BGV'S AT PRACTICE TONIGHT

BGV's had a great meeting tonight at practice. Thank you for your feedback and discussion.

We decided that in effort to continue our freedom on stage, at the very least, we will switch up places with each chorus. At other times, express the freedom by singing to one another while leading the people. Have fun! Move and be as relaxed as we are in practice, on Sunday.

We discussed Jr. High worship and how grateful the team is for those of you who are leading on Sunday morning. The Jr. Highers are learning and expressing worship because you are getting out there and leading them. We also discussed processing worship with myself, not other people, spouses, tvmers or their leaders. When in leadership, it is important that we have words of faith being spoken not just how it went. Other's will not have the burden nor the anointing we have to lead. You are also my liaison and I need to hear how it went and be able to give wisdom to you as well as others who will lead. Let the processing and wisdom be gotten through proper channels so as to continue to build the Jr. High and leaders up.

I am now aware there have been no words for Jr. High. Thank you for letting me know. As you know, I would never want there to be worship with no words. I have been told it is fixed. Please let me know if there is anything else missing or needed as I can speed up the solution.

The Grid will be open at 10:30 am for sound check and a run-through. If it is not, please let me know.

Can you hear the common thread? Appreciation and Communication! (-:

Bless you all! I love and appreciate you. The team and leaders appreciate you!

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."
