Message from the Dean:

We Honor Canon Bruce Neswick Sunday Afternoon!!

From The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler
Dean of the Cathedral of St. Philip

This Sunday, 18 May, 2008, marks the last official day of Bruce Neswick’s ministry at the Cathedral of St. Philip. He has served faithfully and skillfully for over eight years here, and we wish him well in God’s next chapter for him.

Following the 11:15 service, the Cathedral choirs hold their annual lunch and celebration of ministry in Child Hall. That time will be important for both recognition of jobs well done, and for opportunities to bless our futures.

Later this Sunday, at 3:15 p.m., Bruce Neswick will play his last recital as Canon for Music at the organ. That recital will be tremendous, as have been all of Bruce’s concerts here. The Choir of Girls, Boys, and Adults will sing Evensong at 4:00 p.m.

Then, following Evensong and Communion, at 5:30 p.m., we will have an opportunity to hold a special reception for Bruce Neswick alone. Both the Cathedral parish and the Atlanta musical community are invited to join us in the Gould Room at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, in order to thank Bruce and to wish him well. Join us!
