We've been humbled and amazed at what God has chosen to do in our services over the last several weeks in our series Jesus Uncensored. Highlights have been our service, "Be healed" where we got to share the story of a couple here at Cypress and how they have experienced first hand God's grace and healing power; our service "Remember Me" where we took an entire service to look closely at Christ's statement to remember Him through communion; and services like "Let's go to the other side" and "Follow me". In all of these we were able to implement ideas that were submitted by people who were previously outside of the service planning circle.
It is so awesome to get to see more and more people participate in our service planning by submitting ideas.
This has motivated me to give new attention and focus to Muse.
I hope you will join me as we grow this creative community even larger and dialogue with more ideas and creative input.
In July, we are going to continue in our Jesus Uncensored series and will address the following topics:
July 5 - Difficult statements to swallow
July 12 - Pray this way
July 19 - The Holy Spirit will lead you
July 26 - Who Touched Me?
I'll be posting more specific explanations of these shortly. But for now, what elements in a service help you connect with God?

Often, while on Tech, it's almost impossible to really connect with the service. To do so takes attention away from the Tech tasks and leads to errors. Sure, different areas can get snippets of the service, but I think really connecting with a piece is very difficult.
Dan, thanks for your feedback. I do completely understand the situation. I have found that reviewing the elements of the service before Sunday really helps me to be able to still learn the topic at hand and give God a chance to show me what He needs me to see about it. For me, I use the rehearsal tool in Planning Center to "live with" the worship set and watch any and all previews for drama and video that are available in PC. If you're not already doing this, you might consider giving it a try for a month and see if it changes your Sunday morning experience allowing you to hear from God more often even while you serve. I have found that to be my experience.
Thanks again for your input!
