April 24 - May 1 SUNDAYS 9:15am Bible Studies 10:30am Worship Service Office Hours Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 4:30pm (closed during lunch hour) Friday 8:30am - Noon Nursery Hours Sunday 9am - 12:15pm Wednesday 5:45pm - 7:30pm Library Hours Sunday 8:45am - 9:15am Wednesday 5pm - 6pm God Loves Music The prophet Zephaniah reveals a truth about God in chapter 3, One of my favorite passages in the Old Testament. He writes, "God will rejoice over you with singing." Can you imagine it? God sings over us with His love lullaby every night. God loves music and He loves His people. What could be more appropriate than for our Great and Almighty God than to combine the two? He sings over us! If we are to be like Him, then we must also love music. We sing because He sings. We rejoice over one another because He rejoices in us. Music is, therefore, a very important part of the life of the church. Every Sunday we gather to sing praises to our God and sing our testimony about Him. We sing because we know Him, love Him, and rejoice in Him. We sing to honor Him and to make Him known. This Sunday, our children will lead us in singing praise to the Lord. Don't miss it! We will gather as a church to be led by our kids in
