WORSHIP ARTS MINISTRY

Worship is what we will do in Heaven, 24x7, so we take our worship time at First seriously!
From the Sanctuary Choir down to the Cherub Choir, there is a place for everyone! 

NOTES FROM PETER:

Happy July everyone! We are in the midst of summer, and between all the vacations, sports activities, and relaxing, I hope you are spending quality time with families and fellowshipping with your brothers and sisters in Christ. There are lots of opportunities in July to gather with members of our church family for different times of fellowship, and I hope you will take advantage of each one that has been designed for you! One great gathering for our youth is on Sunday, July 14th, from 6-8pm in the Student Center. We will be hosting a Praise and Worship night! Bring your youth for this special evening, where they will get to worship the Lord and fellowship with friends!

I was thinking this week how many ways the different generations in our church family worship, from kids' choirs, to youth worship. Sanctuary Choir, and Sunday services. We were created to worship, created to be worshippers. Psalm 95:6-7 says, "Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneed before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care."

Worship is our purpose in life, as redeemed people of the Lord, we are set apart to praise Him. If you are a parent, teaching your kids this purpose is especially important. Currently I am reading a book by John Bolin, called How to Spell Worship with Your Family. In it he says, "Parents, hear me clearly: Your purpose is to train your kids to be worshippers. Everything else comes second. If they struggle in other parts of life but remain a true worshipper, you have succeeded as a parent because God will use them mightily no matter where they are called in life." I hope you take this summer to worship with your kids at home, and model for them what a true worshipper looks like. Please reach out to me for materials to use at home to facilitate your family's worship! It is a pleasure to worship with you all every week!
