Evensong “We Gather Together”
St. Olaf College | Dakota County Minnesota
“We Gather Together” is a hymn of Dutch origin that dates back to the late 16th century. It was written in 1597 to celebrate the Dutch victory over Spanish forces in the Battle of Turnhout, part of the Eighty Years’ War. The hymn’s original Dutch title is “Wilt heden nu treden,” and it was composed by Adrianus Valerius with the music arranged by Eduard Kremser.
The hymn expresses gratitude for deliverance from oppression and has been associated with themes of thanksgiving and communal celebration. It was brought to America by Dutch settlers and became widely popular in the United States, particularly for its use during Thanksgiving services and celebrations.
The English version, commonly sung in the United States and Canada, was translated by Theodore Baker in 1894. Over time, “We Gather Together” has become a beloved hymn in North America, often sung at Thanksgiving gatherings and religious services to express gratitude and unity.
Apples
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens when you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness.
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
— Louise Erdich, “The Painted Drum” (Center for Great Plains Studies)

*In the United States, requirements for school bond millage elections vary by state and jurisdiction. In some states, school boards are required to show school bond millage on voter ballots, while in others, it is not required.
For example, in Michigan, school bond millage proposals must appear on the ballot with a specific title, such as “School Bond Proposal” or “School Building and Site Proposal,” along with a description of the proposed millage rate and how the funds will be used. In other states, such as California, the ballot must include the total amount of the bond measure and an estimate of the tax rate levied to repay the bond.
It’s important to check with the specific state and jurisdiction where the school bond millage election is taking place to determine the exact requirements for the ballot.
