Last evening the faculty had the great privilege of ministering in song at Sunshine Freewill Baptist church in Huntington. We absolutely love the church and the people!
Our dear friend, Levi - who attends MSSGM every year - and his sweet wife, Rebecka and adorable little boy, Samuel attend Sunshine and we've been able to drive down to Huntington one Sunday night each year for the past three years and fellowship with those dear people.
We also got to hear a message from Pastor Jody Fortner, which was a blessing, about preparing your hearts for worship on Sundays. I think that's something church musicians, especially, don't think about or don't take time to do - not intentionally, of course. Because often times when it comes time for church service, we're pre-occupied with selecting music and making sure that we have someone for the special right before the sermon and other little things that go into a service, that we forget about the big picture. We don't mean to forget, but we're often too busy concentrating/worrying on the little things.
So this week before prayer meeting, before chruch services on Sunday - prepare your heart for worship. Go to the church with gladness in your heart, thankful to God for all his many blessings - and especially thankful for the people whom he's planted in your life in your local church.
