Preparing for Worship: June 6th, 2010

Alright, this is going to be short and sweet. I spent all night at Disneyland last night with my wife's high school as a chaperon for "Grad Night." I have that "stayed up all night" gross feeling so I need to go and take a shower and a nap!

This Sunday is Promotion Sunday for our Children's Ministries classes, ages Kindergarten through 6th grade will all be promoted to their new grade level and classroom. You can find out where their new room is at the check-in desk in the front lobby. We're going to be rocking the bounce house all morning long too!

We're going to be commissioning some folks from Crossroads as they go out on Summer missions trips to: India, Haiti, Thailand, and Uganda! We'll pray for them that God would do a mighty work in each of their lives and that he'd use them and their teams to bring glory to his name all around the globe.

Here's what the morning is gonna look like: We'll start with "Indescribable" and then Todd will come lead in prayer and welcome new visitors and what not. Then we'll learn "Because of This" which is one of the songs I wrote for Resurrection Sunday this year and is available as part of a free (donate if you want) downloadable EP called "Resurrection Songs" that you can find by CLICKING HERE. Check it out!

Then we'll go right into "Offering" which is a great tune reminding us of how we come before God, and the awe and reverence that needs to characterize us as we do so.

Then Pastor Todd kicks off our new study in Nehemiah by setting up the historical context of the book and giving us a general introduction as we dive in to chapter 1. CLICK HERE to check out chapter 1 of this book as we embark on a new part of our journey through the Scriptures.

Then we'll celebrate communion together and sing through "Jesus Thank You" as we remember the death of Christ on our behalf.

We'll finish up with a song of new life and victory through Christ aptly titled "Alive in Christ."

That's what's happening; don't miss it! Happy prepping.
