Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation. Psalm 111:1
The hymn, "We Have Come Into His House" that we are singing in place of the Gloria each Sunday has special meaning to me. I first heard and learned the hymn when I attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Harrisburg. It was sung every Sunday. It sets the tone for our worship together, I believe.
We have come together to praise and worship God together.
This Sunday we hear a lot about giving thanks and living in gratitude.
One of the best things we have is each other and our worship together.
Many blessings and love,
