REJOICE THE LORD IS KING (Schrader)
Our Lord, the Savior, reigns

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

33 Years of Musical Ministry (1976-2009)
We would like to thank each of you for coming tonight to enjoy
and share a night of fellowship and fun in praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Because God sent his Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and He rose
again, we have a song to sing.
The SINGING HIMS began in 1976 and are completing their 33rd year of
musical ministry singing in praise to God. The membership began with
men from three Wyoming, MI churches and has since included men from
more than a dozen area churches. Many have been with the group since
the beginning, including the director, Jack Ponstine.
Jack and his wife, Kris, one of our pianists, have directed and lead the
SINGING HIMS in church worship services and have brought the
“Good News of Jesus Christ” to people in jails, hospitals, nursing homes,
missions for the homeless, and campgrounds throughout West Michigan.
We are thankful to God for the gift of music that He has given us to share
with you and others, always for His honor and glory. It is our prayer that He
will continue to bless us with the privileged of presenting this sacred music
and that people may hear the gospel story of Jesus Christ through our music.
