Thanks for your kind words from all of you.

It’s cool to see you guys extending yourselves to take care of the poor even in the midst of the church’s own financial troubles. It’s tough out there right now. I’m going to write a book called “How to grow your church and shrink it’s offerings!” I believe that when you open up your hand to those around you God will bless you. It’s not always monetary but God’s in control of Sunridge.

Thanks for opening your hand in sharing your insight on worship and life stuff. For a newbie to the worship scene i’m finding encouragement through your posts and networks with other blogs.

We had a great Sunday for worship. Our 9:00 a.m. service is usually the one that lags in energy and participation. Sunday we had 3 older ladies checkin out our church. They just moved from New York and they were so filled with the Joy of the Lord that it was infectious to the band and the rest of the congregation.

On the “challenge” end of worship. At the end of this year one of our key worship team guys will be leaving. A great guy and versatile musician. I had also just began the process of raising him up to lead more often.

Can we start a league around inland valley and trade musicians? We’re a church of 250-275 and I have 7 incredible drummers, 3 keyboardists, yet only one guitarist and I’ll be down to one bass player at the end of the year.

I’ll give up 3 drummers and a keyboardist who works for Roland(which comes with all the Roland gear you could want)for a guitar player…

Set list last Sunday was:

Be Glorified
Beautiful One
Empty Me
This is our God
Everlasting Go
Surrender (Lincoln Brewster)
Everything

The set look great. I even noticed the large boxes (side stage) were a different color. Hang in there about the cuts. The Lord will work this out and suprise us in an amazing way. Hugs, Lynn

I think there’s a great song by this title by The Robbie Seay band, too? Know it?

For the Kingdom,
