Worship Confessional: July 13, 2008

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Pretty low day in attendance yesterday, typical for a sunny July weekend I suppose. I'm going to be a little more transparent than usual with this post so hold onto your hat. This is actually going to be a confessional. Over the last five years in my current place of service, ...

Worship Confessional: June 29, 2008

Monday, June 30th, 2008

This is the first time I've sat in fronte of a computer for more than a couple of minutes all day. We're gearing up for our Independence Day evening of fun at the church this coming Sunday (two days after the fact, I know). So, I don't know how much ...

Worship Confessional: June 22, 2008

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Yesterday was the start of VBS, so the entire platform was all decorated with Hawaiian decor, and many of us were wearing Hawaiian shirts and such. One of the cool benefits of the setting was the lack of pulpit (yes, we still have a pulpit). I'm going to be really ...

Worship Confessional: June 8, 2008

I completely forgot to to write up my confessional yesterday. We're full into music camp week, so my days are kind of packed. Here's the short and sweet of it, just the set list: Glory to His Name // Hoffman & Stockton Take My Life (Gloria) // Frances Havergal (lyrics); traditional French ...

Worship Confessional: June 1, 2008

Bring on the Summer heat! June 1, and we're already in the mid 90s here in North Texas. Combine beautiful, hot, sunny weather with school being out for summer and you know what that means. Everybody who can gets out of town. Funny thing yesterday was when we started the ...

Worship Confessional: May 23, 2008

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Typical low attendance for a Memorial Day weekend, but not as low as I expected. I saw a phenomenon I've never seen before. One of our folks sat down during everysong she didn't like, and stood back up for the ones she did (hymns). I'm really not sure what to make ...

Worship Confessional: May 18, 2008

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Yesterday was our last day in our iLife series on the spiritual disciplines. As the discipline highlighted was "celebration," we spent the entire corporate gathering time in celebration of the blessings of God, and the milestones He's helped us achieve. We recognized and celebrated graduates from high school and college, ...

This week's iLife discipline focus was worship. I love that we took an entire day to focus on what is the theme of my blog ;) . I think we had a great time. I did something I would not usually do, and that is cancel rehearsal for the week. ...

Worship Leader Wednesday #12, part 2

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Welcome to part 2 of Jamey Ketchum's interview at Consuming Worship Jamey Ketchum What’s the greatest “worship risk” you’ve ever taken? I don’t think I’ve done that yet. I’ve never really had to play the keyboard during worship before, but my next step will be just that—lead from the keyboard. I say that ...

Worship Confessional: May 4, 2008

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I'm so thankful for such a smooth week after an action-packed schedule the week before. I took some much needed time away from certain things (as stated in a previous post), and the relative simplicity of the weekend was glorious. We're on the final leg of our iLife series on the ...
