Hello All ~
I had a great weekend in Bend! If you ever go to Bend, stay at the Shilo Inn. It is right on the river, the rooms are really nice, and the food at the restaurant is great. They also serve Otis Spunkmeyer cookies (yes, I cheated and had one).
I went to Westside Church yesterday, which turned out to be a Foursquare church. It was a really big church. It was okay, but I have to say, worship at our small church is more inspiring, focused, and fun. True, I didn't know any of the songs they did, but the energy just wasn't there. I say it again, we are so very blessed to have the team we do.
I trust the outdoor service here went well... I prayed for Matthew & Russ. I trust you've all enjoyed these weeks off you've had recently (2 in August, and 1 this month), but it's back to work now. We are introducing a new song this week, so I'll try to post a link for it here on the blog.

Please pray for Kevin (he celebrated a milestone birthday today)
