Written by Rev. Craig Moock, pastor of Rural Chapel United Methodist Church in Galena, OH

As we look at our faith practice of the day, I reached out through my personal Facebook page and asked the question, “What faith practices are sustaining you during this time?”  I received lots of great answers from people, but the most consistent one was music.  There is something about music that can connect us to God and restore our souls whether that music comes through 104.9 The River or just singing God’s songs ourselves. 

One song that has connected to me to God over the last year is “What a Beautiful Name” by Hillsong that you can check out on YouTube.  Another song was written by Charles Wesley, the brother of John Wesley, called “And Can It Be.”  It is in this song that Charles helps us marvel at all that God has done for us.  You can check this out on YouTube as well.  May these and other songs refresh you and restore your soul in these challenging days. 

Blessings and I will catch you on Facebook live on Sunday at 10AM… and remember to wash your hands,

Pastor Craig
