their three children utilized their gifts for the Lord
and invested themselves in our worship and in the Hispanic
ministry. My prayers are with the Riveras, and I know
that God will lead them into a new ministry for him and his
kingdom.
During the coming months, the Celebration Service
(10:30 a.m.) will be undergoing changes. We hope to
retain the informal and contemporary flavor of the service
while enriching it with some of the traditional
elements. There will be a blend of both traditional and
contemporary music and worship forms. The Chancel Choir
will sing an introit and anthem near the beginning of the
Celebration Service. Paul Rock will lead the
congregation in singing praise and worship songs. If you
have been attending the Celebration Service, I would ask you
to be patient with us as we try some new things. If you
have been attending our Traditional Service (9:00 a.m.), I
would encourage you to sleep in some Sunday and visit the
Celebration Service. Please pray for the pastors, church
staff, and elders as we seek God's direction. We welcome
your suggestions and feedback.
I realize that this is a
difficult transition for many in our church family. It
is for me. I am happy to meet and talk with any of you
to answer questions and hear your concerns or dreams for our
church. |
