Monday morning Recap for Sunday – May 16, 2010

The Kids led in worship yesterday. As Bob put it - the kids have a way of leading us to more uninhibited worship - and we presbyterians could stand a bit more of that. I will say that i was astounded by how many fists I saw in the air during the chorus of "let the praises ring."For those interested - yesterday's team consisted of a full band (from my normal teams), a youth trio (made up of the youth that work with our kids on Sunday mornings), a 6-voice kids praise team, and 58 kids (78 during 2nd service)…

Monday morning Recap for Sunday – April 25, 2010

Patrick and the Youth worship team led worship in my absence yesterday. We have the best youth ministry and the best youth staff in the country - Patrick's very talented not only in discipling and shepherding youth - but also in leading worship. It's great to be able to leave knowing that it's so well taken care of. If your kids aren't in our youth ministry, and actively engaged - they should be. Encourage them to come. Drop them off. Get them a ride with the neighbor's kids. Do what it takes to get them plugged into what's going on…

Monday morning Recap for Sunday – April 18, 2010

Greeting interweb. We had a different flavor to the band sound last Sunday - as I had a good friend playing fiddle - as well as a mandolin, 2 acoustics, and hollow-body bass. Great feel for the service. We opened with What a Savior. After our call to worship, we sang Come Christians Join to Sing, Amazing God, Center, and In Christ Alone. Our offering song was Christy Nockel's A Mighty Fortress - really, really, really great tune. For communion - Julie sang I Belong, and then we sang Streams of Living Water (RMM). Youth are leading in worship this…
