It's Friday, but Sunday's Comin'!

Hey Church!

Hope you are having a great start to your weekend.

Keep the 7th & 8th graders (and sponsors) in your prayers as they are leaving momentarily for Gatlinburg to enjoy Winterfest this weekend.

The Ministry Moment for this Sunday morning, February 22nd, is REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY. This is a time for us to remember and celebrate the lives of our Otter Creek family members who have gone on to be with the Lord in the recent years. Our dear brother Bob Enkema will preside over this brief time of remembrance during our service Sunday morning.

Our guest speaker this Sunday is Charles Coulston, long-time missionary and director of Made in the Streets, for more info www.madeinthestreets.blogspot.com Though Charles will be glad to talk with you about this ministry, he will focus mainly on God’s missional call on our lives in our own setting.

To emphasize the themes of lifting up the poor, and God’s care and concern for all nations, I’ve selected two new songs.

In addition to some familiar hymns, we’ll be singing “God of this City”, an incredible new worship anthem by Chris Tomlin and friends. The Zoe Group gave us a great arrangement of this song on their 2008 release, Fearless. We’ll also be singing “Let Us Be You”, written by two Otter Creekers: Michael Lusk and Clarissa Cox. This song appears on the Zoe Group’s CD, “In Christ Alone”.

Anticipating a powerful move of God this Sunday,
Murray

Murray,

My, how time flies and life happens in almost ten years. Much has changed in your life since I last saw you!!! I was able to keep up with you a little through our mutual friends Jesse and Lisa Lee. I am thrilled to discover God's purpose for you at OC. I know the church there will fully experience the presence of God through worship just as you led us in Dallas. I can't help be reminded of our praise team in Dallas when I sing "There's A Stirring". Those times have left a wonderful and memorable mark in my journey of worship! May the Lord bless you and keep you and your family!
