This Sunday's...

Anthem:

The God of Second Chances

By David Haas

For all who long to start over, to begin again.  

This is a hymn of both personal and communal self-inventory, calling for reconciliation and renewal.

Communion Hymn:

The Summons

The first four stanzas of this ballad-like hymn are understood to be in the voice of Christ, with the fifth reflecting the individual singer's response.  Created for this traditional Scottish tune, the text was written to mark the conclusion of a youth volunteer's time of ministry.
