"Come let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song."
Psalm 95:1
"Why do Christians sing when they are together?
The reason is, quite simply,
because in singing together it is possible
for them to speak and pray
the same Word at the same time;
in other words, because here they can unite in the Word.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I think in music there is just something inherently spiritual
in singing together and harmonizing,
and gospel is the trust form of that.
Luke Pritchard
I believe in kindness.
Also mischief.
Also in singing,
especially when it is not necessarily prescribed.
Mary Oliver
An interesting article to consider in any discussion about Sunday morning worship. The Psychological Benefits of Singing Together
I am always and especially grateful for our 'music guy' Derek, who faithfully leads us into a corporate awareness of God's presence Sunday after Sunday. Oh how we need this orientation, increasingly so as the world gets wilder.
Looking forward to being together soon.
Happy singing Sunday to everyone, no matter where you'll find yourself.
