Just a few pics… I had the incredible privilege to lead worship with some friends at CDYC 2010 this past week. A room full of junior high kids = the craziest energy I’ve ever seen. Seriously. The last night of the camp was out of control… we’re talking these kids as loud as 110+ db WITHOUT the sound system… haha… so fun!
I also got to lead with my friend Tony, so awesome to be able to lead these kids along side him….
It was an awesome week, the band just killed it, Adam (main CDYC conference dude) just leads an incredible team… it was so awesome to get to jump in for a bit in what God is doing among them!!!
Hey Oakbrook Church peeps. I am leading this new song this weekend. I am so excited to sing this song with you guys. It’s called “No Reason to Hide” by Hillsong.
So check out this song, download it, burn it…this gives ya’ll a head start to sing as one big family on Sunday AM.
3 reasons I love this song
1. The first line in the Chorus is the WHOLE DEAL..the whole good news. “You’re alive and we are free…you are everything we need.” Simple but powerful words that include the heart of why the Church exists and why Jesus matters today.
2. The words in the verses are awesome for me. They challenge me to live out my faith throughout the week and throughout whatever situation I find myself in. “There is a city that waits for us, it’s time we took all the lampshades off.”
3. This song just stinkin rocks. Loud guitars, big drums…and come on, who doesn’t love a big “WHOAH, OHH” in a song. Instant anthem. Add water.
I’m looking forward to it guys and gals. Have a great rest of the week! See ya’ll at Church on Sunday, but remember to be the Church this week!



Some pics of the video shoot on Monday from @brandonlowry. You’re not gonna want to miss Sunday May 30th for the world premier of our first “movie” :)
From the Drive Conference at Northpoint… don’t really need to say anything about this one. :)
Last week of alive and running… People brought TONS of food for local food pantries. @oakbrookchurch rocks!!!
Nic tells us about Jonah. We used this last weekend… gotta love a Bible story from a 3 year old. :)
It takes a crew. Ever wonder what it takes to pull off something like a big production like Easter? It takes all these people: Lights / Video / Producer / Pro Presenter / Prompter / Sound dude #1 / Sound dude #2 / Stage Manager (not pictured since he’s on stage) / Stage Hand (you get the idea)
Crazy right?
Those of us on stage get the spotlight and all the “thank-you’s” and “way to go’s” but it wouldn’t happen without this tech booth full of awesome people.
These guys make it go… this crew makes it happen!!!
