This week is World Communion and my plan is to offer music at both services from around the world. The only place that will be un-represented is Antarctica; funny, I just couldn't fine music from that region!
At FirstLight:
North America: the spiritual Glory, glory hallelujah
Europe: the hymn Praise to the Lord the Almighty, paired with
Africa: Come all you people (Uyaimose)
Asia: Mark Sedio's setting of the Lord's Prayer to a Cambodian tune
South America: Tuya es la gloria (We sing of your glory)
Oceania: a Hillsong tune to be determined
At 11AM:
North America: Doug Wagner's anthem Santus
South America: Tuya es la gloria (We sing of your glory)
Asia: Mark Sedio's setting of the Lord's Prayer to a Cambodian tune
Afica: Jikelele, from the songbook, To everyone born
Oceania: A Tongan prayer song
Europe: the hymn Praise to the Lord the Almighty
I think it's a testimony to our global awareness that most of the songs that we're not already planning to sing at both services, easy could be sung by both gatherings. The musicians have worked long and hard to learn a huge array of music in many, many styles, and our congregation really seems to appreciate and join in with all of it.
