Worship with the "Jonas" brothers among other things!

I've had fun this week hearing comments and answering questions regarding last week's services.  My favorite comments were from  those who thought that the young guys on our Mid Rivers worship team looked like the Jonas brothers!   Nothing better than worshiping with the Jonas'!!  While they aren't those brothers, they are certaintly gifted young men and how great to have them help lead us in worship at Mid Rivers.

The big question of the week was where the video was shot that we used to tell the story of Joseph's encounter with his brothers in the desert. It actually looked like a desert leaving people to ask where we would shoot that in Missouri. Some people thought I had done that a while back in Israel. Others thought maybe I had brought that with me from Canada! I love to keep people guessing. In fact, a couple months ago Beau and I went to Nevada to learn more about the multi site church from Central Christian and we took a camera with us.  We took advantage of the desert location and shot that. We shot another video as well that you will see in a couple months!

Last night several of us went to hear Hillsong United at the Fox theatre. What a powerful time of passionate worship.  There were over 4500 people there who completely abondoned themselves in worship. What a picture of the church and of what Heaven will be.

This weekend, we are singing a new song  called "Gorious One".   I've attached a copy here so you might be ready to sing it.  The song speaks about the glory of Christ. That is a whole topic we will look at later this summer as we talk how amazing it is that God shares His glory with us. He has crowned us with glory, although Paul reminds us that people exchange that glory for a lie!  Christ came to restore us to the glory God intended.

I pray that you come ready Sunday to worship our Glorious God with Passion!!!

Ha! Terry, did you hear me whisper that comment to Chris M. on Sunday morning?! They did great, with Catherine representing us girls with her mean bass playing.

I'm loving this series and can't wait to learn more from Joseph...he's my hero!

Andrew, Aaron and Caleb are all awesome musicians and it's been fun playing with them! Beau is doing a great job leading our new group. My prayer is that we bond as a team and that we're unified in our desire to lead others into God's awesome and Holy presence.
