LENT 2014 WORSHIP

Today we focus on the heart preparation of Jesus. I, along with you, rejoice in the divinity of Christ. But, in this season I often catch myself thanking God for the glimpses of humanity, transparency, and vulnerability that Jesus shows the Father and us in His last days. Today we wanted to reect Jesus intense preparation in our worship experience. The lighting will be much lower. The stage set has been stripped away. The band is down to two members. Our hope is that weve done our best to remove (or at least limit) your distractions. Take the time and this opportunity to really feel and hear The Lord. Get out of the way. Let Him speak. - Wil Brown
