Hello ICC Family!
Did you know that singing is surprisingly good for your health? Here is just a partial list of the potential benefits of singing:
•Relieves stress
•Stimulates immune response
•Increases pain threshold
•May improve snoring
•Improves lung function
•Develops a sense of belonging and connection
•Enhances memory in people with dementia
•Helps with grief
•Improves mental health and mood
•Improves heart rate and blood pressure
Singing is good for you, and that list doesn’t even include any of the spiritual benefits! Those should be no surprise to Christians since Scripture so often encourages God’s people to sing praises to him…
1 Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
Psalms 95:1-2
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
Colossians 3:16
Singing is good for you. The Bible entreats us to sing to the Lord. On top of this, it has been scientifically shown that it is even better to sing with a group! “Singing as part of a group or a choir, for example, has been found to promote a greater level of psychological wellbeing than in solo singers,” says David Cox quoted in a BBC article titled “Why singing is surprisingly good for your health.”
I hope this has convinced all of you why it would be a wonderful thing to have you join us as ICC goes caroling at Pinewood Square residence home this evening at 6PM. It will be a healthy blessing for you, and you will have the opportunity to bless some dear friends and neighbors in our community. Even if you don’t normally attend our Wednesday night activities, this particular one will be special. Don’t miss it! And of course, don’t miss this Sunday evening either, as we have our annual candlelight service. See details below…
Blessings to you all!
And know that I am praying for you!
