Local Worship Conference/Concert

Worship Northwest is happening again this year; a great local conference opportunity, including a concert with Big Daddy Weave (who brought us songs like Audience of One, Christ is Come and others). Click here to get to the Worship Northwest website. Here's an excerpt about the conference:

Worship Northwest is [organized by] a multi-denominational group of Oregon worship pastors who have a heart and a passion for encouraging worship leaders and worship teams throughout the Northwest. Now in its tenth year, this conference has been attended by hundreds of worship teams from five western states, representing a wide variety of worship traditions. More than 1200 people from 233 church throughout the Northwest joined together at the 2005 conference...

I've heard from at least one person on our team who'd like to go. I'd personally love to go, but would be even more excited to see some of us get the chance to go as a team. Please let me know in the next few days if you're interested.

Christmas Eve at NWH

Hey - just want to say thanks to all who were involved in the Christmas Eve service, and to those who came to join in the worship as well. Dave Faddis, Luke Buchanan, Doug Easton, Maddie Berry, Jason and Emily DeMoe, John Dougherty and Elissa Smith did an outstanding job of creating a seamless service, allowing the Gospel to be delivered clearly. It really took an incredible amount of work for some of you, and I (and the church) really appreciate it. Since I'm mentioning it, I should remember those who've served in the past as well, in case I never extended the thanks for your huge efforts: Gretchen VanderPlas, Dave Snider, Mike Hiller, Tim Karplus, Stephen Wagner, Doug and Jane Easton, Andy and Sheri Phillips, Jim Clark, John Stanley, Linda Fox, ...and I probably have missed someone... thanks for making our Christmas Eves an awesome time of worship at NWH.
