New songs added

Praising Hands has been part of Worship Service twice since our last posting.  Today we updated the Song Page to include those Worship Songs.

May 20, 2016 was Music Sunday.  All aspects of the music ministry were represented.  Praising Hands' song signing was "Creation Calls".  We departed a little from our usual arrangement and our offering seemed to be much appreciated.

June 12, 2016 Praising Hands chose to sign a song that was more or less a Pentecost song. That Sunday was a difficult Sunday for many people as the night before a tragic shooting had taken many lives and the whole country was in shock and morning.  Our signing offering was the instead of the last hymn of the worship service.  After service we were told by many of our church family how our offering had such a special meaning.  Some told us through tears or shaky voice.

I hope you all enjoy these songs being signed as much as we have enjoyed signing them.

Thank you for visiting.  May God Bless.

INTRODUCING MOE



Moe is the newest member of Praising Hands.  He has been with us for about a year and a half.

Moe's response to the question of what brought him to join Praising Hands was:  "When I was a kid, I had a friend who could hear but couldn't speak.  So we communicated in actions.  For me, signing hymns is a deeper expression of worship.  I like to participate in things that make people feel happy, so I want to share this with my church family."

I asked Moe if there was anything else he wished to say.  He looked around and said, "Here I get to spend an hour or so with these beautiful ladies."

Thank you for visiting with us and may God bless.

NEW YEAR

     Happy New Year all.  

     This coming Friday, January 8, will start Praising Hands' spring season.  Our first song will be "In the Garden".  When we were choosing the songs for the spring time, there was a strong response to this hymn.  We decided that it should be offered as our Lent song.  That means we will present it in late February.
