Aw, man. I wish I could have been there. :) Is there ANY possible way that you could upload any audio from the worship?? I would love to hear all, or atleast some of it!! :)

What a fantastic conference! The music was phenomenal, which goes to show that you don’t have to go out and hire a bunch of “heavy-hitters” (not that you guys aren’t!) in order to have a worthwhile event. Great content and presentation…took worshipping God to a new level for me!

Hey, what was that touching song about losing a child (”little hands”?) sung by the keyboard worship leader on Saturday morning? Is that recorded anywhere? My wife and I lost our little girl, Eve, in 2003, and I know that this song would minister to my wife, just as it did to me.

Jared,

We’ll check into posting some of the songs from the conference. Thanks for asking.

Phil,

So glad you could be with us! I hope to upload Jon’s spontaneous song some time in the next few weeks. So sorry about your loss of your little girl. I pray that you’d continue to be comforted by the God who holds us in his everlasting arms.

What a blessing the entire conference was to me and my team. Is the choral arrangement of “Glorious and Mighty” that was done by the conference choir available? WOW! What an awesome moment of worship — would really like to do that.

Hey Guys! I am “The Wife With the Selfish Husband”. I am still rolling with joy and laughter to hear from my family and friends the story of the iPod give away! Let me say thank you so much for considering us. I am truly blessed and I wish that we could have been there on Saturday, I can’t wait to download Saturday’s sessions.
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I know we have been witness to the active hand of God during the conference. I am still in awe that the Lord would show this favor on us in being there. I appreciate so much your leadership but more than this, your deep desire to allow God to work in you and through you for the benefit of His body. Your heart for the Gospel and experiencing it in all its fullness is near and dear to us.
I was most impacted by the freedom in worship and desire to continue to carry this freedom in our local body. There were times during the main session worship that I would just listen and take in all in. My heart was overwhelmed to be witness to The Body of Christ worshiping our Creator with such love and humility. To see the love for Jesus dripping from hands raised in worship for Christ; I thought my heart would burst. There is a deep worth in community worship that I believe our hearts cry out for and Sovereign Grace displays this in the fullness of the Gospel. Thank you.
My Husband and I were worshiping to the PSALMS cd on the way to church this morning. As a vocalist ,I can not wait to incorporate these songs into our worship. Thank you again for your desire for a deeper understanding of the heart of God.

I too wanted to put in a plea for being able to have access (download maybe, but even just to listen to) to the worship at the conference. Not only would it continue to refresh my mind and soul, but, having gone to the Art of Arranging and Creative Arranging seminars, it is helpful then to listen to the actual arranging in action in addition to the CD’s (which I also have).

My husband and I, Bob, were the ones that told you about our little 11 year old, Gracie, who thought we were coming all the way to Maryland with 8 others from our church to meet in a little conference room to discuss our worship — ahhahaaa - wasn’t until she saw the picture of the sanctuary I sent on my camera phone that she understood!! She just couldn’t wrap her little mind around why we needed to come to Maryland to talk about worship. And now it makes sense to me…. :)

Another blessing is that we are currently going through Don’t Waste Your Life with our teens and their parents. One of the men from our group is going to be teaching on Chapter 8 (the one about glorifying God 8 to 5) in September — we were soooooooooooo blessed that this is the exact thing that was taught Sunday at your church. It was a great foundation to this lesson!! What a blessing!!!

The conference exceeded my expectations beyond words. I feel so encouraged and refreshed, as well as pumped full of knowledge, wisdom and IDEAS!!!! :) Thank you for all the effort!

Hey, Bob. Thanks for leading a great conference. I’m thinking about how to respond.

I am also interested in the choral arrangement for “Great and Mighty” as well as the chorus/bridge that Joseph used on “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Any chance of those appearing online in the near future? Thanks.

Bob:

Thanks for a wonderful conference! I to want to put my vote in for some audio of the worship if at all possible. I would love to just listen to it again!

I would also love to get the arrangement of More Love To Thee that was done on Friday. It was awesome! :-)

Bob:
I too have to say that the conference was a tremendous blessing for the group of us that attended. Sovereign Grace music has been an integral part of shaping our culture of worship week after week.

Is there a way to see a list of the attending churches represented? Particularly, we’re looking to network churches here in California that have like-minded aspirations for their corporate worship.

Any possibility of making the “Great and Mighty” choral arrangement available? Thanks.

I am a mother of 4 with my oldest son interested in this conference for 09′ . Is this a conference for younger adults also? My son plays the guitar and piano and leads worship for our youth at church. We attend First Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga, TN. Please send any information for next year’s plans and if he can attend.
Thank you,
Lynn Jones
