Singing and Making Melody Within Your Heart

How many of us have music degrees? With the exception of a few in the congregation that I have gotten to know a little better, most of us do not. We have learned to sing in worship by simply listening to the person next to us, or maybe by buying the occasional tape or cd.  I for one like that God thru His wisdom, wants us to sing and worship from the heart. Singing has a very definite place in worshipping God in spirit and in truth. We glorify God in our singing praises to His name. Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord"  You notice something in that passage? Our singing is to be “to the Lord”.  Song leaders may not always get it right, they may not lead the song the way “you are used to”, but the key is we MUST sing unto the Lord. I am reminded of this more and more when I get the opportunity to sing with the little children. Some may sing a different tune, or even yell the lyrics, but boy how they teach us a lesson about “singing from the heart”.  God has commanded us to sing. That means each one of us. Your voice and singing (as long as it is done from the heart) will always be a joy to the Lord! Hebrews 2:12 says "In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You” Let’s make a “joyful noise” unto the Lord as we worship Him this day!

• Sweatheart Banquet  A sign-up sheet is on the board for this years banquet that will take place on February 4th at 6:00 p.m. make sure you sign up so we can have an accurate count for planning. The cost is $5.00 per person. Look forward to seeing you there!

• 2012 Budget presentation will be February 5th, following our monthly fellowship. A presentation of the plans for the ministries will be given, and then the budget will be presented. Afterwards we will have a short devotional. This will take the place of the evening worship service. Please make plans to attend.

• Teens and Tweens Devotional   Ken and Tracey will host a devotional for Teens and Tweens tonight following evening services. Boys are asked to bring chips, Girls are asked to bring drinks. Parents are encouraged to attend. We will plan out the rest of the year for once a month devotionals.

• ATTENTION MEN:  We will start our Men’s Bible Study on Tuesday, January 24th at 7:00 p.m. at the building. Hosted by Ken. We will meet in the fellowship hall.  All Men are encouraged to attend this first meeting. We will decide as a group what the best day and time is to have our study. We will have Chili and the “fixins” that night. Join us as we study the book “Twelve Ordinary Men”. It is a look at the Apostle’s lives.

• Pew Packers; Young people from Toddler on up are invited to join us at 5:30 every Sunday evening for a period of singing and learning. Parents, please make an effort to bring your young people!
