SEPTEMBER 2, 2018 NEWDAY PRAISE WORSHIP | 8:45 & 10:00 A.M.
NOT ABOUT THE MUSIC PSALM 145:1-13, 21
American contemporary Christian music artist Chris Tomlin has released eight studio albums, two independent albums, two live albums, one compilation album, and twenty-one singles. Chris Tomlin might be the most recognized singer/songwriter within the contemporary Christian music industry. His music is considered among the most sung with his music being sung in over 3.12 million churches worldwide. He has sold more than 4.2 million albums and has over 6 million digital downloads. And to hear him talk about about his career, worship, his passions, you’ll discover Tomlin is a humble follower of Jesus that says, for him, it’s not about the music.... “True worship, worship in spirit and truth, has never been and will never be a trend. This style of music may be a trend, but that’s because God’s blowing a fresh Wind of His Spirit in so many people who are coming to realize that anything that just builds us up as people isn’t worth much. What gives God the spotlight is important. And that’s all we’re about.” - Chris Tomlin In NewDay Praise Worship this Sunday be inspired by hearing Chris Tomlin talk his heart for worship, his journey as a follower of Jesus, and his passion for the church. (Please note: this worship on September 2, will not be streamed live on facebook.)
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you! They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your[b] mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
PSALM 145:1-13, 21 (NRSV)

CALL FOR COFFEE CANS FOR ANGEL TREE One valuable resource that is needed for PUMC’s Angel Tree Ministry every year is coffee cans. We decorate these cans for use in delivering home-baked Christmas Cookies to the Angel Tree children. Ideally, we would like to have metal coffee cans, but we realize that they are hard to come by. A viable alternative are round 240 and 270 cup plastic coffee cans. (We cannot use square cans or 210 cup plastic coffee cans.) Please drop off clean, empty coffee cans at the Donation Depot near the church office to help with this important part of the Christmas Angel Tree Ministry.
