PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Psalm 122:1 
“I was glad when they said unto me ‘Let us go to the House of the Lord’”. 

Amen and Hallelujah! 

Psalm 133:1 
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in unity!” 

Sunday, we saw both of these Scriptures fulfilled. What a wonderful day to be back in the presence of our church family, gathered to worship and praise. All of our teams did an excellent job in the “soft launch” that allowed us to check all of our systems. Not one complaint about the effort to prescreen and then to screen everyone attending as a caution. Anyone not feeling comfortable with answering the general health questions and having your temperature taken may want to wait until screenings are no longer an issue. You do this not for yourself, but for your love of others. You are motivated out of love and a servant’s heart not fear. Thank you for spreading the love…not a virus…of any kind.
THREE SERVICES THIS SUNDAY
This Sunday, June 7, we will start back with three, count them, 1,2,3 worship opportunities for our church family and friends. The first service will be at 9:00 in the Worship Center/Sanctuary. The 11:00 service will also be in the Worship Center/Sanctuary. Both of these services will be exactly alike EXCEPT for this..we will have a BAPTISM at the 11:00 service! Hallelujah and Amen. 

The 10:00 Worship Service will be outside under the tent. This will provide an open feel for those who would be more comfortable outside. (If it is raining on Sunday, no service outside.) The music at the 10:00 service will be completely different in style. It will feature, what I call, a little more folk sound, some older songs and a few rock classics that have been baptized.

We will evaluate all three of the services to make sure they are meeting the need of our family and friends. I had a non-church member contact me to say he would start attending because he and his family like the early service that gives them the rest of the day to enjoy!
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR TEAMS AND STAFF 
Offering our best could not happen without the large number of volunteers we have. There are too many teams to list so let’s just offer a great big thank you to them all. You are the best and we give thanks to God our Father for your willingness to lead and serve.
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION 
My prayer: 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 

Blessings,

Pastor Tom
