As promised, I've got only a slight bit of info to retell after Saturday night's service. I had a rather unique experience that night ... I got to sit on the front row. Amazing amount of leg room up there. That, I can get real used to. But it made for a very different praise & worship. Typically, I'll key in on the band, try and learn something new from Michael on guitar or just revel in the moment with any number of the more expressive band or choir members. This time around, it was hard not to just spend the whole time focusing on Cindy, Israel, Stephen & Da'Dra. It was a fun experience.

Upstairs at Koinonia, we had another unique experience. We've been altering the format a little, kicking off with a bit of praise and worship upstairs. In the two weeks we've been doing this, we've had to call an audible or two due to the occassional surprise, glitch, or unlocated musician for that night. Nathan Walker got the ball rolling with a nice three song lead-in to the Nooma video, Rain. Typically, we don't have any music on stage till after our group discussions. This time around, it was great to see so many people getting into Nathan's music right from the get-go. Also great to see that we're raising the bar for the Koinonia experience. Kudos to Todd for his vision on that front. Next week, we'll have something totally different in store for folks. And as a reminder - Heath Rosborough hits Koinonia on May 5.

Anyways, there's a video clip up from the Sunday version of the Saturday service. Soak it up ... the whole thing was great.
