I so love singing praises to our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Sang for the first time with the Traditional services praise team. Wonderful old hymns of praise to our Lord.  Then privileged to teach Bible study--today's lesson being "Confession" based on Psalm 51 and 1 John 1:9.  So glad that God made a … Continue reading Beautiful day in church
