Hey,

Looking for a great place to go to church tomorrow?

Check out these amazing places:

Church at the Movies

Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle

Nesconset Christian Church

or, for a killer evening service, hit up my man Dougie Fresh at Collision.

The list is by no means exhaustive and I didn’t mean to leave anyone out. These are just a few really awesome churches that came to mind.

You may or may not have heard that True North is giving it’s staff a much needed sabbath from hosting sabbaths tomorrow.

Hope you really enjoy yours!!

See you next week.

Hey, I got a comment yesterday from my man Mike Zizolfo down at Fair Oaks Church in Va.

He produced a video for his church that really illustrates what I wrote about yesterday.

If you can spare it, this will be 7 minutes well spent.

Thanks Mike!

Hasta.

Gang,

I am (obviously) very into online community. I think the interweb is a great place to connect with old friends and sometimes even make new ones, but we need to be careful and exercise good judgment.

I believe people can find real community online, but it’s impossible to ignore the following fact: Deep, intimate connection online can sometimes make real life connection harder, not easier.

There’s something about the anonymity of our computer screen that encourages us to be FAR more open and vulnerable with people online than we would ever be in real life. I’m sure many who are reading this can remember instances where you said something in an online chat that made things awkward when you next saw the person in real life.

I am SO psyched that the people at Muppet Central are producing new material.

Check out this amazing rendition of Carol of the Bells.

And if this doesn’t make you smile, go ahead and change your name to Ebeneezer!!!
