We are in the last few weeks of our series BECOMING A HEALTHY CHURCH.
Today we focused on the characteristic of GOD INSPIRING WORSHIP. The whole service was about worship. We even broke up the sermon part into three sections and had video, songs and scriptures that talked about worship. I like it when we can have an experience that is "out of the box" and not your typical Sunday experience. I think it worked well!In a recent survey this characteristic was the strongest in our "Strength" areas. I'm glad to see that, but that doesn't mean that we've arrived. We still have work to do in defining what "worship " is and isn't.

(Vacher/Sellars) I was so excited to do this song today. My friend, Chris Vacher, helped co-write this song which is the anchor song on the compilation of the same name which is worship songs written and sung in Canadian churches (except today it was sung in a Texas church). It's a great song and we'll keep singing it a while.Scripture Reading (Psalm 24/ Psalm 95)
