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.
The Transfiguration: We sang this song to enter into the story of the Transfiguration.
Pulse: This song offered us language to petition God to reconnect our hearts to our interconnectivity with all of creation.
The Word Is Yet Flesh: This song is a petition to the One in whom all things hold together to hold us together and breathe the Spirit of life anew into our collective body.
Trusty and True: This is a song about reconciliation.
Wayward Ones: This is our communion hymn, and it contemplates Christ's self-giving love that is displayed and remembered in the eucharist.
Doxology: We close our time together each week with this proclamation that God is worthy of praise from every inch of the cosmos.
