God Worshipping with Song

This week at our weekly chapel, we again focused on God Worshipping. 
Our reflection this week was inspired by Martin Luther and rocks:

God Worshipping to me is living my life for Jesus.
A 34 year old man lived his life for Jesus, studying the Bible and
writing down 95 ways in which the church could worship HIM
more. This man was Martin Luther. The day was October 31,
Reformation Day. But that was 495 years ago and much has
changed.

But some things have NOT changed.

The Jesus that Martin Luther served is the same Jesus that I serve.




In your hand is a rock. On the rock you wrote ways in which you
can live for Jesus; ways that you worship.
We chose a rock for different reasons. One reason is because
a rock is unchanging, just as Jesus is unchanging. Another
reason we chose a rock is because just before Easter, when
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and the disciples and
people shouted “Hosanna”, the Pharisees told Jesus to make
everyone quiet down but Jesus said that if they were quiet even
the rocks would cry out! Lastly, we chose rocks because in the
Old Testament altars were often built of rocks to help people
remember special encounters with GOD. We want to live for Jesus. 
We want to give HIM our worship. HE is unchanging. Today 
we want to encounter GOD in a special
way as we sing and offer our worship.



The students then came up and placed their rocks at the base of the cross. 


Offerings of worship



 Our Kindergarten students led us in the actions of "Our God is So Big"


Our SK. 1 and 2 students recited Psalm 100. 


Mr. Mendelt Hoekstra came and led us in musical worship.


It's so wonderful to see many parents and even grandparents join us for our weekly chapel. We hope you can join us some time!
