Instead of the "opening hymn" today we sang a set of vacation Bible school songs: this little light; I have the joy, joy, joy; deep and wide, etc.
On the steps we had the band, ready to launch into their set, and several children and parents. How is it that everybody, it seemed, knew the songs? Eighty-five-year-olds were singing! I hope the children know them.
Simple summer songs, yeah. But even the theologian Karl Barth said that "Jesus Loves Me" pretty well sums up the whole gospel.
