SINGING THE WORD
Christians have hidden God’s Word in their hearts through song for generations. The Scripture references listed with today’s songs highlight passages that are quoted or paraphrased, while others echo Scripture’s themes and truths. As we worship, may the Word of Christ dwell richly among us, taking root in our hearts and shaping us to live more like Jesus.

COLOSSIANS 3:15-17
For the next few weeks, we invite you to join us in the communal practice of learning Scripture by heart. The hope is for each of us to memorize Colossians 3:15-17, and as we spend this dedicated  time in God’s Word, these words will increase our understanding of who God is and train us to keep our minds on Jesus. Let this spiritual practice become a part of your daily rhythm.
If you didn’t get a printed card, there are extras at the Guest Central desk. Keep these words in front of you each day as you focus on God’s Word.
