May 15th Concert--An Evening of Artists

Here's a shot of our art show in the back of the worship center. We had around 100 art pieces from over 30 SBC artists contributing to the show. What a huge blessing! Oh yeah--people also raved about the musical portion of the program and don't forget the ice cream social!

You like organ music? Check This Out!!!

Click on the link below to see an amazing pipe organ version of "The Flight of the Bumblebee." It's so inspiring to me. I used to beg my mom to play the "bumblebee" for me on the piano when I was a kid. This organ version takes it to a whole new level with the footwork.

To God be the Glory!

I know how the song goes. "To God be the Glory, great things He hath done, so loved He the world that He gave us His Son..." but can I say that God certainly gets the glory in the life of Bruce Pearson! "Great things He hath done" in bringing Bruce to us for these last few years. There were many tears and a speechless Bruce and Dee as the orchestra read a letter to him Sunday, from them, expressing their gratitude for his time with them. The phrase that stuck out to me was how he had helped them to become a community that cares for one another. That's one of the ways God is glorified. In His CHURCH. He shows us His glory so that we will know Him better. And the way Bruce led our orchestra in these few years, helped us to draw near to Christ and experience His glory. Bruce and Dee, our prayers go with you in this next chapter of your life. But we hope our chapter with you is not finished.

God shows His glory in CHRIST, the CHURCH and CREATION.

How can you experience His glory this week every day?

By WORSHIPING in spirit and in truth, by daily being in His WORD and by doing good WORKS which glorify the Father in heaven.

"Can I get a head nod?" or an AMEN?

Youth Summer Music Camp 09

This week has been amazing and humbling. To see God at work in the lives and giftings of 53 great young people. To work with Sean, Joe, Tammy and Elsie is nothing short of an honor. I know they'll agree with me when they say we put a lot into this week, including prayer. But God had an even greater investment than ours and it's our prayer that the outcome will bring Him all the glory and honor!

Please consider supporting our youth by coming tomorrow night to the Student Center at 7pm as they lead worship. It would certainly lift them up to know you are investing in our future worship leaders.
