We’ll be closing our service this Sunday with “New W**e” by Hillsong Worship. It’s a powerful song about surrender, renewal, and allowing God to shape us for His purposes. If you’d like to listen ahead, you can find it linked below and on all major music‑streaming platforms by searching New W**e – Hillsong Worship. Let its theme of God bringing new life out of our willingness to be shaped prepare your heart for worship this Sunday.
