Worship Curator

Often I'm asked what I do. This is one of the better descriptions of my intended purpose of my work. Does your worshiping community have a curator? What would change if someone were serving in this role?

my hope is found.

Hello readers.

My name is Alex and I am another family member that has decided to write about worship, because I too have become enthralled in it. I am Evelyn's son and Kelly's younger brother. I live in Temple, Texas and work at First United Methodist Church directing contemporary worship and a couple other ministries.

Something was shared with me a few weeks ago and I thought I would begin my contributions by passing along a great song to you. Owl City is a fairly new band that I hope you have heard of. They are difficult to describe except as "electronic". I was shown this post in their blog which features a beautiful arrangement of "In Christ Alone". It is performed by Owl City's lead singer. I hope you enjoy.

Is Easter a Religious Holiday?

Interesting thoughts on Easter in this article. What are people learning in church if only 80% of church goers consider Easter a religious holiday and 55% of church goers can identify it as an occasion relating to the resurrection?
