ABOUT OUR WORSHIP Appreciation is expressed to David Winkelman for sharing his musical gifts this morning. Today’s Call to Worship and Prayer of Confession were written by Knollwood member Mary Hix. The acolyte is Colette Causby and the crucifer is Virginia Starling. Please silence all electronic devices. Thank you! Printed music used by permission of OneLicense.net #A-724940.

FLOWERS The flowers in the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in memory of Tom Austin by the family. The flowers in the narthex are given to the glory of God and in honor and appreciation of Rachel and Tom

Wiggins for opening their home for the Bible Study group. The white rose on the altar is given by Knollwood Baptist Church in memory of Dr. Timothy Pennell. It is

a symbol of the love and esteem in which this community of faith held him.

ABOUT OUR BANNERS In the Bible and in church tradition, the dove and fire symbolize the Holy Spirit. According to the four

Gospels, the Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove at his baptism (Mark 1:10 and parallels). John the Baptist promised the Messiah would baptize with the Holy Spirit “and with fire” (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16). From Moses’ encounter with God by the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-6) to the tongues of fire at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), fire is a sign of God’s riveting, transforming presence. The Pentecost banner depicts the fire of God’s challenge and the dove of God’s gentle loving care. The artist who designed and painted the Pentecost banner is our own Bambi Setzer.

FOR THE CHILDREN Worship Care is provided for children, infant - kindergarten aged on the first floor of Bldg. B. Children’s

Worship meets on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays of the month for 1st through 3rd graders. During the second hymn, children meet their leaders in the narthex to walk to B244, where their parents will pick up their children after the service. For the 2nd and 4th Sundays children are invited to enjoy the worship service with their families. Children’s activity bulletins and crayons are available in the narthex.

Grace Unbounded

TEXT: Mary Louise Bringle, 2017MUSIC: John Goss (1800-1880)Text © 2017 GIA Publications, Inc.

LAUDA ANIMA8.7.8.7.4.4.7

Commissioned by Knollwood Baptist Church(Winston Salem, North Carolina)

Mary Louise Bringle May 2017

Grace Unbounded 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 LAUDA ANIMA

Commissioned by Knollwood Baptist Church (Winston Salem, NC)

In late April of 2017, I was approached by Ken Wilson, Minister of Music at Knollwood Baptist Church, about the possibility of composing a hymn text to accompany the church’s new logo and tagline. Dorothy Wagener, a member of the visual identity task force, subsequently provided me with materials including the logo, tagline, draft identity statement, and interpretive comments from the task force and church staff.

The logo, consisting of three shapes layered one on top of the other, is immediately recognizable as a stylized bird. This likeness invited a text exploring bird imagery for the three persons of the Trinity. The tagline, “Grace unbounded ” suggested a four-syllable refrain. This led to selecting the tune LAUDA ANIMA, composed in 1868 for Henry Francis Lyte’s metric version of Psalm 103 (“Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven”), in which the repeating syllables are “Alleluia! Alleluia!”

Stanza one of the Knollwood text explores the first person of the Trinity, imaged as a mother bird, hovering over the formless void (Genesis 1:2), “drawing life from depths of darkness.” God’s creative word (“Let there be . . .”) is indeed the source of “Grace unbounded,” continuously bringing forth the wonders of new being.

Stanza two explores a second iconic bird from the book of Genesis: the dove released from the ark (Genesis 8:10-11). While less often viewed as an image for the Holy Spirit, this dove does serve as a providential guide. Launching away from safety, guided by her far-reaching vision, she appears to those on board as “a blaze of white above the trees.” The word “blaze” is multiply determined, referring to a patch of white (a blaze on the forelock of a horse), a marker on a trail (the dove blazes the trail to dry land), or a flame (as the Spirit in the guise of a

of fire later leads the Hebrew people on the Exodus—or descends at Pentecost in tongues of flame). Just as the dove seeks her olive branch of peace, so the church is called to seek peace and reconciliation in a divided world.

Stanza three moves to a New Testament depiction of the dove who descends upon Jesus at his baptism (Matthew 3:16 17; Mark 1:10-11; Luke 3:21-22). In this episode at the Jordan River, Jesus is confirmed as God’s Chosen, from whom “grace unbounded” surely “streams.”

The culminating stanza of the text picks up on a phrase from Knollwood’s identity statement, referring to the congregation as “pilgrims in the way of Jesus.” It recapitulates the Trinitarian imagery for God: as the many-hued Creator of a world that itself is multicolored and diverse; as the living Word; and as the Spirit who is a guiding “blaze”(see stanza two) or “Flame.” The hymn closes with a prayer that the congregation, as a people upholding the name of this God, will be ceaselessly active in sharing “grace unbounded” with the world.
