We're preparing for the recording tonight. Peter flew in last night and is here with me this morning. We've been listening to music and trying to think through arrangements and more song possibilities. It will be a very full weekend.
Our building is about to become home to another group of believers. A group from St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church (known around Nashville as "St. B's") will be worshiping here on Sunday nights. St. B's has always been an interesting place...really an Episcopal church with incredible praise and worship. After some disappointments with the direction of the national Episcopal Church, a large group is leaving to begin a new work. Over the coming months we plan to integrate some. Our monthly Celebration Sunday night worship time will be a mixture of the two in every way. We plan to have some pulpit swaps and fellowship gatherings. We just want to be warm and welcoming and help these fellow believers as they journey to a new home. I'll keep you posted. No doubt, it should be interesting!
This Sunday Lee Camp will be preaching. Lee and his family have been at Otter Creek for a while. I really appreciate who he is. We are going to concentrate on the Lord's prayer. I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you for your prayers this weekend. Thank you for lifting us up. Please pray that our hearts will be at rest before the Lord and that our voices will endure a very grueling three days. Thank you!

What an opportunity for fulfilling the prayer of Christ for unity! No telling what you and they will learn. I am so proud of Otter for taking on St. B's. It must say something about Otter that they have considered coming there.
I'll be praying for you and the team as you pour yourselves into another recording. May the Spirit give you glimpses of God's glory to inspire you all to sing with strength, conviction, passion, and devotion. May God strengthen your bodies and minds to be able to give it your best.
I can't wait to hear it all, and to be blessed by new songs of worship!
Brandon, I agree with your mom...what an opportunity for unity. May God weave your ministries together into an amazing piece of work. julie
I have to ask how you can call the people at St. B's "fellow believers"? Yes they believe in Christ, but they do not practice the teachings He laid out for us to follow. If you want to fellowship with denominations, then by all means concider yourself a denomination. Eph. 5:11 tells us to reprove the unfruitful works of darkness. Eph. 5:19 "debate thy cause" Ac. 18:28 "he vigorously refuted the Jews in PUBLIC DEBATE" (eph. JPL) Ac. 9: 29, "hte talked and DEBATED with the Grecian Jews" (eph. JPL) Instead of joining hands with those who do not truth, follow the Biblical example and debate them.
