Psalms
1:3,6 Says, “They are strong, like a tree planted by a
river. The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves don't
die. Everything they do will succeed. This is because
the LORD takes care of his people, but the wicked will be
destroyed” (The New Century Bible Version). This tree that’s planted by the river was first taken from some other areas. God as cultivator of your soul has taken you from the darkness of sin, of that unfertile and hard ground, and placed you by rivers of water. This is a river of love, filled with mercy, redemption, and reconciliation. God blesses the individual with the cultivated waters of the Word. The Word is meditated on and committed to, by individuals both day and night. The river God provides has nutrients of grace and is full of promises. This river is a communion with Christ that is never ending, nor failing. Christ's resources are plentiful. Love is the soil at the banks of this river where you will nuzzle up in the richness of this soil of love. It is the roots of your tree becoming firm and strong. Centered in Christ, this helps us to extend God's love to all. |

| WORSHIP CONTEMPORARY MINISTRY | |
| Those born after 1960 grew up in the age of television, computers, and screens. They rely on visual pictures to experience the world, the church, Christ, and God. In addition, they rely on all their senses, not just hearing. Multi-sensory worship, worship that engages all the senses, especially the visual, speaks their language. We learned that these people make up the vast majority of the 60% un-churched in our community. Churches are reaching these folks who use praise teams, dramas, bands, symbolic objects to touch and feel, and especially, video screens, with still or motion pictures supplementing word of mouth messages.

dance is a Christian expression of prayer or worship through body
