Feeling Like Your Playing Second Fiddle?
A conductor was asked what the most difficult position in the orchestra was to play. He responded, "Second fiddle. They do as much work at first, but generally go unoticed." Read more...

Country Music Come Back
Some of you are jumping for joy. Others are groaning. Yes, the country music will back a return to the TBC weekend worship on March 16. Ya'll come now - ya hear.

String Sunday
The weekend after Easter will be a unique worship service where eleven string players will lead in worship with the band. God has blessed TBC with a great string section - I'm looking forward to having them on this upcoming weekend.

Show Your Support for the Ottman's: Participate in MS Walk Participant/Sponser
Recently, Matt Ottman's (Christmas Light Show engineer) wife, Rachel, was diagnosed with MS. Imagine if one of us were in their shoes? In light of this, my family will be participating in a MS Walk to show our support and encouragement to Matt, Rachel, and their family. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from Walk MS 2008 to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. We are choosing to walk for those who sometimes can't. Click here to join our family and Rachel's team or donate to Rachel's team.

What's For Easter?
I've been asked, so what's happening special at Easter. My reply is - Easter is already special. OK, I know what you mean. Are we doing a cantata? Another light show? What? While we aren't doing a special event, Easter Sunday itself is a weekend that many people decide to attend church when they typically might not. As a result, we will be doing some unique music for Easter and pour a lot of attention to that morning. Easter will be a special worship service - just like every worship service at TBC!

Where Do I Park On Easter?
Last year over 2,000 people came to TBC's service of worship on Easter. Numbers continue to go up since then, so Easter is going to be packed. Special seating in other locations with video feed are being set up...so we can accomindate people. But a whole other issue is parking. If you go to the library, you'll notice that the library employees park in a lot furthest away from the patron parking lot! Insteresting. They value the patron's parking spot. We will to. This Easter I'd like all participant to select a parking spot far away from the primo spots that Easter patrons will be using. Yes, I know some of you have gear that you will use. It would be a pain to lug that from four blocks away. So come drop of your gear, then park in a parking spot where Jesus would park.

Next Mass Vocal Rehearsal
The next Mass Vocal Group rehearsal will be Thursday, March 20 from 6:45pm to 8:00pm in preparation to lead worship for Easter Sunday, March 23.
