I’ve been away this last week for my Easter break, so am just now catching up on my RSS, which of course you are a part of
Hope you get some serious encouragement, because you always write good thought-provoking content. I agree with Russ; the blogs of real-life friends certainly carry more weight for me. And of course, sometimes those bloggers whose stuff you just “click” with then become real-life friends too

While not exactly a textbook Sunday setlist post, we had a fire at church during the service, and it could have been way way worse than it was. God was in the house and his protection was very clear!
Fred, mate, you don’t even want to know what it’s like here. We cut back to three services because so many people are away, many of them for at least a month, if not two months. I am in England for the month of July, and only have one experienced worship leader to cover for me, and she can only do two weeks out of the four.
I have no piano players, no drummers and no sound guys. I have three people who have volunteered to run Media Shout, but who have never done it before, and have just recruited two more acoustic guitarists as my worship leader doesn’t play an instrument.
There are three other people who have said they will lead, but none of them have ever done it before – it’s quite a gig for an untested worship leader, several hundred people per service in 100 degree heat with humidity.
Still, God is in control, and the “crisis” is bringing some talented people out of the woodwork
I too could do with a cheaper version of Planning Centre Online as normally we have over 30 people involved in worship teams…
OK, so I finally got round to doing this. Hooray! We have our worship services on a Thursday and Friday (Friday is the holy day here in Egypt) and I’m normally so tired after four services in a row that I can’t muster the energy to blog about them. But this week it’s different, so sorry it’s taken so long Fred, but I am now a part of this discussion.

June 2nd, 2009 at 4:27 AMHi Fred. Media Shout, 1st lyric slide. Bottom left hand corner.
By the way, I read this blog through RSS and for this post, your feed people decided to add a little video advert for the Church of Scientology.
Maybe you want to check it out
By the way, I am not kidding!
