Justify Steps Praise Dance Team to be at OTG 08

I just got off the phone with Shelly Knox of Redeem Christian Center in Monroe. The praise dance team from their church. Justify Steps, will be joining us on Friday night. I am looking forward to their leading us in saying yes to God and to what he is calling us to in our community. Our participation with God in his mission of reconciliation and redemption can take many forms. One is to inspire our imagination through the arts in worship.

With Kindness

There is a great song I have been singing since I heard it in January at "Everything Must Change" conference in Charlotte. I have asked the Music team to learn it and lead us in singing it at OTG 08. Here is a video that was recently posted of the song, "With Kindness". I mentioned the song in an article I wrote on one of the foundtional pricnicples of Common Heart on my blog. After you listen and watch you may want to pop on over to "Invisibility" at NotesAlongTheWay.blogspot.com and read about it.

Music at OTG

I spoke with two of my friends last night and I am excited as Harry Walden and Chris Price put together a band for Outside the Gate. The band this year will be made up of musicians, singers and worship leaders from a variety of local churches. Since we are meeting in the fellowship hall at Monroe Christian Worship Center this year, we will have a more intimate worship experience. I like that.

So as this all pulls together, pray for these guys & gals who will be leading us in worship as we gather on Oct 3 & 4.
