In reflecting on the service this morning, I am reminded of what a privilege is to worship together with the people of God where:
The Word of God is faithfully proclaimed. Pastor Mark had a sobering sermon on the sufferings of Christ where he pointed out that to remember the cross is to remember the journey to the cross.
The congregation lifts their voices together in song to God. I saw the eyes light up this morning as we sang How Great Thou Art with just the stringed instruments. Brad played the mandolin instead of the drums and I used a pattern pick on the guitar for new and graceful arrangement of the classic hymn. Our new song this morning was It is Not Death to Die, and it will be a rich addition to our playlist.
Here are all the songs we did.
