DR Meeting tonight

Hey there everyone! I hope you are having a glorious Wednesday morning. God is doing some great things in our ministry and one of those things is we are heading to the DR in about 5 days! Can't wait its so stinking exciting, but still some small detail stuff to get together.

Tonight we are having our last and final meeting before we leave, it will intense because we have to get one last thing planned before we go! So tonight for those students who are going on the DR trip meet here at 6pm @ cvmc and we should be done no later then 8pm. Remember to bring your passports so we can copy them and get copies to where they need to be.

I am wicked pumped to head out on this trip, please be praying students that are going, and parents that are here, and people who don't really have any connection besides you are just reading this! We need as much prayer as we can get. We need to continue to surrender this trip to the Lord. God is awesome and we are expecting some great things.

Can't wait to see you guys tonight. Hope to see you all tonight!

The Tuesday of Craziness

Howdy everyone, I hope you are all having an amazing day. I know this morning was a little crazy since we are starting to move, and get things around we had to move a table today but we woke up late so we have to move later tonight, but we let our puppies out with us to move this table. Well Spartacus decided that these little kids were a security threat to our well being and so he ran over and started barking at these little kids riding bikes. These poor kids were so scared, and didn't speak English very well so they were really scared. I felt bad for those kids, but the bad thing was that Spartacus ran 4 houses down to bark at them.

Oh well,

So last nights Junior High Bible study went awesome, we talked about creation, and asked some specific questions about the garden, and why God made what He made. It was pretty awesome. We got to draw and think about all sorts of things. God moves in amazing ways, especially through very creative 7th and 8th grade minds!

So today we are week away from going to the DR, and 6 days away from our Junior High heading out to Dayton Ohio! So please be praying for our students, and for the leaders going. God is going to be doing some amazing things.

Worship Pt 3

Meeting God in worship impels us to carry on the mission of Jesus in the world. Mission flows directly from the worship of the Church and the two cannot be severed. In her book Everyday Justice, Julie Clawson writes, “Worship doesn’t merely involve enacting the cultural rituals of worship or personal piety, but more importantly, it involves how we treat others. […] Following God in full obedience in as an act of worship, which means that acting justly is part of what it means to worship God.”

Living a life of true worship means feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and imprisoned. In fact, Jesus promises that when we do these things, we actually meet Him in the faces of those we love and serve (Matthew 25:31-46). Here mission and justice become worship.

Matt Redman addresses the connection and cyclical nature of worship and mission in his song “Mission’s Flame”:

“Let worship be the fuel for mission’s flame
We’re going with a passion for Your name
We’re going for we care about Your praise
Send us out
Let worship be the heart of mission’s aim
To see the nations recognize Your fame
‘Til every tribe and tongue voices Your praise
Send us out”

The first lines from each verse describe mission flowing from worship and mission flowing to worship. The aim of mission is God’s holistic restoration (physical, spiritual, emotional, socio-economic) so that all people can come into His transforming presence. In the bridge of Redman’s song, he describes the scene from Revelation 7: people from every tongue and tribe and nation will one day be clothed in white, gathered around the throne of God in worship.
