i am an offering

This Sunday at Living Word was fantastic.  I think even more so than usual for me.  It wasn’t because we had a Sunday almost full of music at the church, but more because God ordained everything to work out perfectly.

I was a bit concerned about the crammed schedule of having a group from our sister church sing three songs, plus having The Ambassadors, a  Summer Team from our Bible School being here as well, plus having our own worship team leading worship.  So we decided (I should say we were prompted by the Holy Spirit) to let the Summer Team lead worship and make the service a little more of a “concert” style service.  Boy, what a great decision the Spirit led us to!

Not only was it nice for our musicians to have a bit of break, it was so good to just listen to God’s Word being sung in music.  We also learned a great new worship song by Aaron Shust that we will be singing in days to come.  And, I was helping teach some of our youth how to run EasyWorship and get this, both of these youth actually sang during the service!  It was so cool to sit between two young people who were lifting their praises to God.  Here was the song list:

• The Name of Jesus (Aaron Shust)
• Praise to the Lord, the Almighty (updated arrangement)
• Be the Centre (Michael Frye)
• Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior (Hymn by Fanny Crosby)

And, oh yeah, the message was awesome.

And we celebrated our final night of The Truth Project by having pizza and worshiping together before watching the last session.

A great day.
