I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2
In only two short verses we see a wonderful expression of David’s heart for worship. This week as we gather, we will allow these words of Scripture to invite us into worship as well, compelling us to call to mind the wonderful deeds of our great God, and to praise and thank him with gladness and exultation. In response to this invitation we will lift our voices to sing All Creatures Of Our God And King and All Praise. Then it’s Titus 2:11-14 that points us to our “great God and Savior Jesus Christ” as we praise him together in song, proclaiming How Great Thou Art.
After our time of worship through Scripture and song, we will pray over our Giving followed by a fun and engaging Kids’ Time for all of our young worshipers. Drew Barnes will then continue our Matthew sermon series, Kingdom Come, as he looks at Christ’s teaching on Traditions and Commandments in Matthew 15:1-9. We’ll continue in our worship through Communion, respond in song with The Heart of Worship and be sent out with a Benediction. Lastly, we hope you'll please plan to stay in the sanctuary after the service for a time of prayer for our pastoral search.
Do you need prayer? Please let us know how we can be praying for you. You can drop a prayer request card in the giving box in the atrium, or send your prayer requests to: prayer@meadowsfamily.org.
Find a few moments this week to prepare your heart and mind for worship by engaging with the Scripture and songs for the week, and asking God to use our time together to build up His church and glorify Himself. This week’s song playlist can be found on Spotifyand YouTube. Everything you need to know about our Sunday worship services can be found on our website at meadowsfamily.org/sundays.
Thanks for reading this blog! I hope you find it helpful in preparation for weekly gathered worship. Moving forward, this blog will no longer be posted here on Faithlife. You can continue to read the Preparing For Worship blog on the worship page of our updated website at www.meadowsfamily.org/programs/worship and coming later this summer on our new MCF mobile app.
