SUMMARY:Contemplative Worship at FRS: Touching the Sacred Within
DESCRIPTION:Sanctuary\, first Sunday of the month\, led by Rev. Alan Seale. \nContemplation has been described as “a long loving look at the real” and “a pure intuition of being\, born of love” (21st-century mystic William McNamara). \nJoin Rev. Alan Seale at 8am on the first Sunday of the month for a half-hour contemplative worship experience—a space and time to be present with the simplicities and complexities of life in the quiet embrace of the FRS Sanctuary. \nThe sanctuary will be open to welcome you from 7:50am. The service will include quiet piano music\, a brief message or reading\, and periods of silent reflection and meditation. If this contemplative worship experience calls out to you\, we hope you will join us.

In venues from NYC’s Lincoln Center to the San Francisco Blues Festival\, the Moscow International Performing Arts Centre to Le Meridien Etoile’s Jazz Club in Paris\, he has collaborated with scores of world-class musicians. Jay McShann\, Albert Collins\, Louis Bellson\, Joe Williams\, James Cotton\, Billy Boy Arnold\, Otis Clay\, Gerald Levert\, Joey McIntyre\, Bobby Brown\, Taj Mahal\, The Fabulous Thunderbirds\, Victor Wainwright\, and Roomful of Blues are but a handful of world-renowned artists who have recognized his extraordinary talent.

Chris was studying classical piano and became a member of National Piano Guild from ages 5-15 before being taken under the wing of legendary jazz musician and theorist Les Harris Sr. at the age of 13. As lead singer and songwriter\, Chris helped form nationally touring indie rock band The Brew and performed alongside The Black Keys\, Michael McDonald\, Bruce Hornsby\, The Allman Brothers and many more. In 2015 Chris formed his company CP Pro Audio Inc. to pursue film scoring which was his major during his time at Berklee College of Music.

His work with local lyricist /artist Betsy Woodman has seen over 6 albums released and the duo have written for NBC Sports coverage of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. \nJoshua Schultz is a bassist and educator living in Groveland MA. After starting his musical journey on the cello\, Joshua found his passion on the upright bass at age 13\, starting his professional career on the instrument by 15. After a recommendation by Chris Plante\, Joshua studied with Les Harris Sr. and expanded his musical horizon.  Under the mentorship of bassist Keala Kaumeheiwa\, Joshua is studying classical & jazz music on the upright bass; with pianist Rusty Scott\, Joshua is learning jazz piano; with guitarist Al Whitney\, Joshua is studying guitar. Combined with Les’ teachings\, Joshua continues to widen his understanding of small ensemble music. \nPlease come and join us at 730 PM In the Sanctuary for jazz and poetry and a chance to unwind midweek with a stellar ensemble. \nVespers is free – bring some friends!
