Preparing for Sunday, 6/19/11 (FATHERS' DAY)!



First of all, make sure you wish your dads a happy Fathers' Day this Sunday!

Hope you'll be with us this this week - it's shaping up to be a great time together as the body of Christ. Pastor Jordan will be preaching on Colossians 4:2-6, focusing on praying for doors to be opened for the Gospel, and the priorities of a Christian's life. Jordan and I had a great conversation yesterday about the sermon, and I'm thoroughly excited for all of us to hear it together on Sunday. Once again, we have the opportunity to meet together for corporate worship; this means that we read scripture, pray, hear preaching, and sing together with the distinct awareness that we're doing it as the gathered church. We do these things together for mutual encouragement and admonishment, and meeting corporately unites us as we share in these different avenues of worship to God.

Pastor John will also be heading up 2 baby dedications, so you definitely want to be there for that as well.

We had a fun, worshipful practice last night gettin' ready for Sunday's music. It was a great time playing and singing the songs, and talking through their lyrics. I'm super excited to sing this set together in corporate worship. Here are the songs - make sure you click on the links below to give them a listen before Sunday. I've included a key quote from each song for us to meditate on - each quote is also key in tying the songs together in the order that we'll sing them. Make sure you know the songs, and that your voice is in top-form too; we want to sing these together well, and sing them loud!

1. Awesome is the Lord Most High
"Where You send us, God, we will go/You're the answer we want the world to know"

2. Glorious and Mighty
"'Majesty' we'll sing with Creation, when You come again in the clouds/Every knee will bow down and worship the one true God!"

3. How Marvelous
"He took my sins and my sorrows and made them His very own, and bore my burden to Calvary"

4. Stronger
Stronger, You are Stronger/Sin is broken, You have saved me/It is written, 'Christ is risen'/Jesus, You are Lord of all!"
