Songs of Comfort and Strength | Music Mondays
Whether written as prayers and petitions, praise and thanksgiving, or promises of commitment, the hymns of our Christian faith tell the story of God’s faithfulness and of his great love.
Some hymns were penned as a response to adversity and sorrow. Others burst forth as expressions of exuberant joy, yet all are timeless. Although they have passed from generation to generation, their ability to bless and comfort has never diminished because they are based on the truths of the Word of God—and God’s truth never changes!
In dark and difficult times, recalling the words to these precious songs can offer “comfort and strength”. In 1 Samuel 16:14-23, a distressing spirit of the Lord tormented Saul, and it was only when David played the harp that Saul found peace.
Piano Organ Duets arranged by Joel Raney; performed by Judy Kalan and Jared Stellmacher.
“Shall We Gather at the River”
“Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling”
“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”
“God of Grace, and God of Glory”

Music Monday: Christmas in July
As we begin this final week in July, we celebrate Christmas! Yes, Christmas in July; remembering that it is Jesus who is always with us bringing hope and light into a world of darkness. Especially now, as we continue living life in a global pandemic, journeying uncharted paths, we are reminded it is hope that we need! Hope that comes from the gift of God’s love to us. Without it, we are lost, wandering in the wilderness alone. Jesus is the light of the world; our hope! So, put on your ugly Christmas sweater, light a candle, make some hot chocolate, and join in singing some of our favorite yuletide carols. You might even learn a little history behind these favorite songs: What Child Is This, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, and Joy to the World. Be sure to listen to the end for a special, Sleigh Ride, 4-hands piano duet reprise! Merry Christmas…in July!
