Jacob Rice Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God. It is God who made us, and we are God’s; we are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture. Psalm 100:1-3 Dear Friends, We all know the transformative power of music. Music can bring back distant memories as if they happened just yesterday. And music can help us imagine a future far different than our current reality. Music can reach into each heart, and music can connect us with each other and with a power greater than ourselves. Music plays such an important part in our time of worship. Even when it is not perfect (and I’d argue that especially when it is imperfect), it can express a presence of the Holy Spirit better than any words. This is especially true when it comes from the heart. Thursday evening (7:00pm), we will have they opportunity to hear music from the heart of Jacob Rice. Coming from the town of Wallingford, Vermont with a mere 2000 residents, Jacob was raised stacking the wood stove, enjoying the great outdoors, and writing his songs by the river. Jacob’s hybrid country sound transcends genre to deliver an authentic experience driven by heartfelt lyrics and a soulful, passionate vocal. Please come and bring your friends to hear Jacob’s songs from the heart. In the Peace Love and Light of Christ, Pastor Chris
