Practice Notes for October 23

Happy Wednesday Choir!

I'm looking forward to a great Sunday morning this coming week!  We'll be singing "Hail to the King" in both services and we need a good strong bunch to pull this one off so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make plans to be there for BOTH services....we're singing as the Offertory in the 1st service and as the Call to Worship in the 2nd service!

Here's what we'll be working on Sunday night:

How Beautiful - Anthem


Celebrate the Day - Christmas Musical


And we'll close out with our devotional thought for this week!

Who Is This Christ?
We Christians hold an unusual view of religion.  We believe that our God created us, that He gave us free will, that we sinned, and then that our God died to forgive our sins.  When we begin to investigate other religions from around the world, we discover that other religions include gods that punish their followers and offer no hope of reconciliation.  Only the Bible offers the true hope and promise that if we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior that we can be adopted into our God's family.  Isn't it wonderful to understand that our Creator and God wants to have a restored relationship with us?  And isn't it great to know that the restoration costs us nothing?  And isn't it sobering to know that the restoration costs Jesus His life?

Lord Jesus, as we use musical worship to draw our congregation into Your presence, teach us how to share with the lost in our churches how to come into a saving relationship with You.

"But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God" - John 1:12


"Salvation comes through a cross and a crucified Christ." - Andrew Murray


See ya Sunday,
Jeff
