Hey Coastal! We’ll be introducing a new song this coming Sunday: Beneath The Waters (I Will Rise) – Hillsong

Be sure to download it and jam out on the way to work or school this week! Can’t wait to hear all of your voices!

Lyrics

This is my revelation
Christ Jesus crucified
Salvation through repentance
At the cross on which He died

Now hear my absolution
Forgiveness for my sin
And I sink beneath the waters
That Christ was buried in

I will rise
I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him
Now in Him
I live

I stand a new creation
Baptised in blood and fire
No fear of condemnation
By faith i’m justified

I rise as You are risen
Declare Your rule and reign
My life confess Your lordship
And glorify Your name

Your word it stands eternal
Your kingdom knows no end
Your praise goes on forever
And on and on again

No power can stand against You
No curse assault Your throne
No one can steal Your glory
For it is Yours alone

I stand to sing Your praises
I stand to testify
For i was dead in my sin

But now i rise
I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him
Now in Him
I live

On Sunday, August 31st, Labor Day weekend, Coastal will only be having 2 Worship Services:  8:45am & 10:15am.  There will be no 11:45am service.

At Coastal Community Church, we believe that LIFE is better together!  No one was meant to do life alone!  We were made for community.  In fact, I believe that while most people are looking for a friendly church, what they are really looking for are friends.

At Coastal, we do our best to meet that need through something called LIFE Groups.  Simply put, LIFE Groups are small groups of adults who meet in homes weekly all over Charleston to do LIFE together for a semester (10-12 weeks).  They serve together, have fun together, pray together, play together, and grow in their faith together – wherever they are at in their spiritual journey.  Over time, people meet life long friends in LIFE Groups!

This Sunday is LIFE Group Sunday – and you’re invited!  As always, you’ll enjoy great music.  I’ll share a short message about why being in a group is so important.  And then we’ll give you a chance to check out all the different Groups by visiting a table/booth representing each group underneath a large tent!  You’ll be able to meet other people checking out groups, enjoy some great snacks, have fun, and even sign up for a group!

I hope you can come!  Let’s do LIFE together!

Pastor Chris
