My Baptist grandmother use to say to me: “Singing a song is equivalent to praying twice!” I believe grandma absolutely knew what she was talking about. Music is the heartbeat of the church. The First Congregational Church of Darien has been blessed with many talented singers and musicians – we must rejoice over this! In the letter to the Ephesians 5:19-20 its states: “as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
