Overview God has brought us a mighty long way, and it is always good to pause and praise the Lord! In many churches, there are points in worship wherein a testimony, a song, or a sermon is just so good that it calls for a “praise break!” With Praise Break: Celebrating the Works of God, participants will: • Hear how people in the Bible had praise breaks! • Celebrate the faith of leaders, past and present! • Give praise for the “right now” works of God! • Have community fun in Jesus Christ! With an intergenerational game, participants will celebrate how God has worked through events and people, from the Emancipation Proclamation, to the establishment of schools and businesses, to the gaining of voting rights.
