Psalm 98:1a Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! As we have explored Old Testament Psalms during the first months of the school year, we have emphasized that the people of the Old Testament loved to sing praise to their God. The Book of Psalms was the songbook of the Old Testament. Our psalm for this week celebrates God s gift of song, Sing to the Lord a new song (v. 1). God s people continued to sing as we turn the pages to the New Testament. When Mary was told by the angel that she was going to be the mother of Jesus, she sang a song of praise that we still sing in church today. It is called the Magnificat, My soul magnifies the Lord. The Christmas story in Luke chapter 2 tells us that when the angels came to the shepherds, a host of angels praised God with a song, Glory to God in the highest. God s story of salvation includes songs even when we remember Jesus dying for us. We especially sing on Easter Sunday with the Alleluias of Jesus victory over death and the grave. Our church history tells us that Martin Luther and his family loved to sing. Martin Luther wrote a song

7 tells us that Martin Luther and his family loved to sing. Martin Luther wrote a song that tells the story of Jesus birth, From Heaven Above to Earth I Come. Some of us are great singers and love to sing. Others of us may not have the same ability to sing, but still we offer our praise to God for sending Jesus as our Savior. There will be many opportunities for the church to sing as we gather on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for special worship service. Won t you sing with us? Bring your family and friends to join in the song. adapted from LCMS School Ministry Chapel Talk Chapel offerings this trimester are going to purchase quilts for the beds at the Sheltering Wings domestic violence shelter.
