Preparing For Worship: May 29th, 2011

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Sorry I left you blogless last weekend; my wife and I took off early Friday morning for our 5th Anniversary weekend away in Sonoma wine country. It was a gorgeous weekend in a gorgeous place with my gorgeous wife. It's amazing that five years has gone by since we got married. We had just been married one year when I first got a call from a stranger named Pastor Todd asking if I wanted to come lead worship in a cafeteria!

This Sunday we honor the service of those in the military to protect our country's freedom. We have a cool video with a bunch of pictures that y'all submitted of yourselves or family members that are/have been in the service. It's gonna be sweet!

Check out the song picks for this week:

1) Here I Am To Worship
2) Once Again
3) Yes You Have
4) Eternal Praise
5) In Christ Alone

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.
