Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – August 9, 2015

If there was one line in all of yesterday's worship set, for me - it was "rid me of myself, I belong to You."  That line is found at the end of the chorus of Lead Me to the Cross.  It set the context for the rest of the worship set.  I can get so caught up in my own little story, that I forgot that my soul purpose is to bring glory to the One that rescued me...We opened yesterday with a hymn re-write called May Jesus Christ Be Praised.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out,…

Bullfrog Choir is THIS Sunday!

One of my favorite Sundays out of the entire year is this Sunday - our 12th Annual Bullfrog Choir!! The morning's worship set provides an opportunity for EVERY guy (and their sons) at OMPC to come and help lead in worship.  The reason, though, that this particular Sunday is so important to me, is that it gives us husbands and dads and opportunity to model worshipping our Lord for our wives and kids.  It gives us - the men of OMPC, an opportunity to actively demonstrate what the psalmist meant when he commanded shouting, clapping, and singing a new song.…
