Video Why We Joined St. Andrew s Anthem For I Am Called by Thy Name Crawford Gates St. Andrew s Choir and Orchestra Thy words were found, and I did eat them, And thy word was unto me, The joy and rejoicing, of my heart; For I am called by thy name, I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Video This Church in Time of Need Hymn Anchoring the Dream Kathy Donlan Tunseth Holy Gospel Mark 12:41-44 Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on. Praise to you, O Christ. 4
