Sweet night up in the attic if you missed out we hope to see you back next week for the beginning of the “Sweat” series with Walt Barnes and Ed Newton. The band was rocking last night, Michael sermon was an amazing reminder to actively and passionately study God’s word for yourself.

If you are in middle school you’ll actually have your own classes and activities during VBS, ask anyone who’s been a part of junior high VBS before and they’ll tell you it’s a BLAST! Sign up for leeland/casting crowns this week at the kiosk, cost is $19 concert is at the civic center on May 1. We had several students out last night due to school activities and projects, we hope to see you up here in the attic next Wednesday night, we look forward to seeing you Sunday morning! Oh yeah, last night’s line-up? Countdown Video -The Wonderful Welcome/Needle -Everlasting God Video -Shine Message Michael B. -Nothing But The Blood

I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s Holy Word, I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path and will hide its words in my heart that I may not sin against God. Many of you may remember this pledge from YEARS of wonderful VBS memories, but last night’s sermon got me thinking about this pledge and I began to wonder if we REALLY paid attention (all those years) to the words we were speaking, the pledge itself! We are telling God that we take the time and effort to make his name known by spreading his message across the globe, we basically pledged to God, that we were going to memorize (hide it’s words in our heart A.K.A. memorize it’s words) so that we would know it’s commands and teachings. Michael gave us a TALL order/challenge last night to begin memorizing God’s word, find a friend, work on it together, work on it during your DAILY QUIET TIME. If you need materials for this task check out the Kiosk on H2O nights or shoot Michael an e-mail, we’ll be glad to get you the materials you need. Here’s last night’s line-up… Countdown Video “Digital Board” -Only To You Welcome/Needle -Hungry Game: Name That Item (in the picture) -The Stand -Hallelujah Message Michael B. “Memorize Scripture” -Heart Of Worship

As you may now notice we do video our Wednesday night services from time to time and this video was done during our 6 week series, REVIVE! This just happens to be Michael Bucy’s first series and our first video of the 2008 year. I really liked the lighting scheme we had going for this particular series, the white screen on the back wall with the LED color lighting really made the stage sort of pop. I also decided to edit a more stylish intro than we normally produce, the keyboard intro was done in the studio during post production, it was not playing before the actual service as it appears on the video.
