Here’s the "box score" for this past weekend at Granger Community Church.

Music: "Marvelous Light" by Charlie Hall

Message: "Every Beat Counts" — Mark Beeson, Senior Pastor, taught how God has a plan and purpose for our lives and confirmed that every life counts. Using an illustration from Ed Young at Fellowship Church, Mark talked about the various people that gather around the table to hear the teachings from God’s Word. He then encouraged us to push away from the table to serve rather than getting stuck in the "I-chair." You can pick up Ed’s original messages in "The Table" series at CreativePastors.com.

RhythmService Highlights: The service included a video of a guy and a woman riding a bus together. The guy created some rhythms throughout the bus ride while the woman watches. At the conclusion of the video, the woman adds her own ending, though, to demonstrate that every beat counts. The live experience included three guys hanging from the rafters and creating fun beats using the items that have been hanging from the stage set.
