Singing has such a unique way of bringing your heart and mind strength together to focus completely on God. In an age of distraction, singing grabs the attention of all our senses and focuses us on God. When we do what the Bible says and sing together as a church family, we are hearing confessions of faith all around! When we are singing and making melodies with the Lord with our hearts it brings so much Joy and happiness.
