First Pres has been given the great gift of a talented composer-in-residence who is writing new music for us. We have the privilege to premier the first of his compositions on October 30. It is a special thing to put flesh on the bones of a new piece of music. And we need as many able-voiced singers as possible to make it successful.
Zeb Highben has set a beautiful text from the Old Testament book of Jeremiah. The piece features choir, organ and brass and was conceived an entree into the reading of the Jeremiah text, followed by a response which incorporates the hymn The God of Abraham Praise. It is a lovely combination of proclamation and comfort.
This Sunday we have the privilege of bringing this new piece of music to life. You are crucially needed for it to be successful. Plan to be with us at 9:15 am.
