VOLUNTARY Marche Religieuse
Charles Gounod (Please use the opening voluntary as a time of silent meditation and preparation for worship.)
† CALL TO WORSHIP One:
How good and pleasant it is, when kindred live together in unity!
Many: It is like a fragrant perfume, surrounding us with a crisp aroma. One:
It is like fresh dewfall on a mountaintop, with sprawling vistas set before us.
Many: Where we gather, God has commanded blessings. A dream of life everlasting has fallen on us.
