Reflections from the Pastor

How good it is to sing praises to our God.

Psalm 147.1

How good it is to sing praises to our God. How good it is to gather together as God’s people and lift our voices in praise. How good it is to know the Christ whose praises we sing. How good it is to lift our voices together and sing praises to our God. May the songs of our faith lift us up and give us hope.

Do you have a favorite hymn? Do you have songs of praise learned in the past that still ring in your heart? Are their hymns that give you hope and peace as you ponder their words? Take time to reflect on those hymns that have become most meaningful to you.

Let the Pastor or the Deacons know of your favorites so we can include them in our times of worship or in the Fifth Sunday  Hymn Sings being planned for 2010.  Let our voices sing our praises to our awesome God.

We pause to lift our voices and hearts in thanksgiving and praise for all who have accepted roles of responsibility in the ongoing ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church.  Please lift these people up in prayer. And, take time to say thank you to them.

                                                                     Joyously,        

Pastor Joyce
