Worship Matters – 1.21.09
So here I sit, in my office, almost 2 weeks into my new job at MPCC and I am probably looking to the future with an anticipation and optimism that I have not felt for many years. I feel a great deal of excitement about the future and really believe that God is preparing us … Continue reading
MPCC – New Worship Matters – 1.10-11.09
This past weekend we began our ministry at Mt. Pleasant Christian Church (From here on, I will always refer to the church as MPCC). It was an awesome weekend. We count it a real honor that God has called us to serve this great church and we are excited to see what HE has in … Continue reading

We had a great weekend. Kim and I were on the road this past weekend, leading a worship retreat at Shepherd Nazarene in Columbus, OH. We really enjoy leading these retreats.

We had a great day yesterday. We welcomed our new senior pastor to the church and did some really special things in worship. I was so grateful for the way that our team handled the day. They did an awesome job from start to finish. We had tons of energy in the house and there … Continue reading

Yesterday our morning services were all about surrendering. In our culture today, that is not a very popular subject. We want it all and the idea of giving up parts of our lives is certainly not comfortable for us. Believe me, I speak from experience. God calls us to come to a place of surrender…..where … Continue reading

It took a few times for our congregation to catch it….especially the bridge section, which has a lot of words. But I will say that at this point this song has … Continue reading

I took a couple of days off last week as Kim and I made a trip to St. Louis to watch the Cardinals play. I was saddened that they lost 11-1 to the Mets but being at the ballpark was a great and relaxing time for us. Yesterday was another great day in worship at … Continue reading

We had a fabulous day in worship yesterday! In 16 years of public ministry I have not been more proud of my team than I was after yesterday’s worship services. Our church is in the midst of tons of transition and yet, they step up week after week and knock it out of the park! … Continue reading
