Merry Christmas!

Like many others, Shanti and I are using the Internet to send out our Christmas greetings this year. (Why not, it's FREE!) Anyway, we invite you to click here for your viewing/downloading/printing pleasure.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit bless you richly in the coming new year.

Advent

We were blessed this last Sunday to have a few of our church members share their artistic talents as we entered the Advent season. My friend (and fellow band member) Tim read a poem he had written, and another friend, Matt, provided a series of realtime drawings that were inspired by Tim's poem. We had a videocamera capture Matt sketching out the drawings as the poem progressed, and I provided music inspired by both the poem and the drawings.

I want to post more about how this all worked and how it impacted our corporate worship, but in the meantime, you can read the poem and see the drawings here.
