Psalm 108:1 “My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul.” To hear children singing the praises of our Savior is one of my greatest joys in teaching! From our treasured hymns to our anthems, we proclaim Christ Crucified as we share our faith with others. I love singing with kids and teaching them to appreciate music in all its forms!—Rachel Petermann
