Joy Break: Spontaneous Worship at the White House for Faith Briefing
When we turn on our television or smart phones we are bombarded with news that brings us down. Where are all the good stories? Those stories are still there. Here’s one that we hope will bless you.
Christian music artists led a spontaneous time of worship at a “faith briefing” held at the White House Tuesday, reported Faithwire. The faith briefing provided an update on President Trump’s faith-based initiatives. Christian singers and worship leaders tweeted and posted about the event on social media.
What a Beautiful Name
Christian artist Tauren Wells tweeted a video of a group of people singing “What a Beautiful Name.”
“What a privilege to declare the name of Jesus in worship and in prayer today at the White House,” wrote Wells. “I was challenged, informed, convicted, & inspired at the #faithbriefing w/many peers in the CCM industry. The church has a great opportunity to rise with grace & truth in this hour.”
