1st Service!

Wow! What a powerful service! We just finished out 1st service, and thought I would blog about it. This weekend the A cappalla Singers from Lipscomb University are here with us. They did a concert for us last night. This morning, our gathering centered on the theme : The Journey to the Cross. We are taking a look at the last week of Jesus life. The Lipscomb group sang our opening call to worship and also did a selection during our abbreviated lesson time. The gathering used a lot of media. And the singing was amazing! Having 50 trained singers with you sure helps. One of the students did a dramatic reading of Jesus Prayer in the Garden. For any who weren’t able to join us this morning, here’s our order.
