Our pastor is preaching from the Gospel lesson and the overarching theme for August is one of community.
My chancel choir will be singing "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" (arr. Lojeski)
Hymns:
Opening: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord (UMH 540)
Prayer: Into My Heart (Cokesbury 190) - sung each Sunday of the month
Closing: When the Storms of Life are Raging (UMH 512)
Benediction response (full congregation): Forward through the Ages (UMH 555) - refrain only; sung each Sunday of the month
For my early service (more casual than contemporary, but it's contemporary for us), we'll be doing a medley of "More Love, More Power" (Smith) and "Open the Eyes of My Heart" (Baloche). In this service, it's a short medley of singing that opens the half-hour worship service.
I'm planning on opening with
UMH 114 - Many Gift, One Spirit
We always sing our prayer for illumination (Spirit of the Living God)
Middle Hymn - You Are Mine (TFWS 2218)
Closing Hymn - Here I Am, Lord (UMH 593)
Hi, Katie! I like your hymn selections.
I was thinking of a non-existent piece for my anthem; we have a Lojeski arrangement of Just a Closer Walk with Thee. So since my dear friend "Sister Pianist" improvises quite well from a keyboard reduction, we're simply going to sing the Hymnal version of "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" with her playing an improvisational accompaniment. Tried it tonight (with a WAAAAY-small group, durnit) and it worked well.
