I am loving what God is doing with me and with our community through this series we’re doing on “worship.”  Yesterday I shared some practical things we can do to grow as extravagant worshippers:  Spend time in the Gospels meditating on the life of Jesus; spend time praying the Psalms; make time to gaze on the beauty of God through music, poetry, art, and nature.  But I didn’t tell you one of the tools that helped me the most in my own journey.  It is a little book called “31 Days of Praise” by Ruth Myers.  This book is “training wheels” for growing worshippers.  I challenge you to buy a copy online and use it for 31 days- it will change your life.

Bless you as you rise up into your identity as an extravagant worshipper!

The Forward House Church will have it’s next meeting on the third Wednesday of March—March 19—at 6:30 at the home of Tom and Pam Ball.  Call 348-1235 for more information.
