Music for Sunday 9/23

Congregational song at FirstLight will begin with Laurie Klein's passionate chorus, "I Love, You, Lord," followed by "I Give You My All," "Reign In Me," and "Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord." The third song will be new to some, but is easily learned. The concluding song will be Dan Schutte's hymn of call and commitment, "Here I Am, Lord." The Prophets will be singing a Brazilian worship song, "Cantad al Senor" at the offering. Perrin Todd has been working overtime, brushing up his Hispanic-style playing skills!

The Chancel Choir will sing John Rutter's "Te Deum" at 11 AM. Accompanied by organ (our own Carla Sperry) and brass, this will be a thrilling musical element in our worship this week. Brass players contracted for this presentation include Julie Howard, David Pressley, our own Anna McClintock, Peter Schlecht, Todd Sessoms, Dave Oakley and Will Talley. We welcome these players as part of this special music presentation. Hymns for worship will be "Ye Servants of God" (Hanover), "God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending" (Beach Spring), and "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less" (Solid Rock). Organ music by Flor Peeters, Max Reger, and John Heron is also part of the musical lineup.
