Greetings! 

Hey folks, do you have a favorite basketball, football, hockey or baseball team?  Do you sit in front of the TV and excitedly yell out when they score or go to the game and get caught up in the fervor of the crowds?  Do you enjoy singing their fight songs, applauding their success while cheering them on when they are losing? I know that I always am excited and enthusiastic when supporting my teams and I doubt that you are any different.

As Christians we are part of God's team and as the music says..."Get all exited, go tell everybody that Jesus Christ is Lord".  This Sunday's service is a way to do just that.  It is a way for us to build our enthusiasm in our worship and praise of our Lord while preparing us to face the new week.  So let's get excited as we celebrate God's love for us.  Let's carry that message outside our circle of church friends and into the community.  Have a great week and Cheer God On!
