Just got invited to this facebook group of an awesome new game, check out the game rules.
Synopsis:
This group is intended to promote the development of the new video game Worship Team Hero.
You play a worship leader of a big time Church in downtown Calgary. As with all worship teams, you must recruit a band (or two) composed entirely of Churched individuals who think they are skilled in their instrument, when really, they are mediocre at best.
You must develop a repetoire of worship songs. You will train your transposition and arranging skills as you must make sure that every song has no more than four chords (fewer is better). Also, every song must be in either E or G, because any other key is much too hard for guitarists.
The game takes you through an exciting journey of worship leading as you develop and promote your ministry.
Feel free to engage and allow your instrumentalists to experiment with solos, but take caution, because any excessive soloing will cause an uprise amongst the old ladies in your congregation.
Follow through to read the rules.

I’ve spoken to many of you in recent months about how I’m day to day on my feelings about working in Centre Hastings. I also shared with some of you that while we were out east speaking at churches, I had a few job offers, some that seemed really good, others that seemed.. well ok. Jennifer and I have been praying for a little over a month now, laying out our fleece (so to speak) on whether any of these jobs seemed to fit us and our call. God has made things very clear to us that the positions in the Saint John area are where he wants us to be… it was just all a matter of time for us…. the position(s) are perfect, because it gives us both a job, as Jen will take one churches YP position, and I the other churches.. I will make sundays hard, but, it just seems like what we are suppose to do.
I spoke with my director with YFC this morning, and we’ve decided that I will finish in Centre Hastings the end of April, and they will do what they can to find a new worker for the area. So, family… one month from today we will be sitting at your doorsteps looking for somewhere to stay until we find a suitable/affordable place in the Saint John area.
To all of my friends I’ve made over the past 3 years, I love you all so very much, we are so sorry to spring this on you with such short notice, we will talk more with you all in the days to come.
