May God be merciful and bless us.
May his face smile with favor on us.
Interlude
May your ways be known throughout the earth,
your saving power among people everywhere.
May the nations praise you, O God.
Yes, may all the nations praise you.
Let the whole world sing for joy,
because you govern the nations with justice
and guide the people of the [...]

Worship Confessional: October 28, 2007

29, Oct 2007

We went old school in terms of song selection (read: 80s). There was a definite theme woven into the music as always, but it was blatantly obvious, something I usually try to avoid. However, the nature of the selected songs coupled with our church's culture, nearly guaranteed "home run" in terms of communication.
Attendance was down [...]

Shameless plug…

24, Oct 2007

I won't do this very often, but I wanted to let everyone know that I've passed the blogging bug on to my family. My wife and my two older children just started blogging last week, and they're doing a fantastic job.
Would you consider stopping by their blogs every once in a while? My kids would [...]
