FANTASTIC WEEKEND

Thank you for a fantastic weekend!

Like I said, we serve a living God who is alive to heal, alive to mend the broken, alive to touch people EVERY time we come together and so much more! God really met us with a fantastic weekend.

Thank you for coming prepared with the new song and ready to flat out get it done and then abandon yourself to worship. You are truly the greatest team and I appreciate you and thank God for you every day.

SONGS FOR THIS WEEKEND

We are back! I am so excited to be home and impart to all of you from our trip.

Here is the potential song list. My mac truly kicked the bucket leaving all my song lists and previous song lists in the oblivion of somewhere.

All things
Grace like rain
Glorious One
The Stand (with the video or just the chorus and we'll add another song)

I give, all for love, at the cross (I'm open here)

Acoustic would be fun??? If so, we may tweak the first song. Thoughts?

THIS WEEK

Hey Team!

I have been on a whirlwind tour of the Northern and Eastern most states. Just prior to my leaving, my mac hard drive broke and is being replaced. I apologize for any inconvenience it has caused you. The only way for me to update our rc worship website is with the program on the mac. SO...I will be using this blog for communications.

I hope to update the song list for Sat/Sun tomorrow. I know Fuel will ROCK tonight! It is not an all-worship service but a power-packed, short service.

We return Friday so I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday at 6pm for practice.

BGV's, thank you for your dedication to raising worshipers! Terryl has the junior high set and leader for this weekend and will contact you (or probably already has).

You are a part of the best team in the world! I am getting great word and cannot wait to bring this revelation, refreshing and faith-strengthening back! I have my phone which gets e-mail so don't hesitate to text or e-mail me. I am in meetings a lot so cannot answer my phone all the time.

WE'RE BACK!

Well, I am in the office today after being away from my computer for over a week!

This Sunday went great. I praise God for such a wonderful team.

Mitch, thank you for dialing the drums to perfection!

I am leaving for Alaska (Jeff is doing a wedding) and will be back for Saturday's practice. Then I am gone all next week as well. I will update the website and blog as I get internet service.

Fuel is next week and all is posted for that. Enjoy the week and get with God!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TRAVIS AND GIA

Happy Anniversary to Travis and Gia last Sunday. Two years!

I love and appreciate the both of you. I am so proud of you!

Free

Just wanted to post and say that the new song from P. Mel and Terryl is amazing.

This song is in a league of its own. After hearing it at practice, I was driving home and it hit me, "I can't catagorize this or compare it to any other song...it stands alone!" I believe we are seeing the manifestation (...that sounds a little Christianese...sorry:-) of what has already been proclaimed, a unique sound and song out of the RC that will travel the world.

I don't know...maybe I am biassed! But I believe there is a message and a spirit to this song that will change lives!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AARON

Sunday is Aaron's birthday. Happy birthday! I thank God each day for the wonderful team player you are, Aaron. I know this is going to be your best year yet!

Thank you for giving your all in all you put your hands to. And...I couldn't find the yellow and black spandex. Sorry.

WANT TO WIN? CHIME IN!

What's your favorite Christmas song (artist and version)???

Come one, it's June and I am planning. Besides, I can't wait until July.

SUNDAY'S SONG

This weekend was a great one.

It has been posted and was on the website for a while but I want to make sure everyone is aware that TVM is in the Grid on Saturday nights and not in the Worship Center.

Thank you for your hard work at practice. I had a great time with the new song.

Second service was a service to mark in the books. We hit that "high praise" mark that is amazing! God is so faithful and keeps meeting us and bringing us into greater times with Him.

This is a testament not only of the greatness of God but also the purity, practice, passion, order...and all the core values this team holds true. Thank you!

Super job with "Life is a Highway." The kids loved it, too. Jonathan Nelson came in the church and heard the song (which is his fav) and said, "It's the Cars song, Mommy!" That's cool!

Happy Father's Day to our dads on the team. You are the greatest dads! You will have many awesome Father's Days. I pray you are blessed this week with all the goodness of God. He daily loads you with benefits!


About the guest I posted was going to join us at practice...he didn't. I received an e-mail from him on Sunday that said he wanted to do it some time in July. I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HEATHER

We want to wish Heather Eder a happy birthday today!

You are wonderful. I appreciate your passion and willingness to go "all out."

BAND CAMP FOLLOW-UP

I did not receive any volunteers to help out with band camp so we will postpone the thought until next year.

This year, our focus will continue to be writing our own songs.

I really believe it is important and mandated on us to raise up the next generation so I will continue to allow God's leading for strategy. We will do it next year!

I look forward to an incredible weekend!

GUEST AT PRACTICE

Saturday, we will have a guest minister at practice to get a feel for what we do. You may remember a handful of us who led worship in Lynnwood at A New Day church, a few months ago. Well, the music director has asked to come to our practice and just watch. He would eventually like to bring his team to one of our all-team practices when we can do workshops and they can glean from us.

This is good. We are here to help lead people to worship God. "Touching the world one measure at a time." We have the ability to help an entire church aside from The Rock, by helping this team.

If there is ever a time when you need extra focus on a part of a song or feel like you are not comfortable practicing in front of him, please let me know. We will do what we need to do in order to take care of our team. And I won't "call you out."

YOU COME FIRST. PERIOD.

WEEKEND RECAP

Hey Team,

I am so proud of you for your hard work and passion for seeing God glorified and His people worship!

You are smart, discerning and powerful. There is nothing we can't do together! I look forward to a great week. God has been good to you and He is going to bless you, this week.

Thank you for this weekend. There was a sweet presence in the house. The new song was wonderful. I was caught up in the presence of God and truly touched in the service today.

SHOUT OUT!

This week's shout out goes to Robin Davis. She plays drums, percussion and trumpet.

Robin, you struggled last night and today but pushed through without giving up. Because of that, you overcame! Thank you for your dedication and loyalty. Thank you for your passion after the things of God, righteousness and purity.

Way to go, Robin!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KYLE AND KAREN PEARSON

Kyle and Karen celebrated seven years of marriage yesterday. Happy Anniversary!

Thank you for your joy, dedication, service and support! I love you both!
