We changed things up a bit yesterday with our worship team.  Had more of an acoustic/unplugged feel with perc, acoustic guitar, bass, and violin.  I always like to keep people guessing as to what we'll offer on a Sunday morning.We opened yesterday with God is Coming - one of my favorites from Tim Hughes.After our call to worship we sang Joyful, One Thing Remains, We Will Run, and Love is War.Our offering song was I Lift My Hands - went nicely with Bob's sermon on Numbers 21.Be sure and join us this week for our kids musical "Coming Home." - 8:15 and…
