We had a great morning of worship on Sunday - in the midst of quite a bit of pain and suffering going on in our state.

A great time of worship.Mother's Day is coming up - got a little something from the kids this coming weekend for the congregation. Really…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – April 17, 2011

Not your traditional Monday Morning recap - as yesterday was our Palm Sunday worship service. We opened with Viva la Vida. I'll post the video soon that explained why we opened with that song - and my take on the lyrics. We did new songs from Tim Hughes, HIllsong United, Tommy Walker, Andy Gullahorn, Bethany Dillon, Handel (yes really) and Jared Anderson, and a couple custom hymn arrangements that I've done. Great time of worship. Over 100 people involved from the choir, to the band to the tech. Really looking forward to a great time of worship this weekend. Easter…

1. Favorite Dance Moves - We were sitting in the den the other day - and Michael Jackson flashed on the screen - and my kids went nuts. I then informed them that we had a blu-ray "This is It." They thought I bought it just for them, and i became the world's greatest dad. They sat captivated .... and then something happened. [vimeo 22121151 w=451 h=250]Boys and MJ from Jasonsears Music on Vimeo. 2. Favorite promo for a kids musical - Thanks Will Giuliani! This is the long version of our promo - highlighting most of the songs used…

O Love…

Come join us this Sunday morning for our special Palm Sunday worship service - O Love.I'm so excited about this one. It's been a great journey over the past few months as the choir has been preparing. The texts of these songs are incredible - and my hope is that the congregation is able to come to the table with whatever baggage they may have - to whatever degree they feel unloveable, outcast, or in fact have trouble loving others - and find the unconditional, undeniable, unearned love in our Savior.Make sure to join us at 9 and 10:45 this…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – April 10, 2011

This is getting ridiculous. If I can't commit to a Monday morning... We opened on Sunday with a song I wrote called Awake My Soul. After our call to worship we sang Paul Baloche's Hosanna, Come Thou Fount, Here I am to Worship, and You Gave Your Life Away. Our offering song was Lift High - such a great tune. For communion we sang Beautiful Things (by Gungor) and another tune I wrote called Endless Praise. Our Palm Sunday program is this Sunday - don't miss it. Taking the full hour of worship - come be reminded of God's love…
