Marvelous Light - new song for Sunday, October 9

**I'm posting this a few weeks early so you can get a head start on listening and learning.  Please note although this song is written/performed by Charlie Hall in the key of B we will be doing it in the key of F. 



Chorus 1
Into marvelous light I'm running
Out of darkness out of shame
Through the cross You are the truth
You are the life You are the way

Verse 1
I once was fatherless
A stranger with no hope
Your kindness wakened me
Wakened me from my sleep now
Your love it beckons deeply
A call to come and die
By grace now I will come
And take this life take Your life

Verse 2
My dead heart now is beating
My deepest stains now clean
Your breath fills up my lungs
Now I'm free now I'm free
My dead heart now is beating
My deepest stains now clean
Your breath fills up my lungs
Now I'm free now I'm free

Misc 2
(SPOKEN WORDS)
There's no more shame
No more shame
And now we show the world
Christ in you

Misc 3
(BRIDGE)
Lift my hands and spin around
See the light that I have found
Oh the marvelous light marvelous light
It's Christ in you
Lift my hands and spin around
See the light that I have found
Oh the marvelous light marvelous light

Misc
Sin has lost its power
Death has lost its sting
From the grave You've risen
Victoriously

Sunday, October 2

Pastor Adam enjoys the slide after all the kids went home from the Fall Connection.

Wow!  What a day Sunday!  Despite the rain it was a stellar day!!!  Thank you for the part you played in this amazing day.  You are all loved & appreciated!!

Here's what's happening this week:


Worship Set:
Hosanna, Praise is Rising
Deep Cries Out
Give Me Faith
Here in Your Presence

Offering:  Your Great Name

Altar Time:  Moving Forward

Frontline:
Soprano: Ashley, Naomi
Alto: Suzanne, Bonnie
Tenor: Russell, Epi

Colors:  Your choice - modesty guidelines apply

Please keep me in special prayer this week.  I will be in North Carolina Thursday - Saturday this week and next, as the main speaker for the North Carolina District (AG) Women's Breakaway Conference.  I covet your prayers, for these ladies - that they receive all that God has for them.

I'll be flying back late Saturday night when the event is over.  See you Sunday morning!

Fall Connection is THIS WEEK!!! Sunday, September 25

And I have so much to tell you in preparation!!!!

Let me get the things that pertain to the actual worship set out of the way and then I'll go on to give additional instruction.

This is going to be a HUGE week.

We are not doing any new material this week -- we need to do some of our material that is our best - what I would consider our tightest stuff, and come prepared spiritually and musically with our game on.  Please be ON TIME - I would like THE ENTIRE TEAM there at 8 am, to be prepped for this day.  We need to go over our set, get it SUPER TIGHT and have time to pray and get ourselves fully engaged for this day.

Worship Set:
Say So
My Savior Lives
Our God
Waiting Here For You

Offering #1:  Choir Song - "We Lift You Up" (from Give Him the Praise)
Offering #2:  I Will Exalt You/I Exalt Thee

Altar Time:  Moving Forward & I Lift My Hands

Dress/Colors: I would ask that the entire team wear BLUE jeans this coming week.  It's a casual day with dinner on the grounds.  The one thing I'd like the same is for us to have blue jeans on bottom, as far as on the top, it's your choice but MODESTY is the word of the day.  No b's (boobs, butts, bellies or backs.)  Ladies, we can dress up our jeans with some cute heels/shoes, and then change after service to go outside.

Note:  There's a bounce house and 18 ft. water slide we've rented for the day so if you want to change to shorts or bathing suit after church you are welcome to do that.  Please remember towels!

As far as frontline, Suzanne is out of town this week.  That leaves us with seven frontline folks left and I'd like to use all of you this week and cord a few mics if we have to.  So everyone come prepared for frontline this week only, please.  Next week we'll go back to scheduling.

Now, other things to note...

When you come to church Sunday morning please park your cars in the back by the playground/trailers, etc.  We are asking the entire worship ministries team and leadership team to park back there for Sunday.  We believe we will need the parking and may even have to have people park cross the street at the credit union.

Also when you get ready for worship service to begin please don't put your purses and bibles, etc. on the chairs in the sanctuary to save a seat for when you are done with worship.  We are fully expecting that it might be a possibility that Celebrators have to stand on Sunday morning.  If so we will take the lead in doing so.  In the event that we can't fit in the sanctuary overflow will be Sanctuary A and the Choir Room.  Every available sanctuary chair has been taken out of storage and set up for this day.  In the event that we have run out of chairs, Pastor Larry should not have to ask anyone to stand.  All of our CC people should just make a move to do so without him asking.

When you come in for rehearsal please take your food that you brought for the day and put it in the kitchen.  The refrigerators will be cleaned out for this purpose.  If you have any question regarding food, you can see Sue Flint, coordinator of food for the day.

We are asking that once the service begins, no Celebrators leave the sanctuary UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY.  If you can possibly hold it after worship, please wait until service dismisses to go out.  Not only is leaving a distraction but it lets the air out of the sanctuary.

Most of all, pray, pray,pray about this day!  And then pray some more!

It's time for a ridiculous harvest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all so much,

Sunday, September 18

And the weeks just keep gettin' better and better!  Can't wait to see what God unfolds this week.

By the way, speaking of unfolding, HOW ABOUT THE SCREEN ON THE BACK WALL??!  AMAZING!!!  This is much appreciated.  I didn't announce Sunday as the person who did it requested to be anonymous, but we sure do appreciate it. WONDERFUL!!!

Here's what's happening this week:

Sunday Morning Set:
Great God  (new song - see below)
Deep Cries Out
Waiting Here For You
I Will Exalt You
I Exalt Thee

Song for Offering:  Your Great Name

Colors for this week:  your choice just stay within platform guidelines

Frontline:
Soprano:  Minerva, Naomi
Alto:  Bonnie, Aida
Tenor:  Russell, Epi

I love you all and thank God for you daily.

New Song: GREAT GOD

**Note:  My favorite version of this song is by Free Chapel but I couldn't find it on YouTube.  This will give you the basics of the song.  Please note it's written in "D" but we are going to sing it one key lower in "C".

Great God

Sunday, September 11

This Sunday is our special 9/11 Memorial Service.  Please be in prayer about all of the details coming together for this day.  We are only a few days away and much is still needed to bring this together. 

The worship set is shortened just a bit to have time for the other special presentations that will occur in the service.  In addition to an interview with John Torres who was on the scene at 9/11 Ground Zero, we will also have some special music.

Worship Set:
Again I Say Rejoice
Our God
Waiting Here for You

Offering:  I Lift My Hands to Believe Again

Frontline: 

Soprano:  Ashley, Naomi
Alto:  Aida, Suzanne
Tenor:  Epi, Russell


Special music is taken care of through people I have spoken to directly already about this day.  All that the band, frontline and choir need be concerned about for this day as far as music is above.

Colors:  Please wear blue jeans and a choice of red, white or blue shirt for this day.

Be in much prayer that the invitations that have gone out to police, firefighters and rescue workers will bring much fruit and that we will be able to bless many who serve our community.
