We opened yesterday with 3rd Day's Soul on Fire. After our…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – December 4th

Yesterday we celebrated the Bethlehem candle - signifying the preparation for Christ, and - as articulated by the prophet Micah - the peace of Christ.  How often do we lose ourselves in the frenetic and chaotic pace of December, and completely lose the Peace that Christ has brought, can bring, and will bring.Our style was a tad different yesterday, especially in contrast to next week's Christmas worship service - Do Not Fear.  Join us if you can, for either morning service - 8:15 and 10:45.  Yesterday's instrumentation was acoustic guitar, bass, percussion, and piano, and a single female vocal along…

We had our choir lead yesterday - I always love choir Sundays, and I always write that I love choir Sundays - because they're great opportunities to get as many as want to be involved, helping to lead in worship.  If you've thought about joining us in choir before - there's never been a better time to join us, as we're zeroing in on our December 11th Christmas service.Yesterday's service was a tad different than normal choir Sundays.  I like to plan.  I like to plan ahead, and as with most choir sundays - this was planned a few weeks…
