Good Friday morning Church Requel!
This is another "Super" big weekend for us! We "kick-off" Saturday night by serving the neighborhood meal. Don is organizing it but he will need many hands to pull it off. Please show up by 4pm. We serve the meal at 5pm. We are usually done by 6pm. (We have discovered the parties the night before to be truly super!!! - though there will be no ice sculptures this time.)
Sunday morning we begin with our worship "in motion!" You'll want to make sure you don't have an "offsides" by arriving late or you'll miss Don and Vanessa, who will start us off.
You are more than welcome to bring all the guests and visitors you would like. We have suspended the rule for too many players on the field. The more the merrier!
Our praise team will begin with a triple option - all by Hillsong: "Man of Sorrows"; "Another In The Fire"; and "This I Believe."
Unlike the other event happening Sunday, there will be no ticket prices for entry into church. Your free-will offering from a compassionate and loving heart will be more than satisfactory. You need not worry about instant replay - you will only have one opportunity to give. If you would like to do so online you can go to Give.ChurchRequel.com.
Brandi will lead our prayer time and Brian will lead our communion time. No red flags will be thrown during these times, but red wine and bread will be welcomed.
Yours Truly will continue to teach from Romans 8, this week focusing on verses 3 and 4. The title to the sermon is "Why I Am Not Condemned." No penalties will be assessed for those who are in Christ Jesus! If you would like an advanced look at the playbook for Sunday morning, check it out here. http://bible.com/events/48843151
There will be no halftime festivities Sunday morning, however our Praise Band will come back on the platform for a second half worship set. It will be "Fierce" (by Jesus Culture), reminding us that "God So Loved" (by We The Kingdom.)
If you can't be at the church Sunday morning, no reason to turn the ball over... You can watch online on Facebook or on YouTube. Here's the YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/9_2xmdWHgaI. Actually watching on YouTube is a real deal - completely FREE with no annoying $5 million 30-second commercials!
So don't "bowl" yourself over cheering for a team you don't really care for anyway. Come root for Jesus along with all your best friends. All the trophies will be tossed to Jesus' feet, Lombardi's included! So don't miss the true super event Sunday morning! Rah!
Your loving and leading cheerleader, Pastor Mark
