Thoughts on a Sunday morning

Morning!

March 22

We continued our series 'Soul Food' with a message about prayer. If you missed it click here. Again, a great message, really focusing on the discipline of prayer. Yes, we are called to be in constant and continual prayer but, over and over in His ministry, Jesus took time to be alone in focused prayer and meditation with God. Beyond the prayers of 'Lord, let there be only green lights on my way to work' or 'Thank you for Tim Horton's coffee' we need to set aside time to be with God; to pray to Him but more importantly to hear from Him. It was a great message.

Jason lead worship this weekend and I had the chance to play keys for the team. It's a different worship vibe on that team, not as 'bouncy' but very heartfelt. I think that this team is really trying to stretch themselves and I see great things in their future.

High
Watching Jason stretch himself as a leader. He's starting to engage the congregation and you can see the impact. Keep it up!

Low
It's not really a low, just kind of funny. We ran 'Better is one day' right into 'All creatures..' and at one point Jason began to sing the 'All creatures...' lyrics to the 'Better....' melody. I love that look that musicians get when, in the middle of a song, they have no idea what is happening!

Bonus
Luke Pelz was our drummer for this weekend. What an awesome story this guy has. With all he's been through he could very well be an angry, depressed guy, but instead he shows us all what it means to have the joy of the Lord as his strength. He was a blast to play with and I would love to have him around for a long time. Unfortunately, it looks like that was the one and only time Luke will play with us, as he's probably moving to Alberta at the end of the month. What a drag for us, but we all wish him nothing but God's blessings in his life.
