New month; new series in Sunday School -- March 1, 2012

It's March 1st.  

Do you know what that means?  It means we start a new series in Sunday School this week.  Woo Hoo!

Sunday falls on one of my favorite days of the year--March 4th.  It's the only day on the calendar that's a command to go forward (March Forth!).

Our series this month is called "The Heart of Worship".  This Sunday's lesson is entitled "I Long For You".

With a new series comes a new Bible focus.  For March, it's Psalms.  Did you know that David wrote 73 of the 150 psalms?  Did you know that the Book of Psalms is meant for singing?  Did you know the Book of Psalms in Hebrew is called the "Tehillim" which means "songs of praise"?  Are you getting tired of "Did you know..." questions?

This Sunday (9:50 a.m.) we'll be discussing Psalms 42 & 43.

If you clicked the link above, you read of someone going through a rough time.  The psalmist asks that two word question we all sometimes ask--"WHY ME?".

The psalmist yearns for God; yearns to be in His presence; yearns for help in a time of need.
 
What about you?

Do you have a yearning to worship God with other believers?  Is that yearning strong enough to compel you to set out worship clothes on Saturday night?  Is your desire strong enough to induce you to set the alarm clock in time to get up and get to church? 

Each of us benefits from worship with other believers.  The musical gifts of soloists and choir, the gift of exhortation of our pastor, the goofy antics of our Sunday School teacher, and the sweet fellowship of people grateful to God for salvation contribute to meaningful worship experiences.  These experiences over time enrich our lives and draw us closer to the God we love.  People need to know Jesus Christ is the answer to their search for fulfillment and their longing for God.  Do we thirst for God like the psalmist did?

Join us Sunday morning at 9:50 a.m. as we find the pulse of the "Heart of Worship".

Loyally yours,

Darren Bayne
