Message in a bottle...

Pentecost worship was full and sweet: an a capella anthem a la Palestrina, gospel group singing, children, art work and a little blast from our band Between the Banks reworking the Police classic - Message in a Bottle. It was a whole lotta fun...

Thanks to Andy and Jon, Dianne and Eva and Ben and Steve... you guys rock!

Later this summer, my friend and colleague, Rick Chrisman, will join me in a trial faith and culture TV program for local television. We have been hatching this idea for a few months - both of us have been influenced by the visionary work of Paul Tillich - and in June we're going to give it a shot. Three 30 minute tapings each Monday morning for a month mixing art, music, poetry, prose and our peculiar take on culture and faith. He is currently working out the techno-details and after Memorial Day we'll pull it together.

Like Jesus said: the Spirit blows where it will (and Bob Franke added: so beware the man selling tickets!) Who knows where this is headed, but it has something to do with Pentecost for sure.
