4 tHINGS tO kNOW tHIS wEEK

Several people made comments about the song snippet I played during the Children's Message.  The song is "Come Thou Fount" which was written in 1757 by Robert Robinson.  The part that I sang was: "Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace."  What if every morning we woke with these words in our mouths?  Every follower of Jesus that wants to grow in their journey with Jesus asks him to "tune" their hearts so they sing the praises of God.  May you allow him to tune yours today.  Watch David Crowder sing it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzxoF2eXVfk
