"Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him'." Luke 4:8

I am so happy to introduce to you our music class. This week a couple singing groups held a concert at our church which made Fritznel miss singing with a group. Fritznel has been a maestro at church for years and can assemble any group of men to harmonize! He also knows how to play guitar and piano really well. So Fritznel got inspired! The next day when we went to our feeding program we picked out all of our older children and told them all to come to our house the following day. When we asked "Who wants to be in a singing group?" Every child raised their hand and expressed a desire to learn guitar. We don't have a keyboard yet!

Isn't is amazing that we were all created to worship?

  

Welcome to Music Class

The 12 children came over at 10 am and filed in with the biggest smiles on their faces~ anxious to learn. Fritznel started with teaching the scale.. "do-ra-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do"...go ahead and sing along. You sound great! (I am pretty sure it will be stuck in your head all day as it was mine that day.) The children did great at paying attention and trying their hardest but to be honest it was the roughest hour and Fritznel had his work cut out for him. Thankfully patience is one of his strongest suits.

After the scale and "la la la la la la la's" Fritznel picked up his guitar and started to sing, "This is the air I breathe". The children got silent and watched with awe. The presence of the Lord was welcomed in and gave supernatural sound to those kids. I don't know how to explain it other than the Holy Spirit. When he taught them the words they sang along and sounded like a room full of angels.

Psalms 146:2 "I will praise the Lord as long as I live! I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist!"

 

The children getting ready for their 1st music class

The next music class will be this week and I will take some video so you can see and hear how they are. I love their eagerness to learn so that they can glorify God with their gifts. These children are a blessing to our lives and we want them to know how much God LOVES their voices lifted to Him.

"Worship the Lord with joy! Enter His presence with joyful singing!" Psalms 100:2 

Stay tuned for a CD! We're expecting big things out of this choir! Please leave your ideas for a group name! I am thinking "Freedom Fighters". :-)
