We did a stripped down worship set at Grace this past Sunday. So many times we get so caught up with the lights and sounds. We get caught up in the production and the design. Sometimes it seems like we even program His Spirit out of the service with a mistaken belief that we can [...]
Recap: True North (11/8/09) w/ Spring of Life Video
Well, it was another very powerful morning this past week as we focused on Elijah and Elisha. The idea was following.

What I’m Reading: Exploring Worship
Over the summer a group of guys from the True North youth group met up and began journeying through this book called Exploring Worship.
