Advent meditation for December 15, 2019
”He who sings prays twice.”

That thought, often attributed to St. Augustine, nicely sums up what the gift of music can add to worship.

Being able to read music and (sort of ) carry a tune are blessings to those of us who choose to be in choir, whether bell or vocal. We do this because it enhances our own worship, it provides camaraderie, team-work, mental and physical exercise and it’s fun and rewarding.

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of music.
