I will surely miss the worship experiences I have been a part of at Sunridge, my former church. Here is a tribute to the last three years. One of the best group of volunteers in music and tech served with me during these three years and I will dearly miss you guys and the amazing people of Sunridge! Now, I am excited about the possible next steps God has before me. Blessings!
Recap: This was a special weekend in that two young worship ministry guys converged in a social media connection that could only happen in the 21st Century (see photo). Nick Arbuckle is a worship leader and student from Texas who found me at a conference via twitter last summer and ended up being our worship intern this summer. Sean Pritzkau is a student from Rochester, New York who intends to serve as a pastor some day. He has followed my blog and I his since he was in high school. Sean ended up staying the night at my house and sitting in on guitar on a song. Both these young men are impressive and I am humbled to have some part in their lives and am excited how in the 21st Century I can pray with a native student in the Philippines and encourage the next generation here in my church and elsewhere in North America.

Recap: This was a Sunday I led worship after taking 12 days away on vacation. It was great to be back! Nick did super job the previous week. See and read about it on his blog. All I can say is we did have to scramble a bit behind the scenes with last minute cancellations and other minor fun things like printers not working and copy machine jams. But, our team as usual did a great job. Thanks to Sunridge music and tech people for coming through for our church week after week! (more…)
Recap: This past Sunday our Interim Pastor, Brit, was back in the pulpit with the “Iron Man” series which is a look at spiritual warfare from the book of Ephesians. One item that we added to the services was a celebration update about our Summer Sizzlers outreach where 74 kids made decisions to follow Jesus! Paula, our Children’s Ministry Director shared the news and the process. Yeah God! I love it when in worship we celebrate not just in music but even information about what God is doing. Go here to check our out videos of sermons and music. (more…)
