27-Dec-09 Worship Plan
We intend to worship God this coming Lord's Day according to the following plan.
The Scriptures present us in the morning with the themes of our entering the true tabernacle in heaven through Jesus, Spirit-given humility and joy, and how true grace and blessing are given by God alone so that all human imitation falls short.
The Scriptures present us in the evening with the themes of how God saves us that we might praise Him, how God saves sinners because of His everlasting love, and how worship is the goal of all thinking about God.
Of course, we will also sing and pray the thoughts of God after Him.

We intend to worship God this coming Lord's Day according to the following plan.
The Scriptures present us in the morning with the themes of Jesus as God's mercy seat for us, how Jesus' kingdom is alive and almighty even when it seems hidden, and how God's grace to us in Jesus is so complete that nothing can be added to it and so real that it cannot be faked by man.
The Scriptures present us in the evening with the themes of Jesus' owning all of our thoughts, words, and actions; God's great blessing to us in Jesus and for Jesus' sake; and, how God's unstoppable love for sinners should soften our hearts toward all sinners.
Of course, we will also sing and pray the thoughts of God after Him
Reminders and Worship Guides for the Lord's Day, October 18, 2009
You may download the orders of worship for the morning and the evening services [here].
Remember that the Bible Classes will all meet at the main building for a DVD presentation.
Also remember that we plan to have an after-Lord's-Day-party in the gathering room after evening worship.
Finally, anyone who wishes for Second Helpings of Word and fellowship is invited to the pastor's house (217 3rd St NW) for Sunday Dinner after morning worship. We're having a cheesy chowdery concoction that smelled and tasted so good in the making that our family now calls it, "The White! The White!"
