I'm really looking forward to the worship experience this weekend. If you come to Church Requel Sunday evening, you might want to arrive a few minutes early. I've created a very special countdown just for this Sunday night. This "Grace Countdown" is filled with insightful thoughts about the idea of grace and really kicks off the theme for our evening together.
After several weeks in a row with a large praise band, this weekend we'll be treated to the worship-leading trio of Nate, Cody and Ryan as our praise team. Our worship songs will include "Look What You've Done," "For Who You Are," and "Jesus Lord of Heaven."
Our communion time will be even more special than normal with a continued focus on how God drenches us with grace. We have something special in mind for you - you'll be sure that you're actually getting drenched! (I promise you won't need your umbrella in the church... but you'll start to wonder!)
Before we finish we'll listen to Jillian Pierce read our Scripture, Philippians 3:1-11. (This will be the last time that Jillian Pierce will ever read to us. Don't get me wrong... Jillian may come back again, but her name won't be Jillian Pierce. She's getting married next Saturday!
Despite such wedding felicities I will do my best to remain focused on our message for Sunday evening. We'll ponder seven questions about how we live out our Christianity starting with the very most crucial: Do I view God as a rule-maker or as a grace-giver?
Remember - our new location is at Ontario Christian Fellowship, 636 S. Lexington-Springmill Road, just one mile south of Richland Mall. I hope to see you Sunday at 6PM! - Pastor Mark
