Preparing for Worship: January 30th, 2011

This is it folks: our first 3-Service Sunday! We're kicking it off right with our special guest speaker: legendary pitcher and cancer survivor, Dave Dravecky!

Choose your service wisely: 8:00am, 9:30am, or 11:00am, and GET THERE EARLY, 'cause we're gonna fill up quick. Before you come, check out the links for the tunes we'll sing during our corporate worship:

-Blessed Be Your Name
-Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing
-Our God
-Stronger
-The Stand

Warm up those vocal chords on Sunday morning (especially you 8:00 o'clockers!) and come ready to proclaim the greatness of God, and to give him praise for what he has done for us through Christ.

Remember, childcare is available for infant-17months at the 8:00am service, and our full infant-6th grade kids ministry is available at the 9:30 and 11:00 services.

See ya then!

Be sure to check out the set list so you know all the tunes we'll be singing together this weekend!

1. All Creatures Of Our God And King
2. How Great Is Your Faithfulness
3. Forever Reign (NEW!)
4. Be Unto Your Name

Just a couple more weeks of 2-services before we add our 3rd service on January 30th! So this weekend we'll see you at 9:00 or 10:30am.

New Song: "Forever Reign"

Hey guys, I wanted to put this video up here so you could have a chance to listen to the new song we're learning this Sunday at Crossroads. It's from Hillsong and it's called "Forever Reign." Check out the video!

Welcome To Crossroads Community Church's Worship Blog

This blog is a tool for the church community to prepare to come together and worship each Sunday.

So often we go to church just expecting to "be fed." It's true that we need to come with empty hands expecting to be filled with the love and goodness of God each week.

BUT...

I also believe that the church body has a responsibility to each other, and to the Lord, to take this weekly gathering very seriously, and that we should come prepared to participate, and to minister to each other.

This blog helps us to know a little more about what is going on in our services, so that we can prepare by praying, reading the scripture text, looking up the songs we'll sing together, and learning new songs, etc.

It also helps to keep us thinking about worship and our walk with the Lord throughout the week. The way we think through and approach every area of life is an act of worship, and it's the task of the believer to direct that worship towards God in the way we interact with life.
