"<i>Great things He hath done</i>" 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. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SjbPQpg_-9I/AAAAAAAAC4I/JGim1JgQS9M/s1600-h/DSC_0028.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SjbPQpg_-9I/AAAAAAAAC4I/JGim1JgQS9M/s400/DSC_0028.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347689492478163922" /></a><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SjbPQYfJkXI/AAAAAAAAC4A/duHjdrq4Ihc/s1600-h/DSC_0030.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px; " src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SjbPQYfJkXI/AAAAAAAAC4A/duHjdrq4Ihc/s400/DSC_0030.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347689487907000690" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">God shows His glory in CHRIST, the CHURCH and CREATION.</div><div style="text-align: center;">How can you experience His glory this week every day?</div><div style="text-align: center;">By WORSHIPING in spirit and in truth, by daily being in His WORD and by doing good WORKS which glorify the Father in heaven.</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Can I get a head nod?" or an AMEN?</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33165791.post-41658901448785225052009-06-11T19:21:00.000-07:002009-06-11T19:32:10.774-07:00Youth Summer Music Camp 09<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>This week has been amazing and humbling.

We pray earnestly that the Lord will take our offerings and multiply them beyond measure. We pray that the Spirit of the Lord will descend upon our campus in a new, fresh way this Christmas. Join us as we make our requests known to God. Here's a guide to help you focus your prayers:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#009900;"><br

/>-Everyone God calls to the ministry of creating an honoring event/performance will respond to the call, regardless of the task<br />-Each and every participant, support person, technician and performer will keep the Guest of Honor in the forefront of our minds and prepare for the event/performance accordingly<br /><br /></span></strong><strong><span

It was definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas. No Deck the Halls or I'll Be Home for Christmas. None of that would compare to the MacIntyre's duet of "The Prayer". It was so moving. So we sang sacred carols and had a great time working up our harmonies together.<br />Donna Otto was challenging and uplifting. So many wonderful ideas for the family to make new traditions with, or the encouragement to keep on with the traditions of years past. The theme was an Uncommon Feast and it was out of the ordinary to hear about the Israelites in the Old Testament when they were suffering through Pharoah's persecution, trying to escape and the uncommon ways that the Lord provided for them.<br />What are some uncommon or counter-culture ways you celebrate His birth? Do others know whom you celebrate by your holiday decor? Do you reach out to neighbors? Sometimes it's just easier for me to have a plan for the holidays, how to decorate, what to bake, whom to invite over, what stories to read as a family, and I don't bother to ASK my family! And I come to find out, they have their own sweet traditions we've done in the past that they'd like to do!<br />So that is how I will start this season. We'll have a family meeting and make a plan that includes everyone's favorite things. I hope you have purpose this season, to make it count for His kingdom.

But it was kind of late for me too. You may have seen this advertised in the church Compass already. I have been involved with Donna Otto and her Homemakers by Choice ministry for 14 years. And the last 10 or so, have been involved with her in our annual Home for Christmas event, doing music of course. But this year will be a little different in that, the MacIntyres are singing with us. Actually, I was just going to lead carols and they were doing all the music. Now Scott and Carole can't be there, but Todd and Katelyn will still sing and Alex and I will do some fun things with them. I'm looking forward to it. The whole day will be lovely. With shopping for Christmas, door prizes and the amazing, challenging, inspiring teaching of Donna Otto. You can go to the website at <a href="http://www.homemakersbychoice.org/HFC.html">Homemakers by Choice</a> to register for the event this Saturday at the Westin Kierland, from 9-2pm.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33165791.post-75470908245814824102008-11-06T19:26:00.000-08:002008-11-06T19:59:20.944-08:00Ezekiel Saw The Wheel?<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;"><strong>Well our two-wheel enthusiasts have completed the 2008 SBC Tour de New River and we have the pics to prove it.</strong></span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO8QNNQqPI/AAAAAAAAADk/Ot8xhEVsmeQ/s1600-h/Nov+2008+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265759375935449330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO8QNNQqPI/AAAAAAAAADk/Ot8xhEVsmeQ/s320/Nov+2008+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO8P3cGpdI/AAAAAAAAADc/jwVvonwa42I/s1600-h/Nov+2008+++007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265759370092127698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO8P3cGpdI/AAAAAAAAADc/jwVvonwa42I/s320/Nov+2008+++007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7o086YhI/AAAAAAAAADU/qIt-cxEQMT4/s1600-h/nov+1+2008+030.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265758699409531410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7o086YhI/AAAAAAAAADU/qIt-cxEQMT4/s320/nov+1+2008+030.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7ouh0WAI/AAAAAAAAADM/tJC1WmFZYbU/s1600-h/Nov+2008+023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265758697685276674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7ouh0WAI/AAAAAAAAADM/tJC1WmFZYbU/s320/Nov+2008+023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7oUKmXLI/AAAAAAAAADE/N3djLEFSWvA/s1600-h/Nov+2008+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265758690608569522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7oUKmXLI/AAAAAAAAADE/N3djLEFSWvA/s320/Nov+2008+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7oO1G_HI/AAAAAAAAAC8/aQsQEJrrn6M/s1600-h/Nov+2008+017.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265758689176255602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r75K9cmHXno/SRO7oO1G_HI/AAAAAAAAAC8/aQsQEJrrn6M/s320/Nov+2008+017.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div>Kim Hannayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04172007847175400648noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33165791.post-77794012163691895552008-10-19T16:42:00.001-07:002008-10-19T18:57:45.093-07:00The Heart of a Child<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">What a privilege to worship together, and with our kids. The 3-6 grade choirs joined the Sounds of Praise Gospel Choir this morning in leading worship. It's a great opportunity to teach our children the responsibilities and privilege that comes with leading worship. "for from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks". What is in our hearts as we sing these songs? When we're singing "Lord, my heart and my soul, I give You control", do we mean it? Does it show in our lives, in our faces as we sing? Or are these just words that sound pretty to music? That's the responsibility of leading worship. That there is truth behind our lyrics. The Truth of His Word and the truth of our own hearts being vulnerable and open to worship the Author of Salvation, the One Who is Mighty to Save!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG79najrI/AAAAAAAACOo/gzjGfxi2DHM/s1600-h/DSC_0027.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG79najrI/AAAAAAAACOo/gzjGfxi2DHM/s400/DSC_0027.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259015723339648690" border="0" /></a><br />Bonnie Heng, Alex Tuten and Kathie Fox<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG80VLZfI/AAAAAAAACOw/0Jk8lB0NQEY/s1600-h/DSC_0017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG80VLZfI/AAAAAAAACOw/0Jk8lB0NQEY/s400/DSC_0017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259015738027107826" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG9edTTQI/AAAAAAAACO4/ZDKXrkzRIfo/s1600-h/DSC_0020.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG9edTTQI/AAAAAAAACO4/ZDKXrkzRIfo/s400/DSC_0020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259015749335469314" border="0" /></a>Lizzy Tuten smiling, Jack Everroad and I see Braden Reimche!!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG96JjOVI/AAAAAAAACPA/06oQpT1hbV0/s1600-h/DSC_0023.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG96JjOVI/AAAAAAAACPA/06oQpT1hbV0/s400/DSC_0023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259015756768819538" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG-CFjZxI/AAAAAAAACPI/vaet7KsjWgk/s1600-h/DSC_0016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPvG-CFjZxI/AAAAAAAACPI/vaet7KsjWgk/s400/DSC_0016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259015758899537682" border="0" /></a>Emma Tuten, see Calem Reimche with the cute smile?<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33165791.post-80523787916337624272008-10-12T12:45:00.000-07:002008-10-12T12:50:06.100-07:00New Choir Member...New Grandpa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPJUHQ6Zg9I/AAAAAAAACNA/EPC_zrq4P4g/s1600-h/CindyandDaveZehring.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLlZL69SHTY/SPJUHQ6Zg9I/AAAAAAAACNA/EPC_zrq4P4g/s400/CindyandDaveZehring.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256356198870516690" border="0" /></a>Meet Dave Zehring! He has joined the choir this year and he just became a grandfather for the first time. Nathan Zehring was born to his son Joel on October 10 at 8lbs.5oz. Proud grandma Cindy is next to him.<br />I have known the Zehrings for many years from our former church the First Baptist Church of Scottsdale where he was associate pastor for many years. He is now teaching here at SBC. But more details will soon follow. We will be putting all new members' bios up very soon. As soon as YOU get them to us!<br />Congrats Dave and Cindy!!<br />(Did anyone notice how big his smile was this morning in choir?)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33165791.post-29744783675669119902008-10-07T15:17:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:18:27.654-07:00Update on Kevin Anvik<strong><span style="color:#ffff99;">Here's an email from Kevin on the recent situation with his dad:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ffff99;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ffff99;">I want to thank everyone that has already been praying for me, for my family and for my dad. Your prayers have been felt and are so, so appreciated. For those of you that don't know, my dad has been placed in hospice care. He is currently at home but we aren't sure for how long. I am traveling out to Georgia tomorrow to say goodbye. I would definitely appreciate prayer for a few things.<br /><br />This will be an incredibly difficult time for my sister Nelda and my mom. My parents are living with my sister. At the same time this is an answer to prayer. My brothers and I have been talking and praying about how we can support our sister better as the doctor visits have outnumbered the days spent at home the past several months. It had been getting really hard on my sister and my mom. He now has care for at least 12 hours a day and as he gets worse he will probably go back to the hospice care facility. I would love to have you pray for my sister and mom as they will be the ones there when my dad's earthly tent finally gives up.<br /><br />I would appreciate prayer for my kids and especially for my little Zach. Grandpa and him were buddies. I think it will hit my kids more when it finally happens but I know they think about it from time to time now. This is the first significant relationship that they have had to deal with this kind of loss. <br /><br />Be in prayer for my wife Dawn as she has a ton on her plate right now. She has a sister that is very sick, a really good friend that has been very sick and in and out of the hospital the past several weeks, and her own health issues that have seemed to just go on and on over the past 6 months or so. <br /><br />For those of you that have known some of the other things that God has been bringing us through over the past few years, you know that we know that God is good and will make everything work together. It has been an amazing journey that God has taken us on and I am sure God has used all of this to mold us a little closer to His likeness. I have no doubt that this will be the same. Thank you so much for those of you that have traveled this journey with us. We love you.<br /><br />Finally for me I would covet your prayers for this next week. I have never had to do this before. I know there will be a lot of laughs and a lot of tears over the next week but I especially pray for clear direction in my discussions with my dad. My dad believes in God, he knows the Gospel, he knows why Christ came, died and was raised but I really do not know if he KNOWS God and is a Christ follower. He believes he is and that is what makes it hard. I would love to know that for sure when I come home next week. I would also love prayer next Wednesday at about noon Arizona time as that is when I will be saying my final goodbye to him in this world. I can only hope and pray that his name is or will be written in the book of life so I can one day say hello to him again someday. <br /><br />I sent this to some of you a week or so ago but I thought I would send it along to the rest of you.<br /> <br />My dad lived an amazing life in his 98 years on this earth. He touched a lot of people, impressed his strong work ethic into us, and made friends with everyone he met. He lived through 2 World wars, the great depression, voted for countless presidents (as my brother reminded me this past weekend, he is one of the few alive today that voted for FDR 4 times!) and congressmen, and lived a life of high integrity that we are all very proud of. Most importantly he was a great father, grandfather and husband. My parents celebrated their 70th anniversary this past year. It is a life I can only hope to duplicate in some way, shape, or form.<br /><br />It always seemed like it would be easier to say goodbye to a man that we knew for so many years and that lived such a full life, but I can tell you that it isn't any easier. I can't imagine how hard it will be for my oldest brother and my mom who have spent 70 years on this earth with him, but I can tell you that it is never too late to tell your kids and your parents how much you love them and you can't say it too often.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for your prayers and kind thoughts. Feel free to forward this to anyone that you know, knows us and cares for us. <br /> </span></strong>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11234604803584702123noreply@blogger.com0
