After our Sunday worship service today, we enjoyed an encouraging musical afternoon. Tom had asked anyone who played a musical instrument to bring it along for a hymn sing after our fellowship meal.
The guitars, violins, flutes, and keyboard were great contributions, and the rest of us joined in and sang lots of old favorites.
"Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the LORD with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy."
Psalm 33: 1 - 3
What a wonderful time of music and fellowship with our church family, and hopefully we can do it again soon when another flute and a viola may be here to join in.

Wish you'd had this idea last week!

What a great time of fellowship. We are heading off to a Psalm singing this weekend.
Keep making a joyful noise!

What were some of the hymns you sang?

Carol,
Most of the songs we sing on Sunday mornings in the Trinity Hymnal are not as well known. Often I've never heard of them, but we are learning new ones a bit at a time.
So....the songs we selected for our afternoon sing were more the traditional ones I grew up with: Standing on the Promises, Praise Him Praise Him, Come Thou Fount, I Am Resolved, Higher Ground, Rejoice in the Lord Always, Nothing But The Blood, At Calvary, Be Thou My Vision, etc.
It was good to sing more familiar ones. My mom should have been here to hear them!

Wish we could bring our many instruments and join in! What fun.
