A NOTE FROM CHARITY:

Hey prayer people,

God has been putting a lot of songs on my heart lately that are full of aggressive faith. I want us to sing songs as a church that reflect what God is doing in and through us, as well as empower us to step out even more in this Year of Aggressive Faith!

Here's one that we'll be singing over the next couple of weeks:

It's called God is Able, by Hillsong. It reminds me of Ephesians 3:20, which Gerry has been talking a lot about lately. I feel like this song is the answer to every excuse we try to give ourselves not to step out. Our strength, our abilities, our knowledge (or lack in any of them) is completely irrelevant. Because GOD IS ABLE to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine!

I love it when you all learn the songs I post so that you can sing them out with us on the weekend. But would you go a step further with me this time? We're intentionally introducing this song in the Easter season. We have a lot of people that don't know Jesus walking through our doors this time of year. I'm praying specific things for this song...for that matter, all of the songs that we sing or words that we speak in any of our worship experiences. I would love for you to join me.

~Pray for our people who are afraid or making excuses not to share their faith. Pray that they would be empowered and emboldened to step out and take those risks.
~Pray for the people feeling discouraged or hopeless during this time, that God would touch their hearts and renew and restore them.
~Pray for those who don't know Jesus who will hear us singing and saying these words. Pray that the words would be very real to them and that they won't be able to forget them!

I am loving how God is working through each of us right now. I am so grateful to be a part of this church, and I can't wait to see what else God has for us this year!!

~Charity
