Our worship set was focused all on the theme of adoration.  Simply spending time adoring Christ for who He is, and what He has done.We opened yesterday with a great call to worship - reminding us to instruct our souls to awake - called Awake My Soul.After our call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Adoration, How Great Thou Art, and He Knows My Name.Our offering song was Savior King.  Love that tune.

Bob started a short sermon series on some social issues - and will continue through the month of January.  If you missed yesterday's sermon that highlighted some sanctity of life issues - check it out on iTunes.  You can find our sermons on iTunes by searching "ompc."We opened yesterday with This is Amazing Grace.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, All Hail the Pow'r of Jesus Name, Your Grace Finds Me, and Draw Me Nearer.Our offering song was Give Me Faith.Choir has started back!  Now is a great time to get plugged in.  We're beginning preparations for…

It was great to be back after a nice Christmas break.  We kicked off 2015 yesterday morning with a set that was all about focusing on Jesus.We opened with Come Ye Sinners.  Best line in that song - "if you tarry until you're better, you may never come at all"After our call to worship we sang Hosanna, Stronger, Jesus Only Jesus, and Before the Throne of God Above.Our offering song was To Him - a tune I wrote a few years ago.

We were back to "normal" programming yesterday - as I don't tend to sing Christmas songs after Christmas.  But before we talk about yesterday - we had Christmas Eve service!We opened Christmas Eve with All Who Are Thirsty - great tune that allows us to sing/pray "Come Lord Jesus Come"After the call to worship we sang Joy to the World, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Your Name (Christmas lyrics), and Away in a Manger.  Carlee then sang Welcome to our World.That was followed with a reading of the Christmas story from the gospels of Matthew and Luke, by Rob Bright.Lynne Means then sang O Holy Night.We closed…

I love the Christmas season.  I love being able to mix the timeless carols with praise songs to create a complete Advent season thought.  I love how the context of Advent creates a completely new meaning for the same text that we sing in the midst of praise songs.We opened yesterday with Here For You - a great song for the 4th Sunday of Advent - as we celebrate the Angels' candle and the Annunciation of Christ - we proclaim in that song "let your Word move in power..."We're reminded that the Word became Flesh.After our call to worship we sang…

Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday of Advent - the Bethlehem Candle, signifying the preparation for Christ.  Of course, the irony is that Bethlehem was the furthest from being prepared, which parallels us, so often unprepared to come to worship; unprepared for the work that we're longing for God to do.We opened yesterday with Our God Saves.After our call to worship we sang Joyful, O Come All Ye Faithful, Lord I Need You, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Waiting Here for You.Our offering song was You're Here, sung by Kala Waldron.Join us this Sunday for our special Christmas worship service…

We kicked off the 2014 Advent season last Sunday with the Prophet's Candle - the Anticipation of Christ.  One of my favorite things to do is take praise songs that we sing during the year, and put them into the context of Advent, and specific "candle themes" for each week.  The same text that we sing during the year takes on a whole additional meaning!We opened with Relentless.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, O Come Emmanuel, and How He Loves.Our offering song was a great tune called Light of the…

We had a great morning of worship last Sunday as we welcomed back Bob from his mission trips!  And we're heading right into the advent season.We opened last Sunday with This is Amazing Grace.After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, The Stand, I Stand Amazed, and In Christ Alone.Our offering song was Let it Be Jesus.

Thanksgiving seems to be rapidly approaching, and before you know it, we'll be well into December, our Christmas worship service on the 14th, Christmas Eve, and then the new year.  My parents were right; time does go by much faster as you get older.We opened yesterday with This is Amazing Grace.After our call to worship we sang All Because of Jesus, Your Grace Finds Me, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and Enough.Our offering song was a tune I wrote called To Him.
