The animated musical SING opens today Dec 21 in theaters “everywhere” (as they say). PG rated so it should be very family friendly. If you don’t see it, you will hear about it from kids, grandkids, neighbor children, nephews and nieces! It’s about animals of all types in a song competition much like the popular TV shows. I think I will try to see it before Sunday. Maybe…… If you don’t see the movie, just use your imagination about animals singing (legend has it that animals sing and speak on Christmas!).

December is usually a month of singing and we run the range of loud joyous song, “Joy To The World” to that of quiet reflective words “Silent Night.” Add to that the visual treats of light and colors and with a message of faith, hope, and love, why you just might have a winning combination of a Word bringing Light for everyone (John 1:9).

The Good News is shared in so many ways. We will do just that on Christmas Eve at Locks Memorial at 6 pm and in our respective churches on Sunday morning 9:30 and 11:00 am. We will miss a few who are on the road, with family near and far, but we will all be together in “Spirit and Truth.”

In addition to singing voices on Dec 24 & 25 we very likely will have guitar, ukulele, dulcimers, and possibly a saxophone (!). All instruments welcome ~ Let them SING in their own way!

See and hear you soon!

Merry Christmas!
