See u there!
WOW - we came … we praised … we worshiped! Our photographer will have pictures in the Photo Gallery soon … so stay tuned.
What a glorious time we had both Friday and Saturday nights on Jekyll Island for Worship Under the Stars, 2006. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude at the support we received once again from the community, from sponsors, partners, volunteers … and of course, God Himself.
Just as He promised - He drew near to us as we drew near to Him.
It’s a beautiful thing to see the Body of Christ gather in unity for worship.
To those who served - know your reward is great in Heaven. Your crowns are being stacked up and you’ll need a golden wagon to pull them around - then again, we’ll just throw them at the feet of our Master.
For those who attended - thanks a million. It’s a huge honor to worship together with you. I hope you’ll click the “Comment” link at the bottom of this message and leave your reflections.
Finally, I’d like to invite you to continue in our worship together - I will be updating my own “worship podcast” shortly and hope to be more consistent in leading others in worship. Check it out at:

For the Kingdom,
Fred
