I’m getting excited about what’s coming this Sunday as we gather together...
Not only are we celebrating 57 years as a local church, but we’ll be singing many of the old, classic hymns of our faith, as well as celebrating the Lord’s Table AND our church picnic is later in the afternoon. The picnic is always a great time.
It’s always such a joy to gather together as members of Fellowship each Sunday morning as we sing, pray, and look into God’s Word together. It truly is a joy and privilege to be your pastor, and I am thankful to God daily for the blessing it is to both me and my family.
To help you be prepared and to make the most of our time together, below are the songs and Scriptures we’ll be singing and considering this Sunday. If you have a few minutes, listen to the songs, and read the Scripture with a mindset of anticipation as to what the Lord is going to do in our midst.
And as always - be in prayer for each other and for those who will be leading in the service.
Here’s what our Worship Gathering is going to look like:
After our choir (joined by children and youth) call us to worship,
We’ll sing a Hymn Medly
I Will Sing of My Redeemer
Blessed Assurance
He Keeps Me Singing
How Great Thou Art
We’ll also get the joy of hearing some testimonies of what it has meant to be a part of Fellowship, from some of our long-time members as well as newer additions to the Body.
We’ll be reading Colossians 1:15-28, a beautiful passage that speaks of our awesome Savior and what we, as a church, are all about - proclaiming Christ to a world that so desperately needs Him.
Firm Foundation
The Solid Rock
Sermon: What Membership Means
What a joy and privilege it is to be part of the Body of Christ. We’ll be looking at what it means to be a member of a local congregation, examine some of our culture’s wrong thinking about it, and learn to think Biblically about what church membership really is. Be thinking about how you would describe or explain what church membership is to a friend if they asked.
At the conclusion of our service, we’ll come to the Lord’s Table. This picture of the Gospel is always a time of reflection and celebration as well as a wonderful reminder of our unity as a local Body of believers.
During the Lord’s Supper, we’ll be singing some beautiful classic hymns of our faith:
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Jesus Paid It All
Victory in Jesus
Don’t miss out on this wonderful time together as we focus our minds and hearts on the Lord. And as if the morning weren’t enough, don’t forget to join us for our annual Church Picnic at Landreth Park from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Bring a salad, side-dish, or dessert and join us. Bring games to play with others, maybe lawn chairs, but most of all, just bring yourself and your family for a wonderful time of fellowship as we Love One Another!
