Sunday Preview

This Sunday our scripture is from Psalm 118.22-24; Ephesians 2.19-22; and 1 Timothy 3.14-15

We'll begin the service with an interesting combination of two videos: Talledega Nights and The Jesus Film. I encourage you to be on time to see and hear what's happening.

At the end of the video we'll hear words from the Nicene Creed that talk about who Jesus is.

With the words about Jesus in our minds, ears, and hearts it will be time for a service intro that will tell us a bit about what's going on and then an opportunity to greet each other.

The songs for the day begin with the Christmas Carol "Hark the Herald Angel's Sing", the next song celebrates the work of Christ on the cross and so our redeemer and the founder of our faith. Some of the song:
Turn your ear
To Heaven and hear
The noise inside
The sound of angels
The sound of angel¡¯s songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
"All to Christ the King!"

How constant
How divine
This song of ours will rise
Oh, how constant
How divine
This love of ours will rise
Will rise...

CHORUS:
O praise Him!
O praise Him!
He is Holy!
He is Holy, yeah!

Turn your gaze
To Heaven and raise
A joyous noise
Oh, the sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a king
Angles join to sing
"All for Christ the King!"

During our offering/prayer time we'll be hearing from the Sledrics who are here from Uganda. We'll also be mentioning that our Next Step class will be offered after the service. Next Step is an opportunity to find out how to get involved in ministry.

The Message "in this corner" will explore whether or not we need designated drivers in our lives.

The closing song "In Christ Alone" reminds that Christ is central to our faith and life.

See you Sunday.

Larry,

You may have had some contoversy using the Talladaga Nights clip but I thought the 2nd usage being superimposed over the other clip was very powerful.
