Where can I find the accompaniment for the Builder-only hymns?

In the back section of the Accompaniment for the Hymns volume of Lutheran Service Book, you will find a series of pages that have a gray stripe on the outside margin. These pages contain hymn numbers 967–986. Accompanists should be informed that congregants who are using only the Pew Edition will not have access to these hymns without a printed copy from Lutheran Service Builder.
