FCCN Worship Ministry Blog: Sept. 8

Praise Team practices move back to Tuesday night

We're moving practices back to Tuesday starting next week: Sept. 13.  Modern will still practice from 6:00-8:00, Classic from 8:00-8:45.

Random thought: we've had these practices on just about every night of the week in the 6 years I've served here.  What say ye to Friday nights next year?  No?  How 'bout Monday mornings at 9:00 A.M.?  Guy Hall and I would like that. :)

4th Quarter Praise Team Schedules

Please let me know when you're not available for Oct 1- Dec. 31.  Don't forget to include if you're available for Christmas eve and Christmas Day.  Your schedules are due to me on Monday morning, September 19.

Worship Choir and Elementary Choir begins this Sunday night at 6:00!

We'll see you in the chapel, bring your red white and blue for the first night!  Drop the elementary kids off in the elementary big room.  They'll be part of the Sunday night programming up there, then join us for practice at 7:00 P.M.

Value of the Month: Matthew 18

 ¹⁵ “If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. ¹⁶ But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ ¹⁷ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector."

I love Jesus' words here.  Especially the part that says, "just between the two of you."  How wonderful it is when someone pulls you aside privately and tells you what you need to hear for your own good?  Well, probably not completely wonderful, but it's a lot better than 30 other people hearing about it before you do.

Jesus' command for us is simple and clear: first go to the person who did you wrong.  Do it privately and try to work it out in love.  If you call yourself a Christian, a Christ follower, then you gotta do it that way.
