Announcements At the Offertory                    From the dawning of creation                      Vocalists From the dawning of creation, God was present in the Word. And the Word was God eternal, source of all that came to be. Jesus is that Word eternal. Jesus is the Word of life. ● Light appeared in deepest darkness. Night was ended, morning dawned. And that light is ever burning, brightness never overcome. Jesus is that Light eternal. Jesus is the Word of life. ● Human eyes have seen God’s glory; human hands have touched God’s own. In our likeness here among us, dwells the Word of God made flesh. Jesus is that Word incarnate. Jesus is the Word of life.  Words: Delores Dufner, OSB (b. 1939)  Music: Timeless Love, Norman Warren (b. 1934)   The Holy Communion The Breaking of the Bread                                               At the Communion             The heavens are not too high                       Vocalist    Words: George Herbert (1593-1633) Music: MacDougall,  Calvin Hampton (1938-1984) Antiphon: Let all the world in every corner sing, my God and King!
