I’ve just taken a new pastoral position at Creekside Community Church in Alamo (near Danville and Walnut Creek in California) and we’ll be moving at the end of this month.  This is a huge move for us since we’ve lived in Mount Hermon for 14 years.  I’m very excited about the church, my ministry involvement,  and what it means for my family.  We’ll be living only 5 miles from the church which means no more commuting.  I’ll still be working with Heartfelt Music Ministry, but I’ll be more involved with this local church in the East Bay.  It is clearly a “God-send” and already we can tell God is at work to build His Kingdom in a significant way.  Would you pray for me and my family’s transition, move, and ministry with new people?  There never a dull moment when we let God lead the way!

I’ve finally joined the world of web wayfarers in building bonds through blogging.  A big change is this new site, thanks to Mount Hermon’s Web Master Dan Dawson.   I would like to invite more interaction and discussion on all topics posted here regularly by me.  I realize those who are following the journey of Heartfelt Music & Ministry are varied in every way — from an eight year old guitar student to an 89 year old prayer partner; from concert goers to worship pastors; from MySpace maniacs to YouTube teachers; from brand new Christians to those seasoned in faith for many years.  I celebrate the diversity and think it’s wonderful to dialog together about important topics such as faith, music, and worship.  It would be a delight to hear from you and converse on the topics presented.  Thank you for your continued encouragement and support.
