing her doctoral disserta-tion on the life and death allusions in Béla Bartók’s Third Piano Concerto, the final work of the dying composer who raced against time to complete it (short of the last 17-bars) as a farewell gift to his wife Ditta.

Anli Lin Tong credits her late parents, Dr. and Mrs. En-Kwei Lin of Taiwan, for imparting to her the belief in the nobility of the arts as the impetus for the good in humanity. Her late father’s life story - a former political prisoner and surgeon who served his fellow inmates and his Faith community - is a continual source of inspiration. She considers her work as a concert pianist, a teacher, a frequent music lecturer, and adjudicator of competitions all part and parcel of a life of Faith; her greatest joy has been as a mother to daughter and son, Cynthia and Nick.
