E n c o u n t e r Worship Night

You might wonder about a few things you’ll see today, so let’s start
talking about them here:
 As an act of worship, some may stand, sit or even clap when they sing.
 Some may place their tithes & offerings in the front baskets or elect to wait
and give at collection time.
So, as for you: just be yourself. Take the pressure off yourself to
perform. Who knows, in the next few minutes God might grant to
you ‘Sanctuary for your Soul’.
