Tonight, yet another reason occurred to me of why a worship leader's role is very difficult.
My thought is that you are assigned the task of connecting with God and with man. More on this soon...

TRL at LS
Thanks to everybody for making our "TRL" worship time this weekend a good experience. The songs you guys picked were excellent, and thematically fit the evening. Good work everyone.
On another note, I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a "slave to righteousness". Most Christians I have asked can not define or even feign a decent understanding of this concept, and I find myself having a hard time fleshing it out as well. It's easy to give a pat answer for theological line-in-the-sand drawing, but practically quite difficult. I'll keep you posted...

Photo Development
A quick observation...
This weekend we did a creative photo display with quality shots from around the community.
Printing 36 5x7 pictures at Wal-Mart, available in 2 days: $53
Printing 36 5x7 pictures at Costco, available in 2 hours: $15
Very interesting I think. Take note artists.

P.S. We went with Costco. Shocker.

Creative Elements June 1st, 2008
This weekend was very special for Living Stones.
The purpose of the night was to recast the vision and recommit to the NOW project -- the building project of Grace Church & Living Stones. To express this commitment in a tangible way, we placed the baptismal in the lobby to stand as the landing place of every one's commitment cards.
The inside...
First, we placed several stringed lights at the bottom of the baptismal. Then we proceeded to climb inside amongst all the hot and fragile glass bulbs to staple a linen cloth half way down the inside the baptismal walls. Kristine and her dancing fancy foot-work was at its best! The illumined cloth brought the floor of the baptismal up about 2 feet so that those who threw in their commitment cards could see them fall in amongst the rest. This was done in order to show how their commitment, along with commitments of the rest of the community, were an intricate part of bringing about an overall unified vision for the church.
The outside...
The hall lighting in the middle of the lobby area is dim, so in order to bring more light to the area we used candles on the baptismal steps and on both sides of the outer walls. Of course, the lighting on the inside helped, too, and we were able to illuminate the hallway.

This is phenomenal...Human excellence typically is a great illustration of a worship experience.
