Preparing For Worship: June 8th, 2008

Well I am mostly moved into my new office here at our new church building, and the sounds of construction, painting, tiling, are all ringing in my ears, and it sounds great! Just a few more weeks, and we get to have our first service a hundred feet from where I'm sitting now!

So in the meantime, we look back and thank God for his faithfulness and provision even as we finish out our last few weeks at West Ranch High School's cafeteria! It has proven a faithful temple.

This Sunday, Pastor Todd delves into the first part of Ecclesiastes 7 as we explore what it means to live with wisdom in this life. Solomon gives us interesting perspectives in this chapter, and only when we understand the context of living life under the sun can we see the beauty in the truth he presents.

We'll start our service with the song "How Good And Pleasant" that reminds us of David's words in Psalm 133: "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity" and praise the Lord together!

John Book will keep us informed on what's happening within our church family as we worship God through participating in various ministry opportunities.

We'll keep singing, hearkening back to Easter with "See What A Morning," rejoicing in God's "Grace Unmeasured" and bowing before his throne with "Lord Jehovah."

We'll spend time in the Word, and seek the help of the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds and quicken our hearts to the truth of the scriptures, asking for his conviction of sin, and of righteousness in our lives.

We'll respond in corporate song and proclamation by singing "You Alone" and closing our time in unified supplication that we might be pleasing to God in our words, and thoughts and deeds as we sing "Psalm 19 (May The Words)."

We'll worship through the giving of tithes and offerings as we go, and we'll check one more Sunday off of our countdown to June 22nd when we'll celebrate in our new church home!

Looking forward to worshiping in all of these ways with you this Sunday, and as usual, the videos I link to are for learning/refreshing your memory, and may not indicate exactly how we'll do the song on Sunday. ;-)
