Digital Storytelling: Evangelizing in the Digital World

Copyright © Interactive Connections, 2015


Presenter: Caroline Cerveny, SSJ-TOSF


Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;

worship the LORD with cries of gladness; come

before him with joyful song.

Know that the LORD is God, our maker to whom we

belong, whose people we are,

God's well-tended flock.

Enter the temple gates with praise, its courts with

thanksgiving. Give thanks to God, bless his name;

good indeed is the LORD, Whose love endures

forever, whose faithfulness lasts through every age.
