    After much prayer and discussion, the Friday worship team has decided to switch from Friday night  to an early Sunday evening time.  We hope that you help us pass the word to others!  Our new 6:30 worship time will begin in January 2009.
 
   In the interim, we'd encourage you to read through the blog to get an idea of some of the worship services we had this past summer/fall.  Our prayer is that the worship experience will be more than just a one night stand. We hope it will invoke new insights, questions, thoughts, reflections, ideas, etc., and open your heart and mind to God throughout the week.

    
    This is a place where you can throw out a couple of lines so others can nibble on them, but be prepared for some tugging.  Some may take the bait and respond with their own reflections!  Add your reflections and thoughts prayerfully.

    And remember, you are always welcome to share your thoughts, struggles, experiences, reflections, etc., during the next worship experience.

8/1/2008  - Embodied Worship: Trusting God with Our Burdens.  Our worship experience this week was based on the scriptures I Peter 5:7-11 and Matthew 11:28-30 which encouraged us to give our burdens to God and to help others with their burdens.  We were invited to write our burdens on pieces of paper and tie them with ribbons before placing them in a basket - a symbolic way of handing over our burdens to God.  A story called The Burden was read aloud, and the burdens of others were shared and then lifted up to God on their behalf.   The worship time ended with the burning of our burdens (outside of the church!).

Are you someone who has trouble trusting God with your burdens/problems/worries?  Do you think you are responsible for fixing them?  Are you afraid God won't be able to handle the situation?  Or are you embarrassed that your problem is too small for God to care about?  What burdens are you carrying today?  What do you think would happen if your burdens were shouldered with the help of the Almighty?  What effect do your burdens have on your attitude and outlook on life?
