Finding Joy
Joyful Singalong
Watts turned to the psalms and hymn-writing to help bring light and joy to his world and to others with the hymn Joy to the World. Ask everyone in the family to name one song that they think brings joy and light to the world. Listen to the songs together and discuss how they might bring joy and light to others.
Using pictures of your family, friends, or church family, create a music video that represents joy and light to send to your family and friends.
