TIOGA, La. (LBM) – Faith Baptist Church, Tioga, will host a hymn sing, March 8 at 6 p.m., to bring together Central Louisiana churches for a time of joint worship that also will include Scripture reading and prayer, according to an announcement by Clark Palmer, who is pastor of FBCT.

Kevin Boles, bi-vocational pastor with Lone Star Baptist Church, Hineston, will direct the congregational singing and Sylvia Murrell will accompany on piano.

“Hymns build our faith and lift our spirit,” Palmer told the Baptist Message. “We sing about the faithfulness of God and it gives us hope. We sing about the cross and we are moved to deep gratitude. We sing about the greatness of God and we are moved to worship. We hear the voices of the gathered congregation singing and we know we are not alone in our faith.”
