Church October 10, 2010

During first service yesterday something very powerful happened to me. Every week at KP is exciting and I always have a great time playing, singing, and being with friends. However, yesterday, while we were singing (I think it was during communion), I was watching everyone and it hit me with greater force than usual that I was in a room full of folks I know, whose lives have touched mine.
I saw kids that I've held and played with, families I've shared meals with, people I've laughed with. In short friends... family.
There were plenty of folks I still have not gotten to know very well too, and I look forward to getting to know them.
I guess friendship is just around the corner, but you just have to turn the corner; you have to go there. At KP, I know with certainty, that if you're looking for friendship, family, a deep connection, you'll find it. If you're not looking, it's likely to stumble into you, but it's much harder than if you are on the hunt.
If striking up conversation and making new friends doesn't come naturally to you; if interacting with strangers at church takes an effort tantamount to pulling out your own tooth, then just stand in the way of some interactions, loom nearer to a cluster of folks you barely know, and before you know it you'll be immersed in a pool of relationships and love. It's a bit mushy I know, and it's easy for an outgoing person to say it, but I do dare you to get out there and give it your best shot. The results will change your life.

Here's this week's set:
You'll Come - Hillsong
All Because - Fee
None but Jesus - Hillsong United
It is Well - a bit like Newsboys, but it's our own arrangement
One Pure and Holy Passion - Passion
Not To Us - Chris Tomlin

Have a great week.

Hope you have a blessed and worshipful week,

This weekend's Music, Part 1

This weekend we hosted the Heartland Presbytery's meeting at Kaw Prairie on Saturday morning and afternoon.

One of the KP bands had the privilege of leading them in worship during the morning session. It was a great time of worship with our Presbyterian brethren.

Here's the music we did:

Majestic - Lincoln Brewster
Hungry - Kathryn Scott
Mystery - Charlie Hall
How He Loves - David Crowder Band
Let God Arise - Chris Tomlin

The names by each of the songs are not necessarily those of their authors, but those of the performers from whom we got our inspiration for this particular arrangement.

Thank you Heartland Presbytery for worshiping with us. It was a great honor.

Sunday September 12, 2010

Crazy about Wild!

Wild is the name of our student program at Kaw Prairie. This past Sunday was the first night of Wild in this new year and it was incredible!

We meet on Sunday nights from 6 to 8pm and we do some music, games, teaching and small groups, all peppered with hysterical stuff happening all around you at all times.

This past Sunday was no exception. As a matter of fact, it was perhaps one of the most exciting nights of Wild I've ever been to. We've started meeting in the Gathering place, a smaller room on the other side of the building from the gym, and we've altered the schedule a bit. It all comes together for a night of fun, learning, friendship, and Spirit-filled experiences.

I want to take a minute to thank all the adults who volunteer in Wild, caring for students and taking the time to get to know them. I also want to thank the band members who do such a great job leading us in worship. Lastly, I want to thank all the students who attend for their enthusiasm, participation, and their friendship.

I'm looking forward to this next year of Wild and can't wait to witness how lives are changed with Jesus' love.
