"A joyous acclamation", by Lani Smith. Followed by "Gabriel's oboe" (from The Mission), by Ennio Morricone. And "I'll walk with God", from The Student Prince, by Nicholas Brodszky.
During the offering: Domine Deus, from Vivaldi's Gloria. After all, it can't be good for you to have a diet solely of film tunes!
After the service - well, I understand that certain boys in the Sunday School get quite excited when they see I'm using my "Film themes" book. (Maybe it's the picture of Batman on the front cover?)
They didn't recognise the Chariots of Fire theme, by Vangelis. But my son did.

The theme was intentionally chosen, because Eric Liddell stood up for his faith despite other people's comments. And standing up for what we believe in seemed to be a predominant theme today.
Today being 31st October, many of us will have been asking ourselves what we think about guising and related matters. Doing a Google search on "Christian attitude to Halloween" is an interesting way of exploring the subject.
