This Sunday's Worship

Hello fellow members of the body of Christ,

This coming Sunday we will be doing things a bit different than usual. Instead of the worship team choosing, preparing and leading all of the songs we want to give the entire church body a chance to bring something to share this Sunday.

Ephesians 5:18b-20 says,
"Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

God has given us all so much and we want to give everyone the opportunity to bring your own psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. So here's some ideas & guides on what you can do in order to help you prepare for this coming time of worship together:
  • Pick a favorite worship song that you would like to sing together as a church (we'd also like you to share briefly how it draws you into worshiping God), or..
  • Pick a favorite verse or passage to share with the church (and why it's a favorite), or...
  • Come with a praise for something God is doing in your life.
  • If you are able to, we encourage you to lead the song yourself (I can help on guitar if needed) or if needed a small team will be available to lead a song.
If you do come up with something that you'd like to share, be it song, verse or a praise, please email me (email address below) ahead of time so I can make sure we're ready for anything that might need preparing. Though, don't let that stop you from bringing something last minute as we will be ready for playing songs "on the fly" if needed. (Note: we'll base it off of whoever sends what they're sharing to me first and then we'll ask for any spur of the moment requests as time allows)

Again, like I said earlier... the worship team is not planning the usual worship this Sunday. So bring something or we might just have a silent service!

In Him,
Ryan
