It's Monday - what kind of weekend did you have? Mine was filled with a wide variety of life giving experiences.
On Friday night and Saturday morning our worship team gathered for our annual fall retreat. We have been doing this for a couple of years now every November and it is a fruitful time. On Friday night we share a meal together and then spend time watching DVD's of various worship settings and reflecting together upon what we see. This year's line-up included Tommy Walker and his team in Zambia, Hillsong and Delirious united with a worshipping congregation of about 20,000, Shane and Shane in an intimate coffee house kind of setting, and Jars of Clay live in concert. As well, we watched Rob Bell's Nooma, Rain, reflecting upon the times our Father has carried us through the storms of life.
On Saturday morning we worked on a bunch of new material. Be on the lookout for some of these songs in upcoming worship gatherings:
- Wholly Yours by David Crowder Band
- Communion by Third Day
- Salvation Is Here by Hillsongs
- I'm Not Ashamed by Tommy Walker
- Holy Is the Lord by Eoghan Heaslip
- Wrap Me in Your Arms by Michael Gungor
- For This Reason and All of Me by Lincoln Brewster
Sunday morning I made the long journey to the North Hills to spend the morning with Terry Mann and the Fountain Park community. It was a true joy worshipping with them and having the opportunity to sharing from God's Word with them. My message was entitled, Gong, and we looked together at Ephesians 3:14-21 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.
And last night to cap off the weekend off, I was at Heinz Field watching our Pittsburgh Steelers give the Cleveland Browns a pretty good beat down. Love it! Thanks Tom, it was a blast!

That sounds like a busy weekend Terry. Glad to hear things went well at Fountain Park, things at CCC were great. You and Marlaena seem to work really well together. Someone told me it was her birthday on Friday, surprised you did not share that with us on Friday or mention her this weekend. Her life is a gift to many of us - and hopefully you too!
Hey Terry, this concert rocked man. A worship retreat like yours sounds like it would be fun. We should do something like that at our place.
Have you been out to see the Crosby kid yet?
It's a joy having Marlaena on the team. She indeed is a gift to me and the community. I know the congregation is in good hands when she is opening up the Scriptures.
Mark your calender for next year - November 11
BTB - Number 87 is the man; he is masterful with the puck and can sure fill the net up. Haven't seen him yet live... where are the penquin tickets???
