Its Wednesday and I am just now sitting down to blog about Sunday. And to be honest, with all the planning that goes into Holy Week, I have to be reminded of what happened last Sunday.
I began the service underwhelmed as our attendance seemed so low. Folks settled in and we ended up close to our average attendance but we were teeny in the beginning.
I was quickly heartened, however, by the spirit and thrust of worship. The metaphor for the day was “treasure” and our goal was to enlighten in all of us the need to seek the treasure that God has prepared for us. By treasure, I do not mean some material gain or even some spiritual high; by treasure, I mean life in the presence of God- knowing Christ and sharing in the life He desires to live in us.
The music Sunday was incredible.
The praise team lead us in some great music and the congregation sang well. I was blessed.
Our choir has been rocking lately and Sunday was no exception. My understanding is that their Easter music is really cool!
Judi sang one of my favorite songs from the PK movement. She did a great job and words to the song are powerful.
All I once held dear built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this
Knowing you, Jesus knowing you
There is no greater thing
You’re my all you’re the best
You’re my joy, my righteousness
And I love you ,lord
Now my heart’s desire is to know you more
To be found in you, and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
