On Sunday, First United Methodist Church, Middletown was blessed to have Unique Xue's soulful performance of "Precious Lord," a traditional American spiritual song, accompanied by his Wesleyan University classmate Tina Jiang on piano. Both are from China, studying in the U.S. Unique's heartfelt singing was a perfect expression of how God moves in us during the season of Lent t0 leave behind those things that separate us from being gathered under the wings of our Lord, as Pastor Barbara Marks underscored in her sermon (see Luke 13:34). Unique's performance was the first in our new #FirstMusic series of artists from the greater Middletown community who are sharing how God speaks to them through their music.

Our worship was blessed also by special performances from Eric Buggie, our new Music Director, and his wife Stephanie, who provided the heartbeat of our soul-filled worship experience. We thank Unique, Tina, their Wesleyan friend Jonathan, Eric, Stephanie, and everyone who came to worship on Sunday to share in the miracle of faith in Jesus Christ.
