We started a new year of worship at OMPC yesterday, and also kicked off a new church-wide devotional with Paul Tripp's "New Morning Mercies."  If you haven't picked up your copy yet - you can do so at the church.  It's free - one per family. We opened yesterday with May Jesus Christ Be Praised. After our call to worship we sang Arise, The Same Love, There is a Fountain, and Before the Throne of God Above Our offering song was Greater, sort of set to Sailing by Christopher Cross. Join us this week as we kick off our normal choir rehearsal schedule, and start preparing for our…

We put 2017 in the books yesterday.  It's been a great year for the Worship Ministry at OMPC.  Great folks involved in using their musical and technical gifts to glorify God, and our worship and musical community growing closer together in fellowship and community. Yesterday was just me at the piano, and Chad Walker - our Director of Outreach and Young Professionals delivering the message. We opened yesterday with Come Ye Sinners. After the call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Lord I Need You, O Come to the Altar, and How Deep the Father's Love for Us. Our offering song was Mercy. Join…

Yesterday we put the 2017 Advent Season in the books with our 10:45 morning service and our two usual Christmas Eve services at 5 and 6:30.  Yesterday we celebrated the Angel's Candle - signifying the annunciation of Christ and His birth. We opened yesterday morning with Even So Come. After the call to worship we sang Joyful, Angels We Have Heard on High with Beautiful One, Angels From the Realms of Glory, and What a Beautiful Name Our offering song was You're Here - sung by Kala Waldron. For our evening services, we opened with Our God Saves. After the call to worship we sang Joy to the…

Sunday was the 3rd Sunday of Advent - the "shepherd's candle" with which we celebrate the joy the shepherds first experienced when hearing about and witnessing the birth of our Savior. We opened Sunday with Unstoppable God. After the call to worship we sang Joy to the World, Forever Reign, O Come All Ye Faithful and Great Are You Lord. Our offering song was Labor of Love - sung so well by Jenny Pruitt. Join us this Sunday for a 10:45 morning service (no 8:15) which will be a "normal" Sunday morning service, along with communion, and then our 5 and 6:30 Christmas Eve Services.  

Yesterday was our 15th Annual Christmas Worship Service at OMPC.  I don't do a typical morning recap for the service - as it involves narrative, music and video, and takes the whole hour. I'll post videos here at the blog later this week, so be sure and check back, but in the meantime, we had over 180 involved between the choir, band, kids choir and tech team.  Such an awesome privilege to get to serve alongside such dedicated and talented volunteers. Check back soon for videos! Here is the blurb that I published on the back of our program this…

Yesterday (actually Sunday because I'm writing this on Tuesday) was the first Sunday of Advent.  At OMPC we love to sing the traditional Christmas carols - but we also include songs that we normally sing during the year, which in the context of Advent, take on a whole new meaning.  Yesterday we sang a lot about "waiting," which of course reminds us that not only are we celebrating the birth of Christ, but we also wait and long for His return, coming in the clouds. We opened with Heaven and Earth (but just as a side note - i don't sing…

We're wrapping up the year rapidly, as last Sunday was "thanksgiving sunday."  This is one of the few years that the Sunday after thanksgiving isn't also the first sunday of Advent.  The last time it happened was 2006 and the next time won't be until 2022!  So we haven't officially kicked off the Advent season yet, but will do so this coming Sunday - December 3. We opened yesterday with Here For You. After our call to worship we sang Lay Me Down, The Solid Rock, What a Beautiful Name, and To Him Our offering song was Ho   w Can it Be? (i figured…

We closed out the month of October yesterday, as well as finished up our 2017 stewardship emphasis with a sermon from Paul Kooistra.  Our choir also led in worship yesterday.  It's always a special treat when we have choir Sundays - it's so exciting to have so many talented folks at OMPC involved in ministry at the same time! We opened yesterday with Let Creation Sing After our call to worship we sang Give to Our God Immortal Praise, Good Good Father, Revelation Song, and No Other Name Our offering song was All the Poor and Powerless. We also showed a fantastic video produced by Wes Smith…
