MAY the Student of the Month Be Recognized!

Congratulations, Lauren, Student of the Month of May! Lauren began taking piano lessons on her 11^th birthday (just about 2 months ago)! She plays with joy to the glory of the LORD and has recently learned the duet, “Heart and Soul.” Perhaps her most amazing feat as a pianist is that she plays “Ode to Joy” with her eyes closed! Gifted with a beautiful singing voice, she graces her home and her piano lessons with accompaniment to her piano solos. A homeschooled rising 6^th grader, Lauren brightens the lives of everyone she meets with the love of Christ. Additionally, Lauren is an avid reader, self-taught artist, and member of a home school choir. It is such a blessing to see Lauren singing and playing music for God’s glory!

 

Jesus Loves Me

The lyrics to Jesus Loves Me first appeared in a novel that was published by Susan Warner in 1860 in which the words were spoken as a poem to comfort a dying child. Two years later, William Bradbury wrote a tune to the poem and added a chorus. Ever since, “Jesus Loves Me” has been a dearly cherished and widely sung Christian hymn.

The Student of the Month for April, Jocelyn, played Jesus Loves Me at a local assisted living facility. Praise the LORD for Jocelyn’s talents and for this beautiful hymn that has blessed hearts for centuries!
