THE ORGAN Scherzo MAURICE DURUFLÉ THE MCGAFFIN CARILLON 4 ollowing the tradition of many great houses of worship in the United States and F Europe, the Church of the Covenant celebrates the role of the pipe organ in its capacity to lead worship through supportive accompaniment and inspiring repertoire. Postludes may on occasion extend longer than the time period some may wish to remain in the sanctuary. If you feel the need to leave early, please do so quietly out of respect for those who wish to remain. 7

10 ABOUT OUR SERVICE TODAY MUSIC NOTES Our music for Pentecost Sunday comes from multiple traditions. The service begins with the choral prelude Komm Heiliger Geist (Come Holy Spirit) as set by the North German Baroque composer Dietrich Buxtehude (c ). Published in 1524, the chorale s text was written by Martin Luther and set to an adaptation of the Gregorian chant Veni Sancte Spiritus. For the introit, the choir sings the 9 th century Gregorian chant Veni Creator Spiritus accompanied by handbells. Herbert Howells set the anthem My Eyes for Beauty Pine to a text by Robert Bridges in Its poignant text reminds us that the celestial fire of Pentecost is rooted in heavenly Love. Two works by the 20 th century French composer Maurice Duruflé emphasize the peace and tranquility of the Spirit: his motet Ubi caritas and Scherzo, Op. 2 for organ. The choir concludes the choral season with Peter Lutkin s famous benediction, The Lord Bless You and Keep You. We thank all of our dedicated singers for another wonderful year of music and worship.

BELIEVING GOD CALLS US TO BE PEACEMAKERS, by Session action, we include in the Prayer of Thanksgiving, Intercession and Petition, once each month, specific concern for people affected by gun violence and addressing the evil of gun violence in our nation, marked by the tolling of the tower bell. THE 2014 PEACEMAKING OFFERING IS RECEIVED IN WORSHIP TODAY. The Peacemaking Offering gives us a concrete way of living and working in response to Christ s call to be peacemakers. Seventy-five percent of the offering funds the Peacemaking Program of our denomination, enabling us to bring International Peacemakers, share conferences and advocate for active non-violent solutions to conflicts, and equipping all Presbyterians to bear witness to ways we can live out our faith in the midst of the challenge of violence. The Outreach and Social Justice Committee has designated our portion of the 2014 Peacemaking Offering as a gift to the Grafton Community Service Program that provides opportunities for the inmates at the Grafton Reintegration Center to serve the larger community. The creation of teddy bears for Ohio Cops for Kids is one project the Covenant congregation has facilitated. Ohio Cops for Kids provides the teddy bears to police, firefighters and other first responders to give to children who have been involved in traumatic incidents. The teddy bears scattered in the sanctuary pews will be shared with children through Ohio Cops for Kids. Giving a Statement of Opportunity this morning is Jim Tomaszewski, a member of the Outreach and Social Justice Committee. An offering envelope is inserted in the bulletin for your use. 9
