The web is just fantastic. Now they've even a site with sermons all prepared with Power Point Presentations. Of course you'll have to sign up as a member. The pro of this is there is aid for church workers. The con side is aren't full time pastors supposed to be devoted to prayer, the word and preaching? Acts 6:2

Going Double

We are going double in September. As we prepare to double our worship service, we know that more is required of the worship team. The strategy is for the same team to play twice each Sunday.
1. Did I hear 'play twice'. Wow! - playing twice - what an honor. To be able to do the thing you love and are gifted for a second time - what an honor. Its like a double helping of ice-cream, double delicious cakes, double premium Brazilian coffee...or double any food you like to eat.
