Can your church musician do this?
Category: religion


Ours can.

So this has nothing to do with your post. But I thought you might want to know that the sing in front of your church is getting a little bit of interest because of Roby from the Goo Goo Dolls. I don't know if it will get anyone to check out the website or the church but it might. If you follow the website address you can also see what I said about the picture.

Maybe. You'll have to show up to find out.

But I have been practicing walking like an Egyptian, just in case.

Four part harmony? Did you get the Bangles as well?
drew - 04/01/08 14:19
A promise of eternal life, meaning in this one, a limited working schedule, and the thrill of working with the best Pastor in Buffalo :)

Also, even though she won't be singing "Baby I love you" in church this Sunday, she will be singing Allsion Kraus (spelling?) in four part harmony with some other really good singers!

How did you guys wrestle her away from her seven digit recording contract?
jason - 04/01/08 11:47
Wow, really cool!

To lazy for a real post.
So i will cross-post from Elmwoodjesus.org. This is what I put there (which was also a lazy post, I know):


For the record, I have started to put most of my sermons there. It's not because I don't like you all, but just because that's where people tend to go look for sermons. So if you want theological content, go to elmwoodjesus.org/news


Oops. Can't copy and paste the links. So if you want to see the post, you have to go here.

I promise to be a better (e:strip)per soon.

This is also on the other site. Shane Clairborne talking about "Jesus for President":



Ok. Time to go home. My wonderful wife is making a good dinner tonight.
janelle - 03/31/08 17:39
nope. That was Patty. Can't take credit.
carolinian - 03/31/08 16:33
Did you think up "Jesus rose from the dead. So can Buffalo"? We saw your sign the other day.

Tonight
There is good polish stuff @ the Albright-Knox. That is where (e:janelle) and I will be, until we go salsa dancing.
paul - 03/31/08 00:06
Where do you Salsa dance at?
museumchick - 03/30/08 21:01
That sounds awesome! Did you take any pictures?
dcoffee - 03/29/08 00:29
That sounds so fun. I was thinking about doing some kind of dancing lesson with (e:mmtornow)

I wish I had written this. When I get permission, I will probably adapt this for the elmwoodjesus.org website.

Happy Easter!
Category: religion

Today is the most fun day of the Christian calendar. Here's how I am celebrating.

Right now: Drinking coffee and making sure everything is ready for worship.

9:20am: Meeting with the people that will join Lafayette Church today, to get them ready. (Six of them! W00t!)

10 am: Worship begins: special music, special flowers, new members join, everybody dresses up, we share communion, and even have a u2 song (plus there will be more people than usual!)

11:30: Coffee with people, Easter egg hunt, and then go home

12pm: start making burritos

1pm: Easter burritos with friends!
ladycroft - 03/24/08 07:53
Well I'm glad you had a great day. Happy Easter! It was very weird and uncomfortable having to work on Easter and no one celebrating it.
museumchick - 03/23/08 18:58
happy easter, drew!
mrmike - 03/23/08 11:51
Happy day, good sir
james - 03/23/08 10:05
Congrats on the new congregants. All your hard work is doing good for your church.

I was feeling to ethnic this morning for going over my ingredients for traditional easter lasagna so I got a good chuckle over Easter Burritos.

Enjoy.
mrdeadlier - 03/23/08 10:04
Easter burrito? Is that like the Festivus Pole?
metalpeter - 03/23/08 09:56
Happy Easter to you also. Easter is one of those holidays that even though it a Christian holiday it is also about people getting together with other people they know and often has not much to do with the realigous side of things. Everyone celebrates it differently and that is fine.
janelle - 03/23/08 08:58
Don't forget dyeing Easter eggs! I've already got some boiling!
