Servants

We sing.  That's why we are in the back by the kitchen--we make lots of noise.  When we don't have a pianist, which is most of the time, pitching the song can be a challenge, but we sing anyway.  Usually we sing from the Cokesbury Hymnal prior to a discussion about lectionary based Bible lessons.  Our class studies devotionals from 52 different authors each year.  Lessons are lead by different members on an informal weekly basis.
  • Current study is from The Upper Room Disciplines: A Book of Daily Devotionals
