Conspire Conference

UPDATE / Friday 6:30 pm :

Great time with the student band this morning at Conspire Conference. Also fun hanging with Brandon Grissom (http://www.brandongrissom.net) and band. We discovered a new iphone app. “Dog Whistle”. You’ve gotta try it. Let’s you play a tone at different frequencies. Check and see how high you can hear. I scored at 19,750 Hz. I can’t wait to bring it into a meeting with me and see how long it takes for people to notice a high pitch ringing sound.

This week Willow Creek is hosting the Conspire Conference – a conference for children’s ministry pastors and staff. I’ve been able to poke my head into a couple of sessions. Phil Vischer was here  (the Veggie Tales guy), as well as Sara Groves. During the morning session, Lakewood Church (Houston, TX) brought their student worship band in to lead worship. It was really cool. Very talented and energetic. Tomorrow morning, one of our students bands and I am leading a song to close out the conference. Hopefully I’ll have some videos or pics to post of that later. It’s started to get a bit warmer here in Chicagoland. Warm, Sunny… there’s nothing like sitting in the park with a book and some bubble tea. I have to run, but I’ll post more soon.
