Hazel Church of Christ in Hazel, KY has a building that’s the best around when it comes to congregational singing. The church meets in an old-timey structure with a tin ceiling and concrete floors with a thin layer of carpet…all that keeps the voices ringing and bouncing from ceiling to floor! It’s like hearing an echo off the walls of heaven itself! Put 75 people in that building (that love to sing songs of praise to God) and that‘s as close to the throne-room of God you can get this side of eternity!
Most Friday nights there’s gonna be a singing at some Church of Christ around west Kentucky or west Tennessee. From the thousand member Glendale Road congregation to the thirty member Hazel congregation…Friday night melodies are a staple around here (and I love it).
However, the gradual decline of these Friday night singings is easily seen in the fewer and fewer numbers of Christians who seem to be interested in attending. The crowd percentage is made up of more seasoned Christian bodies, and with less and less younger souls willing to attend…I’m afraid that in a few years these Friday night melodies will fade away in Sunday dinner memories.
