How They Fit In:
There are many ways to think about the significance of songs and the way they fit together–-this is simply one way you can look at these songs in light of this week’s theme.
Wild One: We sang this song to begin our time together to focus our attention on the God who is greater than our most polished theological systems can account for.
All Creatures of Our God and King: This song invites us to contemplate our familial relationship and unity with all of creation.
Fall Afresh: We sang this song to invite the Spirit to refresh the dry places within us and to reinvigorate our being formed in the way of Christ.
The Word Is Yet Flesh: This song is a plea for the One in whom all things hold together to hold together the fractured body of Christ.
Wayward Ones: This is our communion hymn, and it contemplates Christ's self-giving love that is displayed and remembered in the eucharist.
Pulse: We sang this song to petition the Spirit to reawaken us to our interconnectivity and to teach us to love one another as Christ loved us.
Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.
