The Personal Side of Covenantal Succession

I feel like I have to warn to all our visitors—the music this morning may be more unfamiliar than usual. We are coming
to the end of a series on 2 Timothy, in which Paul reflects upon his own ministry and passes the torch to a new
generation. To illustrate this principle of covenant succession (one generation in the faith passing on its mantle to the
next) each piece of music sung in today’s service has a very personal connection to Parish—and most of them were first
sung in services here. We’ll sing several pieces by our first chief musician, Gregory Wilbur (2007-2011), who set a
precedent for composing new music for worship, and his successor, Nathan George (2011-2018) who particularly
encouraged us to sing the psalms. The tune for All Nations Clap Your Hands—Psalm 47 was named THIRD AVENUE
in honor of Parish Presbyterian’s original location in downtown Franklin, and Fret Not Yourself—Psalm 37, with a text
by former music intern Elizabeth Dowdell (2018-2020), speaks of the Lord providing a “heritage” and promises a
“future full of peace.” The service will conclude with an arrangement of a text and tune, Great And Marvelous, by
Pastor George Grant. —Henry C. Haffner
