Happy Memorial Day weekend, Church! Im not here this weekend, but fear not! Ive left you with not only capable musicians, but familiar faces. A majority of our youth staff (some for the first time) will be leading you in worship this morning, so sing out and make them feel welcome!

Luke Domeck (normally on Rhodes piano), Braiden Wood (normally on electric guitar), and myself, are currently in Manila, Philippines playing music with Braiden Wood! We covet your prayers for safe travel, and for everyone here to be blessed by Braidens music. Its been such a privilege working musically with him (and the rest of the Genesis crew) this past year, and Im excited for what the Lord has in store for us. Church, weve been given an extremely gifted group of musicians that pour their hearts out every week when they lead you in worship, and WE LOVE IT. Know that, and be encouraged by it. - Wil Brown

NOTES

G E N E S I S WO R S H I P T R A D I T I O N A L WO R S H I P

In this Memorial Day weekend, our attention is drawn to the subject of death, the death of those who have given their lives for our country. The Bible also addresses this business of death in a very direct manner. This Thursday will mark exactly forty days since Easter Sunday. Much is made of the birth of Jesus. We certainly remember Palm Sunday, and the events of Holy Week culminating in the glorious celebration of the resurrection on Easter Sunday. But all too often, the events of the Ascension and to a lesser degree, Pentecost, are largely forgotten. Both are hugely significant to our Christian faith and have much to say about death. During that forty-day period, Jesus appeared to many people at different times, once even appearing to 500 people at one time. In a secular age of doubt and speculation as it regards to life after death and what it may or may not look likeif it even exists, Jesus gave us a certain and perfect picture of the glorious resurrection body. (It is interesting to me how intrigued the secular world is in the recent movie Heaven is for Real.) Eternal life is assured, real, and physical with dimensions beyond the four in which we now live. Is the Ascension significant? Absolutely! Rejoice! Hes coming back in the same way His followers saw Him leave. The anthem picks up this theme. - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the Peace St. Paul always greeted with the words, The peace of God be with you. This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we say, The peace of the Lord be with you and respond, And also with you. We then pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace we should earnestly desire Gods peace upon each person we greet.
