    Melissa Eberts, Worship Leader

    My name is Melissa Eberts, and I am the worship leader in our second service on Sunday mornings. I am so excited to invite you to our Worship and Prayer Night on Friday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. in our Worship Center. Childcare will not be provided, but your entire family and friends can join us for a night of worship and prayer as we glorify God together.

    I was inspired to create a night like this because I believe worshipping and praying with other believers is very important. It builds our faith corporately as we seek the Lord together. It also reflects a spirit of community and unity within the Body of Christ. Our main focus this night will be “Surrender,” on a personal and corporate level. Throughout the night, our band will be leading us in many worship songs, and we will pause for times of focused prayer, along with times of reflection. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” In our personal lives, this will be a time of reflection, surrender and asking God to show us how we can grow to be more like Him. Corporately, this will be a time of crying out to God in unity for the issues plaguing our world. It’s so important to rely on the Spirit of God to change us from the inside out to reflect the fruits of the Spirit. Let’s come together and agree that God would help us love the things He loves and hate the things He hates. That we would turn from any sin that so easily entangles us and press on to run and finish our races (Hebrews 12:1). I’m believing for a night of breakthrough! May the Lord fill us and change us, so that we can be salt and light to the world. I have been praying for this night for a while, and I have been praying for YOU! Please join us for this time of community as we worship and pray together. All are welcome!

    Kathy Scott, Director of Children & Family Ministries

    I’m so glad God offers complete forgiveness, aren’t you? It is so precious to receive forgiveness. Have you experienced that? Have you ever asked for forgiveness and felt complete release?

    Recently, I made a comment to my husband that was unkind. I walked around the house loudly for a while before I made the comment but didn’t feel any better after I said it. The day went on and I tried to convince myself I was justified for what I said but still had that nagging feeling that it wasn’t right nor was it true. Once I apologized, what a relief I felt. My soul felt light. I knew Joe would forgive me, and of course, he did. We both felt a new closeness for being obedient to the Father. There have also been times I have had to apologize to my children because my anger got the best of me. That is really humbling to ask your children for forgiveness! But our God commands us to seek forgiveness (Matthew 6:12).

    Is there someone you need to forgive for something they said or did? Or is there forgiveness you need to ask from someone? God is ready to hear you ask forgiveness. What a relief it will be for you. It will repair a relationship and get rid of that barrier between the person or between you and the Father. Psalm 32:1 says, “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” Another favorite quote by Blackaby says, “Few things are more precious to receive than forgiveness.”
