While in Cork we will be conducting a worship workshop for Grace Fellowship, a large (by Irish standards) church body with a great worship ministry. The picture to the left was taken at Grace in September.A very exciting thing is going to be meeting with the pastor of Cork United Methodist Church. His church is exploring the possibility of moving into doing some contemporary worship. In fact, they are to have a meeting later this month for all those who are interested in being a part of a praise team. Maybe by the time we arrive there will be a group of people to meet with and help them to focus and envision what God may have for them in the area of worship renewal.
We also plan to meet with Niamh Varian-Barry, who leads worship at Calvary Chapel Cork, and hopefully several other worship leaders from the area, for a time of encouragement, fellowship and vision-casting.
Back in Dublin we have a vocal workshop on the calendar at Swords Baptist Church and will be leading worship there on a Sunday morning.
We don't yet know what else the Lord has in mind for this trip, but I'm expecting it to be a full three weeks.
I realize that we didn't do a great job of keeping everyone updated when we were last in Europe, but we have solved some of our technical issues and hope to do better this time.
Prayer request time:
- pray for the events I have mentioned and for any others that may crop up -- that God would do His work in us and through us.
- pray for all those with whom we will meet one-on-one or in small groups -- that God would open up more doors for ministry.
- pray for us as we are away from three major sources of income for three weeks -- that God would provide our every need, as always.
Of course another thing to pray about is that we wouldn't freeze our tails off, which would make the plane ride home very uncomfortable! From a Florida winter to an Irish winter -- what were we thinking? Na -- it'll be great.
