Night of Worship in McKinney, TX Fri, Nov 13

Posted on Monday, November 2, 2009 in uncategorized

Hey Dallas. We are doing a short concert that will flow into a time of ministry and worship together as special guests at Community Life Church in McKinney, TX.

Its not that often we play…well…outside of someone’s living room for a concert, so it should be special. What’s even better is that Rocky and Julie Presley and possibly some more great musicians will be joining us to add to the raucous factor.

Bring a friend–this is a great way to introduce someone to the Blackthorn Project, or to concerts about the journey of faith, or to worship that’s not stuffy, or to live music.

Note: we’ll also be leading worship for Sunday morning services the weekend prior to the Night of Worship. That’d be Sunday, November 8, for my fellow temporally challenged. Gatherings are at 9:30 and 11:15.

Yes, We Twitter and Facebook

A simple update about social media:

We love to write blog posts for you to get via email. But we love your email inbox and the space you love for it to have.

We might think of something we want you to know about every other day, but we don’t want to get emails with new blog posts from anyone that much, so we figure you don’t either.

But, if you use Twitter, which even the US Government is figuring out they should use, you can get little tiny updates, notes, opportunities, and niceties when you want them. We’re, uh, tweeting quite a bit now.

Follow blackthornprjct on Twitter.

Also, if you are a Facebook addict like everyone we know and their mom, you might want to become a fan of our page. We’re using it a bit more too these days.

If this post made no sense to you, I commend you for loving the real and simple things in life. Now go use your flint and steel to build a fire. And say hi to my Dad–that’s probably what he’s doing.

daughter

Inspired by Psalm 139, this is the first song I wrote after the birth of our first daughter, Elizabeth Caroline, whose name means “Beautiful woman consecrated to God.”

I wrote it for her as a mother’s blessing, that she would know her place in the Father’s heart and trust in his goodness.

I wanted to post this as the next song as we are inside 3 weeks until the birth of our second daughter, and my heart is full of joy and anticipation.

–Laurie

If you like this song why not leave a comment? Please share it with friends; feature it on your facebook, blog, or what-not; and put it on your next mix. If you wish to sow into our ministry or join our partners community, that would be great. If you don’t want to right now, then keep on rockin’ in the free world.

Holiday House Concert?

Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 in house concerts, uncategorized

We’ve had several people ask us lately how to host us in their homes around the holidays or into the new year. We developed a quick sheet to let you know just how it normally works, and why it’s such a gift for your circle of influence.

{Click “House Concerts” above to see the information]

Sound good? It really is that simple. We’re always willing to talk about beyond-the-norm situations and can be creative, so if you’re thinking ‘I’d love to but…..’, well, don’t. What do your friends need more than to have a relaxed, meaningful time together, being themselves and celebrating the highest things?
