If you haven't already seen it, please enjoy a hymn today! A Mighty Fortress is Our God!

A Mighty Fortress (#504) vocal
and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Many thanks to Brooke, Gloria, Lyle, Denise, and my very own mom Ann Schumacher who was in town to help record on this.

Look for some Christmas favorites coming your way soon with a little more time for you to get in on the fun too.

Happy Reformation!

Ben
