Sing!
As we begin our bicentennial year, the Chancel Choir and Tollers will present a service of music at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 2. The inspiration for this service stems from a criticism of the early Methodists: “They sing too much!” The Wesley brothers believed that we embody the texts we sing if we sing them often, so they always included singing in their meetings and services. Beyond being affected by the texts about faith, we are affected by the singing itself. Singing together builds community and empathy. There is no such thing as a faith that is too deep or a community that loves too well.

Today, as we celebrate 200 years of Fountain City UMC, let’s sing together. Let’s see how much singing it takes to be told we sing too much!
