Choir Anthem: “He Hideth My Soul”
Words by Fanny J. Crosby
Music by William Kirkpatrick, Arranged by John Carter
Message “Creative Rejoicing” AR Pointer
Radical joy is more than just a feeling. It’s an anthem to those who thrive against all odds. An ode to beauty and a reminder that joy is both universal and individual. We should unite in spreading it everywhere.
Whenever you have the chance to help someone, be thankful for the opportunity. It means you could be the answer to someone else’s prayer.
You are a spirit in a body, not a body with a spirit, so making the body beautiful is fun, but making the spirit beautiful is the main goal of life!
Choosing Joy
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. “Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us.” ~ Henri Nouwen
John 15:11
“I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you
and that your joy may be complete.”
“Lord, save us from somber saints.”
~ St. Teresa of Avila
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
~ John Milton, from Paradise Lost
“Unhappy souls always see happy souls as irritating.”
