Note on today’s anthem: This is a piece that the choir has sung before.  It has an appropriate text for the resumption of choir activities!  Since the choir has enjoyed this piece, and it is now in our hymnbook (#763), we thought the congregation would enjoy learning it.  It will be one of the regular hymns next week, and again later in the fall season.  Both text and music are by the American composer Robert Lowry. (Karen Holmes)
