Sent Forth By The Blessed Holy Spirit -

    

The Worship Circle

...consists of many ministries under the leadership of 
Rev.. Carla Thompson

 

Praise is a vehicle of faith which brings us into the presence and power of God!  Praise and worship is the "gate-pass" which allows us to enter the sacredness of His Glory.     Rev. Carla Thompson
 

 

  Worship Circle Mission:


             The Mission of the Worship Circle is to advance the vision for worship at Genesis through prayerful, creative and informed reflection by continually offering up the sacrifices of praise through Worship. As a Worship Ministry we vowed to properly prepare ourselves for worship, through purification and consecration.
