Weekend Snapshot
Hey Northgate,
As we prepare to wrap up our Worship. message series, I just want to pause and celebrate what God has been doing among us over the last several weeks. What a memorable series! From the power going out in Week 1, and God giving us an incredibly powerful reminder of what the heart of worship really is, to Pastor Andrea’s incredibly passionate and moving message in Week 2, to the beautiful time we all shared together this weekend. I don’t think this is a series any of us will soon forget!
Worship is one of those gifts that can become so familiar that we forget just how extraordinary it really is. It can become routine, expected, or even commonplace. My hope is that this series has helped all of us rediscover what worship truly is and why it matters so deeply, not just for an hour on the weekend, but for every part of our lives.
So far the highlight of this series was hearing from Anthony, Tara, Andrea, and Becca. I am so grateful for the way they embraced our Relational Core Value at such a deep level. Their honesty, openness, and vulnerability challenged, encouraged, and inspired so many of us. It takes courage to share your story, and they did so in a way that pointed us toward Jesus and reminded us of His faithfulness. I had multiple people tell me they thought it was the best Northgate weekend they had ever been a part of. Hearing that is incredibly encouraging—not because of any one message, moment, or person, but because it speaks to the sense that God is moving among us in meaningful ways.
And we're not done yet.
I want to strongly encourage you to make it a priority to join us tonight at 7:00 (for outside worship) or Sunday at 9:30 or 11:00 as we conclude this series. I genuinely believe we're going to close it out in a powerful way, including sharing in communion together.
This will be another unique weekend, something I don't think we've done in my 15+ years at Northgate. I don't want you to miss it. More than anything, I can't wait to experience it together as a church family.
I am excited about what God has already done through this series, but I'm even more excited about what He will continue to do in us and among us in the days ahead.
See you this weekend!
