Sunday's Report

I'm sorry I am Monday night getting a report out on Sunday's worship services. I've been in meetings most of the day and preparing for San Antonio. Things are going well and I am sure that the trip is going to be a great one. However, on to Sunday -
We had an incredible time of worship yesterday. Any time you are in the presence of God things happen, but yesterday was unique. We brought the entire choir in for our worship services, and the difference was explosive. For those of you who may not be aware, our entire choir does not sing in each of the worship services on Sunday morning. Instead, we have about 50% who sing in both services, and the rest sing in one or the other. For one reason, we don't have the choir loft space for comfort for the entire choir. Secondly, it affords the choir members the opportunity to plug into Bible Study classes during one of the service times, which is important for a worship leader.

However, having the entire choir there together made an obvious difference. As soon as they took the platform they brought with them an electric atmosphere. I often say that the congregation is a mirror image of the choir; and it's true. They modeled what their worship leaders were exemplifying and true worship took place. It was amazing to hear from people throughout the day yesterday and even this morning. I have received numerous emails and phone calls about how God showed up and spoke to people's hearts. And as I told people in response to those statements -God doesn't show up just to say "what's up?". When God speaks He means business. Sell out fully to Him. You can't give Him a portion of anything. He deserves it all.

Continue to give your all for the cause of Christ and watch in amazement at how He will choose to use you. Check back tomorrow for the treat I promised you. Lord willing, I'll have it posted before the end of the day.

WOW! Sunday was an awesome experience with a full and overflowing choir loft. I can't wait for San Antonio to join the other choirs and lift the name of Jesus up. Thank you Jeff for your leadership in the Music Ministry.
