WORSHIP
RESOURCES TO HELP YOUWORSHIP
(continued from last week)3. Each Daily Update includes scripturereadings that will take you through the Bible.Take a moment to click on one or more of thosescriptures. It will enhance your daily worship. 4. Keep your radio tuned to a Christian musicstation, whether KLOV or one of the online orcable "radio stations." You will become morefamiliar with the music in both of ourcontemporary worship services, and your mindand heart will be continually singing God'spraises. 5. If your preferences are more toward theclassical hymns you can read the text and listento recordings of many of those hymns athttp://library.timelesstruths.org/music/ or readabout the stories behind our hymns at:http://www.umcdiscipleship.org/worship/hymns-hymn-singing-hymnals-hymnology or you canlisten to piano arrangements of many hymns at:http://www.umcdiscipleship.org/worship/piano-solo-recordings
Use one or more of these ideas to keep youworshiping throughout the week.
