Getting Ready for Worship

We start our new teaching series, called Stimulus, this weekend!  Needless to say, I'm pumped about working through the Old Testament book of Nehemiah because this is a timely message for our nation and community as we deal with a tough recession -- wrestling with how God can use these times in our lives and for His purpose.  Here's a few things you can do to get ready for Sunday:

1) PRAY!!  Pray for our worship teams & leaders, our Host Team, Children's workers; pray for me as I teach; pray for our services to be filled with God's presence; pray for our guests to experience the living Christ in a whole new way!!

2) READ NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 1.  You can read it at Bible Gateway here.  Here's some things to think about as you read: Why was Nehemiah so hurt and broken by the news he received? What was his response? When he prayed, what did he specifically pray about?

3) INVITE! INVITE! INVITE! There are lots of people around us who need a church and more importantly, need Jesus!!  Try to invite them to join you for this new series.  We've created an easy way to invite people: an email "invite" complete with the series logo, information about the series, service times, and links to our website.  You can invite someone to church on our website right now  ... from our homepage, click the series logo, and then scroll to the bottom of the page to send out invitations!!

4) BE EXPECTANT!! In faith, we can expect God to do something everytime we worship Him and open His Word so get ready!!
