Recap: Today was a bit different in that we had three sermons. Well, we had three elders give a short talk about three events in the last week of Jesus’ life. What was cool about this is that our lay elders got to share today. We sandwiched a teaching about the Triumphal Entry, The Last Supper and The Crucifixion with music, communion and baptisms. By the way, I think about 40 people were dunked today! Also, my daughter helped me lead today. Each time I give her a bit more to grow as a worship leader and she seems to rise to the occasion every time. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to have your family serve with you. My wife was on screen duty today, as well. She does the images and switches the live video IMAG.

Worship Recap: Cannot believe its a new month and new sermon series already. Today we began a new series about the Sermon on The Mount entitled: “Change.”  We are getting low in the drum area, so I am so grateful for friends in town with Craig of Venture Christian letting us borrow Tyler who did a great job with us today on drums. Talk about generosity and the churches working to help each other. Thanks to Craig and Tyler.

We partook communion today. I got to do the setup. I made two points about it. First, I said we need to find beauty in the act instead of just going through the motions. The sunset is a beautiful thing, but if we reduce it intellectually to something that simply reflects God’s beauty rather than enjoy the sunset, we miss the point. In the same way, communion is an act that reflects the beauty in the sacrifice of love from Jesus to us. We should feel some sort of awe beyond a simple thought of it as symbolic like from a text book. Second, I mentioned how we do this together. So, I encouraged people to talk to each other in confessional tones about how they came today, ready or not. And, I encouraged friends and family to take it together.

Set List: This week, we introduced “I Cling to the Cross” which ends with a traditional refrain from “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.”

• I Will Boast – Paul Baloche
• Your Name is Holy – Brian Doerksen
• Invitation Fountain – Michael J. Pritzl
• Here I am to Worship – Tim Hughes
• I Cling to the Cross – Paul Baloche, Matt Redman
