We recognize that we are a "chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that (we) may declare the praises of Him who called (us) out of darkness into His wonderful light" (1Peter 2:9), and that "the joy of the Lord is our strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). The corporate worship at our Sabbath gatherings is more than music or singing; it is enjoying and experiencing Christ together. With this in mind, we come together to ascribe worth and to worship Almighty God in the beauty of His Holiness by surrendering our whole heart, as we embrace the love of God and His praises through song.
