It’s unbelievable that a new school year is about to start. And while most of us are too old to step back into the classroom when the first bell rings this fall (you can try, but you’re likely to get some odd looks and be escorted from the building), we’re all affected – even those of us who don’t have kids. Don’t believe me? Just think about how nice it’s been not getting stuck behind the school bus these last couple of months!
We’ve also got some changes and happenings within the life of the church that are taking place around the same time. Here’s the run-down:
1. In case you didn’t already know, the Sunday service times, they are a-changin’. There will no longer be the 8:30 service, the 9:50 service or the 11:10 service. Instead, we’re moving to two Sunday morning services at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Of course, the big part of this is that we’re opening up the new building so we’ll technically have four services now!
2. Worship: In the Worship Center, Jerry Coursey will be leading worship to blended music (similar to what we currently do). In the Expanded Worship Center [some people call it "the new building", "the youth building" (really Wayne Naugle calls it that in an attempt to overtake it), "Worship Center v2.0", "Worship Center, The Sequel", "The Worship Center Strikes Back", or "The Purple People Seater"], Justin Melton will be leading worship. Maybe you prefer worshiping God to one style of music over the other and you’ll choose to attend one of those services regularly. Or perhaps you like both and will flip-flop between services. Or maybe you love both styles so much that you’ll sprint from one building to the other and back again in a total panic, just trying to soak it all in. Whatever you decide, we’re excited to have this new space and more opportunities for true worship to take place.
3. Wednesday Nights: Wednesday nights are going to offer those who can’t be there on Sundays the chance to essentially experience the same service that just happened the Sunday before. Ronnie will deliver the same sermon from the previous Sunday and Justin will lead worship in a more laid-back, acoustic style (think of it as Justin Unplugged. Or not.).
