Getting Ready for Sunday :: How to Prepare for Worship at Uptown, March 3

(You can download last week’s bulletin here, or listen to Pastor Tom’s sermon here.)

I’m posting this late from the airport in Dallas, on our way to Prague to visit and participate in worship with our brothers and sisters at Faith Community Church. Please pray for us while we are there. Our trip has been rocky so far, and our biggest hope is to make it to Prague soon enough to worship with them tomorrow evening. Worship at Uptown will be led by Paul Winter, and though those of us on this trip will not be with you, we are confident we worship in unity even across an ocean. Something interesting to note is that Prague is 6 hours ahead of us in Charlotte, NC, and Faith’s service begins at 4:30. If you do the math, you discover that our 2nd service at 10:30 a.m. happens simultaneously with Faith’s service. So each week both mother and daughter church are being called to worship at the same time. Think of us as you worship, and pray for us, as we will you.

And now, in the less than a day that remains before the call to worship, use this page to prepare.
