Hello Church Family!

This Sunday we gather to reflect on Ephesians 4:2-3 and the fruit of the Spirit, Forbearance. Below is a look at hymns we’ll be singing along with links to videos where you can hear the melody or learn more about the hymn.

Ephesians 4:2-3 (NIV)

Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit
through the bond of peace.

We Will Be Singing

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett

Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
