Advent Adventures

As Worship Leaders on December 17th, the Sonshine Choir will be enhancing the Second Lesson taken from Philippians 4:4-7:
"Be full of joy in the Lord always. I will say again, be full of joy. Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon. Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And Gods peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
(cited from The Devotional Bible, 2003 Thomas Nelson, Inc.)
When I first introduced how the 'Rejoice The Lord' song would 'Sandwich' (be sung both before and after) the lesson; I received several customized food orders for ketchup, mustard, and even pickles!



It's Fun To Share Hymn Singing With The Grown-Ups!

• The 'On Eagles Wings' communion hymn reminded us that God can teach us to soar high above our troubles, just like the mighty eagle.
  
• The recessional 'Soon And Very Soon' hymn boldly proclaimed how wonderful it will be in heaven with Jesus the King.
• 'People Look East' (With One Voice Hymnal #626) will be sung on December 17th. This hymn reminds us to watch and listen for signs that the Lord is coming. He is on the way.

Our hearts are inspired by spiritual songs, especially known ones. God is always pleased to hear us raise our voices in praise. These hymns are now part of your children's personal expression of faith. The composers of these hymns never intended them to be limited within the four walls of a church! They can be offered to God anywhere. This week sing one joyfully in the shower. Sing another while driving the family around town.
