Choir Returning to 8:30 a.m. Worship
Our choir will begin rehearsing on August 2 and will return to lead in worship on September 5. It has been about 18 months since our choir has been “on duty,” and I know everyone will be happy to see them returning to our choir loft to sing beautiful songs of praise and inspiration.
New Hymn by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell
Almost Home is a new hymn composed by Irish hymnist Matt Papa collaborating with Matt Boswell from Texas.
Scriptural basis for the hymn is from Hebrews 11:16:
“But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”
The Christian life is a journey toward a place we know in our hearts as home, yet we have never seen or experienced.
“This song reminds us that we are almost there. Almost to our reward! Don’t drop a single anchor, the opening lines urge us, because this world is not our home. And so, we press on through the doubts and darkness, looking forward to that day when He shall wipe away every tear. On that day, the weak and the strong will rejoice together in our faithful God, the one who brings us home,” – Matt Papa.
This hymn is set to release on September 10, 2021. You can easily find and hear by keying in – Almost Home by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell.
