Satellites – Free CD

The singer/song writer Zac Seif is the front-man for the new Texas based Satellites.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I keep singing their mellow/catchy tunes.  They have now made their CD free to the world.  What a nice early Christmas present.

When God Catches Your Eye

Our church started a new series last week call Eharmony.God.  The central concept is love God for who he is.  I had the opportunity to open the series up with a sermon called When God Catches Your Eye. Check it out.

 

New Rocket Summer EP

I have anticipated the release of The Rocket Summer’s new CD since his last release in the summer of 07.  Since the new CD release has been delayed, a 4 song EP is now available on iTunes to help tidy everyone over.  Bryce Avery is the brains behind The Rocket Summer.  Every sound you hear on the CD is played by Bryce Avery. I have seen The Rocket Summer live many times and each time it has been a new experience.  In one year, I saw them live in 4 different states [Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio].  Needless to say, I dig The Rocket Summer and I dig the new tracks.  Check it out and buy the new EP for $2.99!

 

Hellogoodbye – Free EP

Hellogoodbye released their new EP for free!  Hellogoodbye is on tour with Sherwood (the band I posted last week) and Hanson?.  I have listened to these guys for a couple years now and I’m excited to get some new tunes for free.  All you have to do is go to their website and sign up for their newsletter.  As a thank you, they send you a link for a free CD.

Enjoy!

 

Social Network Advertisements

Social Networks have changed the world of communication.  One way it has changed is in advertisements.  It is now easy for us to get a real testimony of a product.  I feel that no matter what is being sold, reviews and testimonies from the common person give the most accurate description of the product.  Example…If my friends are posting positive updates on Facebook or Twitter about a new movie they saw, it makes me want to go watch it.  It does much more for me than a 30sec commercial.

 

Sherwood = $2.99

I have been listening to Sherwood for a couple years now and I have been anticipating their newest CD.  It is now out and Amazon has it on sell for $2.99.  Check it out and buy it!  Great tunes, Great price.

 

Save Camp?

A week ago, I took my students to a weekend retreat at a local camp.  The weekend event was called Ignite and it was organized by seven local student ministers.  It was a great opportunity for me to get to know other ministers in the area so I jumped on the planning team.

 

Mathletes – Free EP

Although I have gotten out of the Pop Punk genre, I just stumbled onto a band called Mathletes that is giving away their debut EP for free.  Although it’s not much my style, it is free and free is good.  Check it out.

Overtime Party!

Fulfilling a need in a community is a great way for growth in a church.  My first couple months in Indiana, I observed and listened to the needs of students in our community.  Sure I had a lot of ideas, but what did the students need?  As I listened to them talk, I saw their desire to have a place to “hang out.”  They wanted a place to invite friends and meet new people.

 

At the Pole

As a student minister, finding ways to get into the area schools is always a good thing.  My church happens to touch properties with the local Jr./Sr. High School.  So students already know the church exists because they see it everyday.  We are known as the “church next to the school,” which I think is a good thing.
