Singing Psalms With All Our Heart

Join the Facebook Group!
We've created a Facebook group called "SPAS Singing Psalms" so that we can explore together the "how" and "why" we "Sing Psalms With All Our Heart." The group is a place for people in congregations, perhaps even some individuals or families wanting to do home study together, to take up the study. You can post questions and comments for the Jacobsons and for each other. Paul and Diane will chime in as appropriate!
