Music
Music is the most extraordinary activity in the believer's life. As we gather for corporate worship, our hearts and minds respond with gratitude for all that the Lord has done for us. When we focus on the truths of scripture, we are reminded that only God is worthy of our worship.
There are many available outlets for worship.
