How deep the Father's love for us!

We will lift up "How deep the Father's love for us!" as our anthem this Sunday. As we know, it will be Father's day. I would like to remember and celebrate our heavenly Father and His love through this music. 12 people will leave right after the second service to Lake Junaluska to attend "Music and liturgical Arts week". Please pray for our trip!

Here is the lyric of the text.

How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure that he should give his only Son to make a wretch his treasure. How great the pain pf searing loss. The Father turns his face away as wounds which mar to Chosen One bring many sons to glory. How high, how wide, how deep the Father's love for us. Behold the Man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders. Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers. It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished; his dying breath has brought me life. I know it is finished. How pure, how strong, how deep the Father's love for us. I will not boast of anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom. But I will boast in Jesus Christ: His death and Resurrection. Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer. But this I know with all my heart:his wounds have paid my Ransom. How high, how wide, how pure, how strong, How deep the Father's love for us!

It has been an year already!

It has been an year since I opened this blog. I opened it for sharing our trip to Lake Junaluska, and will attend again this year from next Sunday. Even though there will be half of youth members, total twelve people will attend this year including my mom. Most of our members will be in the handbell choir in the morning for two and half hour rehearsal, and most of youth will be in the orchestra in the afternoon. I will be in the chamber choir again in the morning and various different seminars in the afternoon. I am excited about especially the world premiere of a children's musical by Allen Pote who was a composer of the ninth hour from our Lenten cantata. He is coming for the musical and my Christine will join the group to perform. Also, we have two adult choir members going with us; Barbara Kirschner and Dawn Pape. I am glad that both of them can come with us. Especially for Barb, she is very interested in making stools and gowns for our church and there will be many seminars for that subject. I am looking forward to learning more new music and knowledge and want to get challenged by seeing and observing people who are eager to serve the Lord with their whole hearts and talents. Please join us in prayers that we will be filled by the Holy Spirit throughout the week, safe trip, and being nearer to the Lord through the week. Especially, I have been praying that our youth can open their eyes to see and learn how to serve the Lord with their whole hearts and having more love to the Lord. I will share every moment from next Sunday night.
