FirstLight worship will include a liturgical dance choreographed by two high school students, Caroline P. and Kelly P. Dancing as part of our prayer time, they have set “Prayer for a friend” as performed by Casting Crowns. Learn more: under the album "The Altar and the Door," click on the song title to read more about the song. Home on Christmas break one more morning, we were able to tap the talents of Lauren P. to sing at the offering “Do they see Jesus in me” written by Joy Williams, from her self-titled album .
Worship at 11 AM will be special in that we are hosting the congregation from Montreat PC(USA) this Sunday. That congregation will be sharing liturgical leadership as well as music leadership. Members of their choir will join our choir in the anthem, and their music leader (and all-around go-getter) Margaret N. will perform a piano-organ duet with Mike Barker. This piece is a new work by Joel Raney, a stirring medley of familiar hymns. The choir anthem will be Claude Bass’s (b. 1935) classic “Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts.” The text has been around for centuries and here receives an incredibly lush treatment, reminiscent of Gabriel Faure in its harmonies.
