regardless of race, to be drawn to the wonderful family atmosphere
that makes up North Pointe Church.

In our church, you may witness the follow expressions of worship:
In praise and worship, as believers, we are simply responding
to the love God has shown us and the grace He has given us in
Christ. We do not praise and worship the Lord to gain His approval,
but because we have gained His approval through Christ. Some of
the ways we express our praise are:
CLAPPING OUR HANDS
The Lord instructs us to clap our hands. "O clap your hands,
all you people... "(Psalm 47: 1). See also Psalm 98:8, Isaiah
5 5:12, 2 Kings II: 12.
UPLIFTED HANDS
We can bless the Lord by lifting our hands. "Lift up your
hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord" (Psalm 134:2).
See also Psalm 63:4; 1 Timothy 2:3.
MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE / SHOUTS OF PRAISE
The Bible teaches us to shout and make a joyful noise unto the
Lord. "Shout unto God with the voice of triumph" (Psalm
47:1). See also Psalm 35:27 and Psalm 66: 1, 2.
