Below the Surface

A welcome statement to help worship be real in their time with God.

Welcome to worship
Come into His courts with thanksgiving
Come into His presence with praise

Come to worship; and be assured
You can come just as you are

You look good this morning
You showered and shaved
You did your hair and your makeup
You put on your “goin’ to Sunday meetin' clothes”

But how about below the surface?

Are you weary or fearful,
Anxious or angry?

Have you disappointed someone this week?
Have you disappointed yourself?
Do you feel like you disappointed God?

Come just as you are

Hear the Spirit’s call
Take off the mask
Lower the barriers

Open your ears to hear
Open your eyes to see
Open your heart to Jesus


Come, let us worship the Lord.
