What an awesome day

Worship this morning was awesome! Thanks team for your flexibility and giving yourselves to lead in worship. You guys are such a pleasure to serve with. It was great to have the choir back in action today. It’s been too long. Thanks for your patience this summer and welcome back. Let’s pray this week!

Rehearsal on New Night this week!

In case you haven’t gotten the word our rehearsals for this week will be on Monday at 6:15 & 7:00 pm. I will be have test done all day on Tuesday at Johns Hopkins. I appreciate your flexibility each week. I am praying Colossians 1:9-14 for you.

Prayer Series begins

This Sunday we will begin a series on Prayer for the Mission. We will have a smaller band and some weeks smaller vocal teams. through this series we are going to focus on more intimate worship with an more lighter acoustical feel. This is NOT a permanent thing only for the series. If you have a question about being on the team for a specific week check the Planning Center or feel free to call me.

This week you will also notice the stage set up changed around for this series. Thanks for your flexibility.

Sunday was awesome! It was so great to be leading with you again. I am praying that God will allow me more opportunities to serve with you guys in the coming months during all my treatments. Thanks so much for all your encouragement.

Great Job!

Hey Team, just wanted you to know you were a blessing last Sunday. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and willingness to go beyond your comfort zone. Thanks for your leadership, Brent. I’m praying for you all.

Worship Team Meeting

Thanks for coming out to the meeting on Tue evening. It went longer than I had planned. I still have trouble getting things organized in my head. I am looking forward to getting the fall going. I will be posting the latest Fall team schedule before I leave Saturday morning. It may not be complete, but will be a start.

Soloists you have the biggest change in schedule in that we will be scheduling you according to your song. Pray about a song God would have you share in worship. The theme in Sept and early Oct will be prayer. Email me your song title and lyrics if possible. We will pray over the songs and then try to schedule as God leads. Have your song prepared as soon as possible you may only have a week or two notice before you sing.

I hope to have a portion of the audio from Tuesdays meeting posted soon. Thank you guys for your ministry. Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions. I’m not sure my phone will be working in Florida but I’ll try to check my voice mail.

Continue to pray for Donna.

Worship Team Update

There will be a Worship Team Update meeting next Tue, August 7th at 6:45 pm on stage at Severn Run. All worship team members are encouraged to attend. I will be there to discuss what we know about the future and plans for this fall. Please come prepared to let me know of any dates you know you will be out through the rest of 2007. I am  looking forward to seeing you then.

I don’t recommend my diet

Good news! I have gained 5 pounds since last Thursday. Burger King burgers and shakes sure are good! At this rate I’ll be going on a diet by labor day. Actually I’ll need every pound since the radiation will cook it off of me. Praise God! Thank you God for that promise in Isaiah 58.

Will not know the results of the CT scan for a day or two. Praying that everything is clear. Met with the Medical Oncologist, it was short. It seems that since I am doing the clinical trial most everything is set. Five days a week for five to six weeks of radiation and chemo together. Take a month off to heal and four months of chemo. That is once a week for three of the four weeks for four months. Doesn’t sound like fun to me, but I am so blessed to be a part of this cutting edge technology. Continue to pray! I am trusting God everyday.

Trying to gain

I don’t know very many people who walk around saying, “I wish I could gain a few pounds.” In fact when some of you found out I was trying to gain a few pounds you quickly offered to help by sharing some of yours. Others have been preparing great meals and bringing them by the house. I’ve been pigging out at BK when I can; followed, of course, with a good dose of insulin. No great weight gain yet, but I’m believing it will come soon. My sister sent me this verse she is claiming for me.

“And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones.”   – Isaiah 58:11a

I’m claiming it too! Isn’t it cool that God knows exactly what we need.
