"Satisfied" and Hymn List for 2018

Last year I made it a goal to teach my kids a different hymn each month.  We explained the big words, the doctrine from Scripture, and learned all the verses because they are so rich in theology.  My kids really liked it!  In fact, today I didn't have the new hymn ready for morning pledge time and Nehemiah came to me later very sad because "we didn't sing today."

We didn't do well with hymns in the summer...we were too busy renovating a house!  This coming summer we have several mission teams joining us for Bronx ministry, so I am again taking off the summer months (this time by design).  What we have been creating is "morning time" like many homeschoolers do in their learning routine, but I didn't even know there was such a thing!  This year we are going to incorporate Scripture memory into the morning time along with our pledges and hymn and prayer time.

Here is my list of hymns for 2018:

• January: Satisfied
• February: Blessed Assurance
• March: Christ Arose (so we're ready for Easter on April 1st, which may end up being the first Sunday service of Emmaus Road Baptist Church too)
• April: The Bible Stands
• May: Nearer, My God to Thee
• September: To God Be the Glory
• October: How Firm a Foundation
• November: Arise My Soul Arise
• December: The First Noel

I like to make some of the hymns with black and white images so the kids can color them and be more hands on in the learning process, but this hymn worked well for color images.  Download the PDF printable of Satisfied here.
