Special Music in Worship
Sunday, March 9, 10:45am

The six motets of Johann Sebastian Bach occupy a unique place in

works. To enrich our worship during the season of Lent, the Chancel
Choir, soloists and instrumental ensemble will perform the most substantial

Based on a seventeenth century chorale tune by Johann Crüger,
Bach takes the text by Johann Franck and weaves it together with texts
from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, Chapter 8, to form a beautiful
piece of musical and theological architecture.
That morning, choir member Scott Stratton-Smith will give a preview
of the piece during the Adult Faith Development at 9:30am in Johnston
Hall.
Funds for the purchase of the music for this
presentation were give by friends and family to the glory of God and
in loving memory of Lois Gillaspie. An offering will be received to
support future special music presentations.
