Happy Thursday!
Here’s what you need to know this week.
This Sunday
Full worship ministry is leading. Call time for instrumentalists, praise team, and A/V is 8:00am on stage. Choir meets in the choir room at 8:35am.
The sermon text for the day comes from Matthew 28:16-20, and Pastor Scott will be preaching.
We’re singing Blessed Assurance, God So Loved, In Christ Alone (with Solid Rock), and Jesus Saves.
Notes
Schedule reminder: we will have no worship ministry rehearsals next Wednesday (Oct. 30). We will be having our church Fall Fest during that time.
Stevens Street will have a float in the Christmas parade this year (Dec.14). Eric Edgemon will be taking the lead on this project, and if you’d like to help, you can contact him at Edgemon.eric@gmail.com or 931-265-4215.
Christmas in Cookeville has been scheduled for December 13 and December 15. Please mark your calendars and plan to be a part! It’s going to be great. The week of the services, we will have three important rehearsals. Please plan to attend these as well:
Sunday afternoon, Dec. 8 (time TBD): band/orchestra only
Tuesday evening, Dec. 10 (6-8p): full rehearsal
Wednesday evening, Dec. 11 (6-8p): full rehearsal
Prayer requests
Jack Dillon (Grace’s husband) in the hospital with heart issues.
Reagan Bagci, continued prayer for healing and further treatment.
Ronnie Franz, friend of Mike/Shauna Buckner, diagnosed with brain tumor and seeking next steps.
Ricky Gentry (former choir member and brother to Kim Hanna), sick at home.
An Extra
Here’s a great article on corporate worship services from John Piper with some absolutely excellent nuggets of wisdom for us as we plan and lead worship. Notice these main points:
Worship should include truth, and appropriate response to that truth (delight!)
Worship should primarily be the act of the congregation, not just the pros on stage.
We seek musical excellence in order to not be distracting.
Songs needs to be singable, especially by men.
Preaching is an act of worship itself!
See you Sunday,
Andy
