THE YEARNING

Abstract

The words ofSt. Augustine echo the restlessness in today's culture a yearning in hearts weighed down by sorrow and emptiness; a yearning that waits for the Light. Today's hymn festival explores an avenue for finding peace through an intentional remembrance of the earthly life ofJesus through the repetition represented in the church's "sacred cycle," or liturgical year. You're invited to fully participate in this service of singing. Hymns listed with a number can be found in the pew hymnal. Others are included in this worship guide. In responsive readings, please read the bold print.
