October 13th - We had a great night at Awaken last night! We continued our series titled, “The Songs We Sing”. Mel Strom has been leading us through this series. We began our worship with several songs. After singing together we talked about the songs we sing. The song last night was “The Beauty of Simplicity”, by Telecast. This song was written by a pastor who was pastoring a worship service of 18 to 30 year olds, very similar to us. Mel talked about the meaning of what we sing when we sing of the beauty of simplicity. We talked about how it is a song that is sung together as a community. In the song it says, “And all God’s people say… We love You.” Mel talked about the song’s connection with 1 John. In 1 John 4:19 it says, “We love because he first loved us.” Lines in the song straight from the bible. It is great to get together and connect the songs we sing and understand a little better why we sing the songs we sing. After a little bit of talking we had a time of prayer and then we closed with one final song
October 6th - A great night of worship. We began our worship with several songs. Then we began our series, The Songs We Sing. Mel Strom is the speaker for this series. Mel talked to us about the David Crowder Band song, “Everything Glorious”. We talked about how God makes everything glorious, we talked about how we are made by God, and that what does that make us? (glorious!) We talked about how when we sing the song we are making a proclamation in our singing that God is glorious. From glory to glory, You are glorious. After the message we had a time of prayer in during which Patrick played the song “Everything Glorious”. We then closed with one last song together. It was a great kick off to an exciting series.
September 29th - Last night at Awaken we had a prayer service. We began our worship with several songs. After singing some songs we prayed. We had several prayer stations set up around the room at which we would pray. At one station, we meditated on a scripture about loving our enemies and praying for them. We prayed that God would work in our lives and others lives, and that God would bring us into a deeper relationship with one another that revolves around God. We prayed for the “hopes” that we have. We prayed for situations or problems that arise everyday within our community, nation, and world. We took some time to simply be still and silent, listening to God. At one prayer station we made sandwiches for the patrons of the Presbyterian Night Shelter. While making the sandwiches we prayed for the person who will eat the sandwich, the nutrition they will receive, the hands that will serve the sandwich, and the spirit to serve. We used the prayer board to share any joys, concerns, or celebrations with each other. And finally, we prayed for the Invisible Children organization. We pray for the leadership and all of those involved, including the children. Along with that our offering for the next three weeks, not including last night will go to Invisible Children. After a time of prayer we came back together and closed our worship with one last song. It was a great night!

Well Complete! Back in January we got together and talked about Water. We raised money over a months time to send to The Water Project to help build a well. I just got the word today for The Water Project People that the well we helped build is complete! ”The Emusanda Community well was completed just days ago. Both children and adults have been lining up to gather clean, safe drinking water – now only steps from where they live!”
