This Sunday's Service
"As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my
soul longs for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When
shall I come and behold the face of God?" Psalm 42:1-2.
These opening words from Psalm 42 describe a deep longing
within each one of us. We search for something beyond our everyday lives;
something beyond that which we can explain or control. We call this desire by
many names, but in Christianity we often say it is the sacred or the spiritual.
The Christian church has been many things over the years but whenever it loses
that sense of the Spirit, it usually loses its ability to affect people's lives.
Our worship this Sunday addresses one of the four core values of FCC, the
essence of the Spirit of God that we seek to know in our lives. During Adult
Sunday School time, we will get together to discuss this topic further. How can
FCC convey this sense of the Spirit to the world around us?
This Sunday the Summer Choir will sing Come All Who
Thirst by Luigi Cherubini. Guest organist Mi Wha (Michelle) Choi will play
Suite du ze ton (basse de cromorne) by Louis-Nucolas Cle'rambault,
Prelude BWV 539 by Johann Sebastian Bach, and Sonata No. 5 in D
major, Opus 65 Movement 1. Andante by Felix Mendelssohn. Our
congregational hymns will be As Longs the Deer (O WALY WALY); Come, Living God, When Least
Expected (RENDEZ À DIEU); and Many
Are the Lightbeams (LAGORNA ÄR
MANGA).
