Preparation for Sunday, November 29, 2009
We will be celebrating the Advent season at Crossbridge over the next 5 weeks. During the service this Sunday, Chuck will be explaining Advent and why it is so important for us to remember the promised coming of the Messiah to the Jews, the coming of Jesus being born in Bethlehem, the promised return of the risen Christ in final victory, and the continual coming of Christ into the lives and hearts of believers. Advent is also a time where we will sing gospel centered hymns that are particular to this season. I will not list all of these hymns that we will be singing but I wanted you to know that you will not want to miss the first 5 minutes of the services during Advent!
Song Preparation: I encourage you listen to these songs each week so that you are familiar with them by the time we sing on Sunday. I always find that becoming more familiar with the lyrics to a song gives me more freedom to be led by the Holy Spirit as I worship. We won’t play these song exactly as they sound below but this is a good start!
Songs:
Liturgy:
The liturgy this week will revolve around the explanation of the Advent season and the lighting of the Advent candles. Again you do not want to miss the first 5 minutes of the services during Advent!
I hope you all have a gospel centered Thanksgiving and look forward to worshipping the Lord with you this week.
Ben
