LOTS OF GREAT CHRISTIAN MUSIC TOPICS TO DISH OUT!

Hey all…God is good, all the time!!!

I have a mass of good news to share with you, and all of this good news is definitely pertaining to THE Good News of Jesus!

For all of my fellow Buckeyes in Ohio, and anyone else who was going to travel a distance to hear Bethany Dillon in concert later this month near Indian Lake (near my home stompin’ grounds!), there has been a serious change of venue due to great response.  The concert is April 18th and was going to be held at Indian Lake High School.  Now the location has been changed to Calvary Baptist Church in Bellefontaine (a small distance away!!!).  Tickets are going fast, so contact the church soon:  Calvary Baptist Church, 1140 Rush Avenue, Bellefontaine, Ohio, 43311, phone 937-599-4775.  Remember, tickets are moving out and seating is limited, so call soon if you want to worship with Bethany Dillon in concert!

Couple of iTunes specials for Easter that you all need to know about:  Jeremy Camp’s latest work, “Speaking Louder Than Before”, and Kutless’ newest, “To Know That You’re Alive” are only $7.99 on iTunes for a few more days….great music, great Easter gifts!

Here’s something new from Joy Williams that you can check out.   I did, and I have to tell you, it’s catchy, but I was disappointed overall.  Joy’s debut music video, “One of Those Days” is available to see at http://youtube.com/watch?v=A6qPjUpo .  It’s a good song, very indie, upbeat, and the video is fun (backwards, but fun), but I like some of Joy’s worship stuff much better.

MercyMe has a fan pack that is going to be in stores tomorrow, and I will be checking into this:  The pack includes the CD and DVD “10″, which gives you 12 of their hit songs plus three new ones, and 11 videos plus Gospel Music Network’s “Faith and Fame” show, featuring MercyME.  The rest of the fan pack (Yes, there IS more!) includes a free MercyMe “10″ t-shirt, and an autographed lithograph copy of “I Can Only Imagine”.  Again, it comes out tomorrow.  Check out some of the videos at http://www.mercyme.org//blog/category/mercyme10/ .

Now, for you music pastors, coming out soon is a terrific book by one of my FB friends, and a wonderful man — this is one you’ll want to have in your office.  Mark Elliott has written a book called “Confessions of An Insignificant Pastor”.  I love that title.  We’ve all been there, pastor or not….am I right?

On Wednesday, more news, plus a look at a brand new website and group for church worship pastors and music leaders!

Stay under His wings, and cuddled closely in the palm of His hand,
