This week with the beginning of Lent, our theme for corporate worship, in addition to the Sunday readings, compels us to be mindful of issues of hungry insecurity and the need for clean water in the US and around the world. In our worship music the theme will be expressed by our use of the ancient song, "Agnus dei," "Lamb of God." Generally this text is said or sung just prior to communion; we will use it at the confession rite, and sing anthem settings of it. We will also begin a season-long art project in FirstLight which will help us heighten our awareness using visual art.
