If you didn't get a copy of the book "The Lord of the Peaceful Monsters" at The Harbor last Sunday and would like to have one, they are now available in the Family Life Center to pick up.
Excerpt:
Peace
I heard a faint sound
And as I turned around,
I stood in amazement.
And the whole world bowed down.
For on a distant hill,
with the sun just to his back,
stood peace himself,
the man called Jesus.
M.D.C.

"From the Heart"
Sunday, November 19, 4 PM
In the Sanctuary
Music that stirs the soul and touches the heart will resound throughout the Belin Sanctuary at 4 PM on Sunday, November 19, 2017, as the Belin Worship Arts Ministry welcomes Mary McDonald in concert with the Belin Chancel Choir. This is a free offering with seating on a first-come basis. Tickets are not required.
Mary McDonald is well known in sacred music. With a career that spans over thirty-five years. Her songs appear in the catalogs of every major publisher of church music. More than eight hundred anthems, seasonal musicals and keyboard collections testify to her significant contribution to sacred literature.
In 2000, Mary became the first ever woman President of the Southern Baptist Church Music Conference. In addition she has served as accompanist for the Tennessee Men's Chorale since 1985. Her greatest desire is "to give God glory for the songs He has allowed me to compose. He alone is the true Creator behind my pen."
In 2011, after serving as sacred music editor for The Lorenz Corporation in Dayton, Ohio for more than twenty years, Mary answered a new call. Now she takes her tremendous passion and love for music making directly to churches as an independent artist. She is in constant demand in churches across the nation for composer weekends and conferences.
