Church Music

This past Sunday, I went to my dad's church in his hometown because it was hosting a choir concert. This wasn't like any other church choir concert; this one consisted of a choir/band from each church in the town. There were about seven different groups performing, and my grandma was singing in one. We don't get to see my grandparents often since they live about thirty-five minutes away, so it was nice to gather with them at their church. 

My grandma's choir sang first. All songs about God of coarse. My dad, brother and I sat quietly as we listened to them all sing. Grandma's choir had about fifteen people, all of them were pretty old. The next few groups were honestly a bit boring. Christmas music played on the piano, a soloist singing a slow song; I almost fell asleep. But then this one group came on of five big men singing in their deep voices. They sang really upbeat songs. That woke me up for sure. It was nice to see a bunch of men get up in front of many other people and show their faith to God through song. I could feel the power in the music that day. Everyone's faith was strengthened. There is a book titled  "Heaven is For Real" and in it the little boy can see the Holy Spirit touching his pastor father as he reads his sermons. Sunday at the church I could feel the Holy Spirit touching those men when they stood up and sang. 

I encourage you to attend church and try to feel the power in the music. It was so cool to imagine the Holy Spirit with us.
