Christmas is just around the corner!  Have you been busy with parties, celebrations, and festive activities?  I have!  This is such a busy season!  So much joy, so much excitement, so much celebration!  But let’s not forget the Reason for the season.

​I hope everyone is having a marvelous summer!  August is here…where has the time gone?!  Last month’s worship set was a powerful one, wouldn’t you agree?  As I was prayerfully thinking through what this month’s set should be, I realized that July was a hard act to follow.  However, God really impressed upon my heart the message of His faithfulness and goodness to us.  So this month we will be focusing our praise on these wonderful reasons to rejoice and thank God for His incredible faithfulness to us.

​Hymns are classic.  They are full of deep theological truth and have stood the test of time.  However, depending on what type of church you go to, hymns can sometimes feel old fashioned and not terribly relevant to the current musical style.  Nevertheless, the truth they contain is still rich and deep.  So I love it when song writers combine solid hymns with modern music.  They give the hymns new life with a fresh bridge or chorus or even weaving them together with newer songs.  

​The next song in our Easter-focused worship set is called “Unbroken Praise” by Matt Redman.  This song touched me deeply several years ago and is still a favorite worship song.  I recently introduced it at my church and it has blessed several in our congregation, so I pray that it blesses you also!
