Amazing Grace Sunday

-
Our church is joining thousands of other congregations around the country this weekend in celebrating Amazing Grace Sunday!

We will lift our voices in singing "Amazing Grace" which happens to be my favorite song, and remember the redeemed slave trader, John Newton.

Interestingly, we did a "favorite song" poll in our bulletin last Sunday.

1st place -- "I Can Only Imagine"
2nd place -- tie "Amazing Grace" and "In Christ Alone"

If you were voting on a favorite church song, what would it be?

    Favorite chorus? Days of Elijah.
    Favorite hymn? Wonderful Name of Jesus.
    Hands down.

    This is not an easy question, because I like a lot of different music. I'm know for saying in the pulpit "This is one of my favorites." If you pressed me, I would probably have to say "And Can It Be?" in the hymn category and in the worship song category, "Agnus Dei."

    Amazing Grace ranks tops in our household. Could it be that it was Grandpa Wilson's favorite? Followed closely by The Old Rugged Cross, my Dad's favorite.

    Sam and I both really enjoy Country Gospel.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
