Soaking Night of Worship-Ushering Us Into the Presence of God Every first Saturday of every month is Soaking Night---a night we dedicate to praising and communing with the Father.  It is a night packed with singing worship songs and just focusing on God's goodness and majesty.  When we worship, we become aware of God's presence.  All focus on our problems, on our excess  baggage , and on ourselves just melt away.  It was a meaningful and eventful night.  So many first-timers responded to the altar call and readily accepted Christ in their hearts.   Luke 15:7  states that    "there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Truly, it was a night of great rejoicing.  "Let us come before him   with thanksgiving      and extol Him with music  and song." (Psalm 95:2)  " He put a new song   in my mouth,      a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see an
