Inside scoop on Rita & Texas...News at the Creek... Who stopped by FC?

Yes, I am ok and all is well. Hurricane Rita has turned more east. The DFW Intl. Airport is discussing possibly shutting down the airport completely Saturday and Sunday. The DFW metroplex is completely sold out of hotel/motel rooms. The closest is the far north of Oklahoma City, Ok.

Dad and I arrived safe, sound, probably not so sane, but I was able to go back to work early Tuesday morning.

This past weekend at Fellowship, we had two different musical numbers. Check it out here.
So you are probably wondering why does FC and other church's play for example this weekend the Dixie Chicks and Sheryl Crow in their worship set? CHECK out this blog on "Secular music in Church."

We made it to the "Creek" on Sunday, and dad could not believe the campus and how massive it is. He enjoyed the service, but commented, "it was sure different, this church is definitely into building relationships." They kicked off the a brand new series, War of the Worlds, first installment- REEL relationships-"why can't you be more like me?" The series opener was a guitar solo, and he was doing a cool riff to "Live and Light Die" and with also a light show. After the service we ate lunch in their 800 seat cafe, and then I showed him around the campus, with a brief hello to Gene Apple in the guest central area. He saw me and immediately remembered me from FC, and asked me what I thought of the service. I loved it

Gene Apple is the new Lead Pastor for Willow Creek South Barrington Campus, check out the news press here.

Thank you to all who have emailed and called me to ask how things are. We need your prayers, times are tough, and hopefully it will let up here, very soon.
