While I was pastor of the Findley Lake United Methodist Church a couple women from that church (whether afflicted by SAD or not) were in conversation one day. They observed that many people were “down” about the weather. Then they came up with an idea to lift the spirits of people in the month of February. They would bring together area churches for a night of praise and music. Each church’s Choir or other musical group would provide an anthem. Then a mass Choir would finish the evening. It instantly became a hit! We remember the joy and smiles it brought to all of us as we celebrated together the love of God in a night of music! It was fun too!!!

Perhaps a similar motivation led some folks in the Wellsville area to start the annual Singspiration evening some time ago. Last year it took place right here in our own church. It was a great evening as we worshiped the Lord and shared the joy of belonging to Jesus Christ through faith. All of our spirits were lifted just by being together in worship.

This year’s Singspiration will happen at the Nancy Howe Auditorium on Sunday, February 21st at 7:00. The Super Bowl will be over. Even our football fans will be looking for something to do! The more neutral venue will offer us an excellent opportunity to invite unchurched (and churched) family, friends and coworkers to a wonderful evening together. We will be privileged to praise the Lord with our brothers and sisters in Christ. And who knows? It may “chase away the blues.” I hope to see you there!!!

In the light of His love,
