TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Philippianes 2:5-8

 

Kerry Livgren in Upcoming Movie
It's not often that a church has a rock legend worshipping among them, but now TBC has an screen actor among them. Read more...

U-Pick the Music Sunday @ TBC
For one week, I'm giving up my role and letting the worship arts family select the music! That's right. If you are in the worship arts family (singer, instrumentalist, tech), then YOUR SONG VOTE COUNTS. Vote online for your favorite songs to be featured on Sunday, June 1, 2008.
If you recieve this email through snail mail and would like to vote, simply call Bryan at 785-234-5545.

What a Weekend: Acoustic Sunday & Kids Musical
What a great weekend in the worship arts family at TBC.
A special thanks to the musicians (that means both instrumental and vocal by the way) for pulling off a great Sunday of worship with the rehearsal in the cramp worship arts office last Thursday. And the kids choir - what a blast. The parents were great to work with. Frankly, I was dreading going into this musical because I didn't know what to expect - but the kids and parents both nailed it. What a great picture of what Jim spoke about on Sunday, it's the very beginning of many of these kids getting 'hooked into' Christ (abiding in Him). God smiled on us this past weekend. You can view the kids musical pictures at the TBC website.

Coming This Week: Survey & Feedback
There is a very important survey that will be emailed out this week to your inbox. After being at TBC for one year, I'd love to hear your thoughts once again and allow you a chance to ask any tough or easy questions you might have
. When you get this email, it's important to fill out the form online. If you get this 'Worship Matters' email via snail mail, the office will help me get the survey/keedback form to you the same way. Thanks in advance.

A Personal Note from Seitz Family
"A heartfelt thanks to all for the prayers, well wishes and the card as it was a blessing to receive on Sunday. The Seitz family will miss the wonderful, Godly people at TBC, but we are looking forward to what he has in store for us in Missouri. And, we aren't too far away that we'll be back to visit! You can bet that we'll be back at TBC whenever we come home."

Are You a BTS Person?
Do you care if you serve on stage or off? If not, read on. Are you a behind-the-scenes (BTS) person who doesn't care if you recieve rewards? If so, read on. The stage crew will be losing two dedicated volunteers who have served for years. Warren and Teagen Seitz will be moving out of state in the coming months. They will leave a gap. So we are looking for some BTS people to help out in their place. Stage setup/strikes occur at various times (after/before auditorium events). Some lifting is required (but not super heavy). And the team is great to work with. Email me if you want more information.

Yet ANOTHER Spelling Error
In last week's WM, I mispelled a word. Instead of "Why is the MVG not sining in May?" it should have obviously been "SINGING." A special thank you to the anal few who are catching these mistakes - you have a spiritual gift of discernment. For the rest of you who will be sinning in May with me, confession starts immediately.
