Worship Preparation

Sunday morning there are NO CLASSES
We begin promptly at 10am with our worship service. Children age 5 through grade 2 will have opportunity for children's church during the 2nd half of the service.

We're asking you to begin preparing now (whenever you read this) for Sunday at 10am when we gather for worship...

Why prepare?

Ways to prepare:
1. Read one or all the hymns/songs we're singing
2. Read one or all the prayers we're praying

How do I read-pray through a song or a prayer? No one way is magical... but I (rob) do it like this:
Take our 1st hymn HOLY HOLY HOLY...
stanza 3
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.


Perfect in power, in love, and purity... what would i do with power? How have i abused the power I already have? Perfect in love? I really am different from God.
The Holy Trinity is perfect in love. It is amazing to think of a healthy relationship that has lasted 80 years... here we're talking about healthy inner-relating among the Trinity for something like 80 thousand years!
