Great day. I played guitar and sang a few vocal fills and harmony, but other than that I let 2 of our other lead vocalists take the reigns this week. It was great! One Way (Hillsong Arr.): Key A.

We kind of played off the old school video game feel, but basically, decided to just keep this pretty generic. Week 1: What's Invading Your Space? A message about creating margin (space) in our lives. Week 2: What's Invading Your Wallet? A message about creating margin (space) in our ... Read More
