New Series...New Song

Good Monday afternoon! This week is already turning out to be very promising. Depending on how you look at it, last week either ended great with the weekend services, or this week started great. Since I've been gone for the past three weeks and was longing to worship with my family at Faith, I'm going to go with it was a GREAT start to this very promising week. Every time I've been on the mission field I have been blessed beyond words. Our recent time in the Philippines was absolutely no exception. However, I am more thankful than ever for our family here in Alaska. 

Speaking of last weekend's services, we started a new series simply called "Read The Red". Pastors Steve, Mike and others will be taking us through the "Red letter" teachings of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. I personally can't wait to dive a bit deeper! To help us in this journey I have written a new song called "Your Words". We did a really simple acoustic version over the weekend. The bonus for me was doing it with my amazing wife Lisa! Here's the video...



Along with this video, I've added an audio version in the sidebar of this blog. Feel free to download & use any of those songs. I look forward to journeying with each you as we "Read the Red" together.

Blessings!

Good Things Come in 3's

You've heard it said that good things come in 3's. Well today is no exception. I am so excited about what God is doing in & around His bride here at Faith Christian Community. Today I want to share with you three things within the Worship Arts Department that you'll want to make note of. No pun intended. Ok...maybe a little bit.

First:

This weekend we will be having a reception following all three services for those of you interested in joining the platform ministry of the Worship Arts Team. Every six months we hold open evaluations for anyone feeling the calling to serve in this way. If that's you, please come to room 201 (the student room) immediately following all three services this Saturday & Sunday. This will be purely informational, with no obligation attached. Come, hang out, eat something, learn something & go from there.

Secondly:

Three times a year we host an extended time of worship, simply called, Night of Worship. LIVE@FAITH will present this next event on Saturday, July 16th from 6-7:30. We will be wrapping up our Psalms series by singing through the same Psalms that Jesus would have used in the worship of His heavenly Father. Mark your calendars for what has proved to be an amazing night of unity in praise & worship.

With much anticipation. I give you #3:

For more than a decade I have waited on the Lord as He planted a seed deep within me to raise up strong worship leaders. I knew & believed in my heart that this would one day come to fruition in the form of a training venue for those called into this area of service, and even those within the body of Christ that simply want to learn more about worship and what it means to be a 24/7 worshipper. Friends, I'm so excited to tell you that the time is NOW & the place is HERE. Starting Sept. 6th, The Community School of Worship will begin Phase 1. We will begin with four core classes (2 theology & 2 music theory) over a two semester period. These will be held on Tuesday & Thursday evenings here on the campus of Faith. Being Phase 1, we've decided to waive all tuition fees. The only costs associated will be a $100 book fee per semester. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please click here for an informational flyer, and here for an application.

These are certainly exciting times! I look forward to you joining us as we seek to serve the King of Kings...JESUS CHRIST!
