Choir Sundays are always fun.  It's great to have a job where I get to serve and make music with such talented, energetic, and encouraging folks.  If you've ever thought about getting involved in choir - it's still not too late to join us for Christmas!  We rehearse every Wednesday night from 6-7 in the choir room.  Come join us!We opened yesterday with Never Stop Singing.After our call to worship we sang Amazing God, Lord I Need You, We Will Run, and How Deep the Father's Love For Us.Our offering song was Jesus Only Jesus.

Yesterday concluded our 2014 Stewardship Season at Oak Mountain.  It's a great time to be reminded of the need for surrender - not just with finances, but with our daily lives, and those things that are most dear to us....We opened with Awake My Soul.After our call to worship we sang Shelter, I Lift My Hands, Hungry, and Be Thou My Vision.Our offering song was This is Amazing Grace, and our pledge offering song was Waiting Here for You.

Hard to believe that we're over half-way through October already.Relentless - God's love is relentless.  The song we sang in the middle of our set repeats those words, over and over again.  Sure - it may be a "7/11 song" - singing the same 7 words, 11 times, but at least for me, I need to be reminded over and over again that God's love and pursuit after me is relentless even when I fail, time and time again.  So I have zero problem with us singing "Your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your…

I was out yesterday, but Jenny Pruitt did an awesome job filling in.  It's a true blessing to be able to be out, knowing that the bases are covered so well.Jenny and the team opened with Our God Saves.After the call to worship they sang O Worship the King, Never Let Go, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and You Alone.The offering song was an original tune from Jenny called Through.  Look for it soon on iTunes!

God's love never fails.  I love the way the writer of "One Thing Remains" strayed from the syncopation and rhythmic nature of the verse - to land with solid quarter notes at the end with "this one… thing…."It serves as a reminder for me that regardless of what's going on, God's love for us through Christ is THE one thing that will never fail, never give up on me….We opened yesterday with a new setting that I wrote to The Church's One Foundation.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, One Thing Remains, Rejoice the Lord is King,…

Great to be back at OMPC yesterday!  We're kicking off our Christmas season with our Wednesday night choir rehearsal this Wednesday from 6-7 downstairs in the choir room.  Come join us!We opened yesterday with Relentless.  That's one of those songs that critics like to call "7-11" songs (repeat the same 7 words, 11 times).  I love, though, that the chorus is simply "Your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your love is relentless…."  I need to be reminded that God's love, pursuit, and heart for me is relentless, no matter how I try to hide,…
