  • Choir: Psalm 84 setting by Frenand de la Tombelle
    Lovely are thy dwellings, O Lord, thy habitation, My soul cries out for thee, O Lord, with exaltation. Sparrows and swallows make their nest At thine altars, O Lord of hosts. Blessed are those who dwell with thee, They sing thy praises now and forever. For the Lord our God is our sun, our shield forever He grants to us all that we need by his good favor. One day within thy courts, O Lord, Is far better than thousands elsewhere. Blessed are those who trust in thee, They go from strength to strength in thy presence. My King and my God.
  • Reading: Colossians 1:15-20 View
    He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
