I have been three times to the Saddleback Worship Conference and have had a blast! To see people like Lincoln Brewster or Paul Baloche lead worship and to be in workshops with Saddleback staff with the likes of Tony Guerrero make this a refreshing time for those of us who lead worship or serve on the worship team. I have brought young adults and teens with me, too. The teaching is great and to sing with thousands of others who can sing on pitch is a rare thing. Our worship team at Sunridge has gone as a retreat, some taking off time from work to attend. You gotta make it!

March 4, 2009 in Music with 0 Comments

This song, “Black and Blue is My Heart” is an original that many seem to resonate with, so I thought I would share it with all of you. We did this Sunday, March 1 in a communion service. Hope you like it.

To begin Lent, this first week of fasts will: Sweets, Treats and Self Indulgence. So, no candy, chocolate, beer, fun beverages of the same kind and no cigars for me. No dessert, ice cream. I will have coffee, however. This will be the first week fast where I will resolve to spend nothing special on myself. We will see how I do!

At www.sunridgeworship.org you can see what my church community is doing about Lent.

I am a horridly slow reader. I think the last time I finished a book this fast it was called Pirates Don’t Change Diapers. And even then it was the abridged version. If I’m honest I’m not that much of a reader. After spending years reading technical PDF’s on acoustics, music industry business and electronics theory to the tune of f=c/2 √p2/L2 +… you need something a bit fun. Which is probably why I’m drawn to pirates.

Worship Mythbusters: The Myth of Pragmatic Worship – Is our weekend service an “end” or a “means” to and end?

The Myth of Pragmatism in Worship

This is part of a series of posts began in January of 2008 about our public worship gatherings. The desire is to have a myth-busting conversation about what we do each week as Christians.

The question here addresses whether our worship services are an “end” or a “means” to accomplish something else or if our weekend worship service itself is more of the priority.
