This evening will mark the first evening worship service at Midlane Park since I've been here. We've had some different occasional events on the Lord's Day evening (an evangelism class, times of prayer and preparation the week before the Lord's Supper, etc.), but not an actual worship service. In the Lord's providence, that has now come to fruition -- I actually have had folks request that we do such a service!
I am looking to do something simple. The reading of Psalm 1 followed by teaching on the text. A time of psalm-singing (yes, I plan to restrict us to only psalm-singing during the evening service, which will be a way to help introduce more psalms during the morning service) will follow. Finally, we will conclude with an extended time of prayer, where we will focus of praying the greater church and God's kingdom (and not about personal prayer requests -- this is something I picked up from Mark Dever and Derek Thomas).
May God be glorified through this worship service. Our numbers may be light this first evening, as two of our psalm-singers were just married and are on their honeymoon, and another psalm-singing couple just had a baby and things are hectic for them right now. Hopefully, all will go well, folks will be encouraged, and most of all, God will be honored and glorified by His people.
