January 8, 2012 - Morning Worship Service

"Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.  Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.  Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." (Psalm 33:1-5)

The offertory is played skillfully by Ruth Scharback.  She has a God-given talent playing the piano.  Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your talents with us at OC Naz.
