Children's Choir & Handbells
Strong Tower: Knowing My King
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected." Proverbs 18:10
The Children's Choir theme this year is: "Strong Tower: Knowing My King." We are seeking to know our King by studying His names. By looking at the names of our King, we will learn that He is the Strong Tower, the Shelter, the Foundation, the Shepherd, the Water, the Rock, the Redeemer - the one and only true God.
The children will learn the names of God as they study Scripture, hymns and songs that describe the attributes of our Lord. The choir leadership uses the medium of music to teach children about God and His love for them through His Son, Jesus. We will help your child discover his God given musical gifts and how to glorify His name through worship and witness.
It is our prayer that your child will be drawn into a personal relationship with our King as they learn more about Him.
Please join me in praying for our children and their leaders as we learn, worship and grow more in love with our KING!
