Preparing For Worship: August 28th, 2011

Back to school time! For many of us, this signals the return to the routine of life we're tried to escape all Summer. Whether you dread falling back into that routine, or you find comfort in it, it'll be fun to have most of our Crossroads family all together again! Be sure to check out our setlist of worship songs this Sunday, especially the new one from Sovereign Grace!

1) Our God
2) Come Praise And Glorify (NEW!)
3) Jesus Paid It All
4) You Never Let Go
5) The Power Of The Cross

Preparing For Worship: August 21st, 2011

One of my faithful worship blog viewers chided me for his feeling of unpreparedness last Sunday as a result of my failure to update the previous Friday while I was away; to which I offered him, and any of you who may share his sentiment, a hearty "I'm sorry!!"

So now that I'm back from vacations and conferences, we can really focus on being prepared for our corporate worship gathering each week!

Check out the links to the songs we'll be singing together this week and come be a part! This Sunday we'll be featuring a simplified acoustic feel, which a number of you have mentioned that you really enjoy every once in a while!

1) Because of This
2) God of This City
3) O Church Arise
4) How Great Is Our God
5) Glorious and Mighty

See you in a few days!

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.
