of Festivals, the service will weave together liturgy from the Episcopal tradition and original music by American composer Nolan Williams, Jr., rendered by the NEWorks Voices of America, the St. Mark’s Choir, and the gathered assembly. Through poetry, prayer, and song, we will lift our voices in remembrance and gratitude, honoring those who have gone before us and celebrating the love, courage, and hope that continue to connect us across generations.
