Well, after a few hours of sleep, we're back at the conference ready to go.
Oh by the way, join us as we read through the Psalms by Sunday Morning. Sean is reading Psalms 1-50, Brian has Psalms 51-100, and I'm taking Psalms 101-150. Good stuff.
This session's singing was led by Pat Sczbel (www.crosswaycc.net) and his two sons. Very cool concept. Most of the songs we sung they wrote and they did a nice arrangement of It is Well by Robert Robinson. Another song we sung this morning and last night off of the Psalms CD I mentioned is "The Lord is". It is great. Get it ASAP.
Very good singing again. Christ and his cross seen clearly and therefore we were affected to respond as always. One little thing however that I got distracted by and would love to hear your thoughts on. When song leaders mutter individual prayer lines or different words or something like that while the group is singing, does that distract you? It's not that they're talking that distracts me. I like to be instructed on the next line we're singing or if he's telling us to repeat what we just sang or something like that, but if it's a "thank you Jesus" or soemthing like that it pulls me away from what we're doing together to listen to what the leader is saying. Thoughts?

I see how it could be distracting but once you get used to it I find it helpful to motivate me to deeper and better response to what I am singing about. It really is a SG thing and you'll probably hear all of the Worship leaders do it. Pat was a little "quieter" in his "between the lines" exhortations" so it was a little dfficult to follow. Bob Kauflin is better at using this tool and more accurately places "extra words" in to motivate the gathered church.
Sorry for the delayed response Alan. But I wanted to say thanks for reading, processing, and responding with your insights. Sorry about not connecting at the conference. I appreciated your comments. I hope the conference was as impacting for ya'll as much as it was for us.
