The Sanctuary Choir rehearses in the Choir Room each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted). All are welcome to sing in the Choir! Here is our Choir Schedule.
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' Name! Let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all! Sing to the King Who is coming to reign. Glory to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain. Life and salvation His empire shall bring. Joy to the nations when Jesus is King. Come, let us sing a song; a song declaring we belong to Jesus. He's all we need! Lift us a heart of praise. Sing now with voices raised to Jesus. Sing to the King! For His returning, we watch and we pray. We will be ready the dawn of that day. We'll join in singing with all the redeemed. Satan is vanquished and Jesus in King!
The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you. The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. - Billy Graham

The pastor of a mid-sized church decided one Monday morning that the staff would verbalize their prayers at the weekly staff meeting. He led off: "Lord, my daughter is about to go away to college, I only make $55,000 a year, and it's not enough." He turned to the associate pastor, and she said, "Lord, I have two children in preschool, a new mortgage, I only make $39,000 a year, and it's not enough." The minister of education continued with his chant, "Lord, you know I need a new car, my wife is not well, I only make $28,000 a year, and it's not enough." The youth minister had her turn next: "Lord, I've just finished seminary, I have huge student loans, I only make $20,000 a year, and it's not enough." At last it's time for the minister of music. His prayer went like this: "Lord, my son is graduating from Harvard, we bought a new boat, I make $100,000 a year and ... 'there's no business like show business!'"
