Holy Communion:
Tree of Life Setting

From the team that wrote "Now the Feast and Celebration," this new setting of Holy Communion features lyrical melodies and modern, accessible language. The Tree of Life Setting includes traditional parts of the liturgy plus a new gathering song, "Beneath the Tree of Life," a new offertory song, "Come, Let Us Bring," (based on the LBW hymn "Come, Let Us Eat"), and a new post-communion song, "By Your Hand You Feed Your People." This service offers the form of the historic liturgy, with singable new music and hospitable language.

Many of the songs in this collection are dedicated to personal mentors in Marty's life, including well-known professor of music Weston Noble. Beneath the Tree of Life was commissioned by the Diocese of New Ulm, Minnesota, as part of a jubilee gathering rite.
