Last Monday morning, our daughter, Capri, called us and said that she was heading to the hospital to have our first grandson. Coleen and I were working at the church, so we wrapped up, quickly, and ran (actually, drove quickly) home to pick up our already packed suitcases and Cagney (our Yorkie) and at noon we were on the road to Columbus, Ohio. The 7 1/2 hour trip seemed amazing slow this time. Along the way, Coleen was kept updated by Capri's husband, Adam, through text messages. Coleen then relayed them to a long list of family and friends through text messages. It was so fun to listen to her phone explode with responses after each update.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Now, I heard that the first baby labor was supposed to be a long process. We are thinking 12- 18 hours. Not this time. We had just gotten into Ohio at around 5PM when Coleen got the text: "Capri is 9cm dilated!" Uh oh! We still had more than two hours to go before we would arrive at the hospital...</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">At 5:45 pm on Monday, April 26, we got this picture:</span></span></div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZmvEiJVerW7SaK1gn516mE-Ieyxa0n3f6reVkXnTi6IzbCExTADS1dQ2uRpEq9U54zq7ILWJq5eerIYwK4GVR1IsfIaPb8NBkpFBPeqm528lGj9RpIMp3gV0tlYE55wmvADCmQO00kg/s1600/Capri+and+Alex.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZmvEiJVerW7SaK1gn516mE-Ieyxa0n3f6reVkXnTi6IzbCExTADS1dQ2uRpEq9U54zq7ILWJq5eerIYwK4GVR1IsfIaPb8NBkpFBPeqm528lGj9RpIMp3gV0tlYE55wmvADCmQO00kg/s200/Capri+and+Alex.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467045736912805906" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Alexander James Hemsworth was 5 minutes old when this pic was taken.

I think it was the first time I've ever had the band and sang "Blessed Be Your Name" at a funeral and it was so powerful!<br /><br />Easter Sunday's traditional service was fantastic as we sang Easter hymns, shared scripture responsively and celebrated the resurrection.

I have been in many worship celebrations over the years, but last Friday night was the best I can remember. Choir, you lead the way with joy and enthusiasm that honored God and showed all our visitors that Jesus is Lord in your life. We worked hard and you delivered. Awesome!<br /><br />Another descriptive word for the night would be "freedom." With our Special Olympian guests leading the way, the sanctuary was filled with uninhibited expressions of love and praise. The clapping during our singing was not totally rhythmic, but it didn't matter because it was authentic, honest and from the heart. The signing took on special meaning as Talking Hands shared "You Raise Me Up" with passion and commitment. Amy taught the choir to sign "Our God Saves" and I watched the Special Olympians watching her as she signed our worship songs. And what was more special than when a couple of them spontaneously came forward and signed "How Great Thou Art" with her.<br /><br />Your generosity was also overwhelming! We were able to restock our Food Bank with your "admission tickets" and our offering for Special Olympics was $1100! The cookie reception after the concert was such a blessing and I could see the joy on everyone's faces.<br /><br />Well done team! Our prayer was that we would be the aroma of Jesus to everyone who was at the concert...Amen!<br /><br />And then came Sunday! There is nothing that thrills my heart more than seeing new believers baptized. We were able to share this special time with both services yesterday and it was memorable. Congratulations to the newly baptized!<br /><br />So... what's ahead?<br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:180%;">March 28</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Palm Sunday and "Hallelujah!

There is comfort in knowing that those we love are sharing experiences together. Alexander James Hemsworth (arriving in 8 weeks) had a wonderful party last night with Capri's co-workers. The family shower is next weekend and I'm delighted that Co is able to share in these special times.<br /><br />The cost, however, is she missed one of the best Sundays I can remember at Owego Naz. When God shows His love for us by correcting our lukewarm spirits, all we can do is fall on our face and repent and then seek Him more and more. I'm thankful that His message was received by so many yesterday. Now, our challenge on Monday is to seek Him more and more. Has my heart regained the passion? Yes :)<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">TONIGHT!</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">OWEGO NAZ WORSHIP CHOIR</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">REHEARSAL</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">6:30 - 8:30</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Blessings,</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dave</span></span><br /></div></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span>Dave Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679792318740188530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923212542518756631.post-16063517925304021242010-02-22T09:23:00.007-05:002010-02-22T09:49:03.534-05:00It's Monday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn48NPwdTsi9IbhISXMLe0hcRrllrSh-Hd5v9oGiNK5kIJBiQCLmq7W9nqFf7KhhIrE4SAp5Q6HSYGyIX-4wYYO2d0TkEdfsUD0Cj6fSOAAU8t8cGcBT__Ht7mxzMljZyWF6Lyuf3RTLg/s1600-h/business+card+logo.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn48NPwdTsi9IbhISXMLe0hcRrllrSh-Hd5v9oGiNK5kIJBiQCLmq7W9nqFf7KhhIrE4SAp5Q6HSYGyIX-4wYYO2d0TkEdfsUD0Cj6fSOAAU8t8cGcBT__Ht7mxzMljZyWF6Lyuf3RTLg/s200/business+card+logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441073438399027906" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Hi Team,<br />Did you sense the joy yesterday as our kids shared their talents in both services.

Speaking of Outreach Owego, I met with the Special Olympics directors last week and they are on board to be a part of this very special time (Friday, March 19 at 7PM)</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">SPECIAL OUTREACH OWEGO REHEARSAL</span><br />SATURDAY<br />FEB. 13<br />1-3 PM<br /></span><img src="file:///C:/Users/Dave/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-7.png" alt="" /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Ron Hutchcraft had a great thought this morning...</span></span><br /></span><p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">I'm holding a $20 bill in my hand. I don't get to do that too often, so this is a really special moment. If you were sitting here with me and I offered this $20 to you, would you take it? I think you would. Now you're going to have to use your imagination to picture what I'm about to do, but here goes. I am now crumpling that nice $20 bill and I am crushing it into a little wad. You still want this bill? If you were right here, would you still take it? It's all wadded up. OK, now I'm beating on this wadded up bill, and I am actually stomping on it with my foot. Now, if I still... (Boy, I get some exercise on this program. That's unusual.) Now, if I still offered to give you this $20, would you still take it? I mean, it's been beat up, it's crushed, stomped on? Well, of course you would.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;"> I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Stepped On But Still Precious."</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">And that's the point, isn't it? No matter how abused and beat up that $20 is, it's still worth just as much, and so are you.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">I'll tell you, there's someone listening today who's been treated like I just treated this currency. You feel beat up, mishandled, treated badly, you've been crushed, and you've been trampled on. And when someone's been treated like that, they begin to believe a lie that they're not worth much. If they were, why would anyone treat them like that? When you think you're worthless, you start making choices based on that; throwing yourself away, settling for junk, doing anything for a little love. But the truth is, you're just like my beat-up $20 bill. No matter how you've been treated, you are still just as valuable. You're still precious because no one on earth gave you your worth - God did. So no one on earth can take it away.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">We've got to go to God's Book to get the real truth about your value. And when we do, we find three worth-givers that can't be taken from you. First, your worth is based on your being made in God's image. In Genesis 1:27, the Bible says, "God created man in His own image." God made you as a reflection of Himself, so don't tell me you're not worth much!</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Secondly, your worth is based on your being God's one-of-a-kind masterpiece. In Psalm 139:13, David says to God, "You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful." When you believe you're not worth much, you are insulting the One who designed you. From the moment that egg and sperm came together to start your life, you have been God's unique creation. If you don't believe it, look at your fingerprints. There's no one else on earth like you.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size:130%;">But most importantly, you are infinitely valuable because God paid for you with the life of His Son! Our word for today from the Word of God, Galatians 2:20 says, "I live by faith in the </span><span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;font-size:130%;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265023123_6" >Son of God</span><span style="font-size:130%;">, who loved me and gave Himself for me." I want to invite you to walk with me right now up a hill near </span><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265023123_7" style="font-size:130%;">Jerusalem</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> called Skull Hill. At the top, imagine there's this blood-stained cross. That's where God's one and only Son thought you were so precious that He poured out His life for every wrong thing you have ever done. Why? Because that's the only way you could ever be forgiven of your sins; the only way you could ever have the love relationship with Him you were made for; the only way you could be with Him in heaven forever.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Have a great day!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dave</span></span><br /></p></div></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span><span style=";font-family:Calibri;font-size:36pt;color:white;" ></span>Dave Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679792318740188530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923212542518756631.post-2852915708822734352010-01-25T08:14:00.005-05:002010-01-25T09:03:09.974-05:00It's Monday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSaERLut2KLvJLX9kBJo2TnXkXb8BnMczYDT08lWz7ZRL10a_pV-QbEx5QcXjTTE16POiLi5RuPiGYBB1n7ZNE7xylBbgIB4h0m-KopnarYtCUqzy9iz9-PVunfZ9KgicqzQ8oDnQuZw/s1600-h/business+card+logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSaERLut2KLvJLX9kBJo2TnXkXb8BnMczYDT08lWz7ZRL10a_pV-QbEx5QcXjTTE16POiLi5RuPiGYBB1n7ZNE7xylBbgIB4h0m-KopnarYtCUqzy9iz9-PVunfZ9KgicqzQ8oDnQuZw/s200/business+card+logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430665503918278194" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Good Monday Team,<br />I start this morning with some special thank yous to our tech team yesterday. We did a major overhaul of our sound system this past week (replaced all the worn out wiring) and we had to do a full resetting of our sound board. Most people cannot understand how difficult this task was. Our sound techs (Coleen, Andy and Marie) did a marvelous job of setting mics and dealing with new speaker settings and avoiding feedback during our worship celebrations. Outstanding sound for the services...great job! And a special thanks to Bob Rutan for resetting the video sound and our DVD was great! We are so fortunate to have such talented musicians and technicians.

Englewood, FL... Wilson, NC... Washington, DC. We put more than 4000 miles on our car and spent 46 hours traveling... it was awesome! Many people think that driving that much would be painful, but it is actually fantastic alone time for us. But it is always nice to be home!<br /><br />We were gone two Sundays and the first one was in Columbus, OH and we attended the Heritage Christian church where my daughter and her husband...and our coming grandson attend. This is a very large church and we worshiped well. Check them out at <a href="http://www.heritagecc.org/">Heritage Christian church</a>.<br /><br />Our second Sunday was in Florida and we drove 2 and a half hours to visit with good friends at Metro West Nazarene in Orlando. Metro West is an International church with a strong Caribbean influence. Very energetic and spirit filled with clapping, flag waving, dancing in the aisles...like it use to be in the early Nazarene church :) They have a brand new building that is debt free after they sold their old property to developers for several million dollars. Check them out here... <a href="http://metrowestchurch.org/templates/System/default.asp?id=20999">Metro West Nazarene</a>.<br /><br />I was able to spend some of my vacation time in Florida listening to music and I am so excited to introduce the Owego Naz Worship Choir to our new Easter music.

I'm excited with the satisfaction that you all did a magnificent musical and that we touched so many lives over the weekend. I'm relieved that we pulled it off again. I'm sad, because I love the preparation and rehearsal road we travel to get to this point. But there's good news...EASTER'S COMING!! I especially like completing our Christmas musical because we always head to Florida after Christmas and I get to listen to Easter music on the beach...the hot, sunny beach!<br /><br />But Christmas is still yet to come. We have 2 more special times that the Owego Naz worship team gets to celebrate. This week is Christmas Sunday and we will be singing, "Go Tell" in the second service. We will NOT rehearse this Wednesday night. Meet in the choir loft on Sunday at 10:40am for a run through.<br /><br />Then, perhaps, the most special service of the year is our Christmas Eve service at 7PM. We will allow you to sit with your families for most of this service and then we will sing "One Child" as the introduction to Pastor's message. As always, the candlelight finale will be awesome.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">"I vow to worship you this Christmas Day,</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'll stand and say,</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">'Glory, glory to the Highest in excelsis Deo.'</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I pledge to celebrate the meaning of this holiday</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Giving praises to the beauty of your holy name."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">"More than anything I do, more than anything I say,</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">More than anything I say or do, I worship You.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">More than any card I write</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">More than any Christmas light I light</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">More than any gift I give</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'll give you my praises from morning to night!"</span><br /><br />May it be so, Lord Jesus!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Dave<br /><br /></span></span>Dave Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679792318740188530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923212542518756631.post-79733829584057854362009-12-07T06:55:00.003-05:002009-12-07T07:14:29.905-05:00It's Monday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3FWqDkPf5Y-JZNeFN6xTzQyeOfShiNoeR_rAJQtkodOKTcOsFy2-ZoEQnpz_auM4_2zfYogV6IjtgS6S-6aLHnvlmmkNiEpAi56eiIFUOQnkvCS_gnhDBm5MNO-4MYUeoupp84S4vMKc/s1600-h/business+card+logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3FWqDkPf5Y-JZNeFN6xTzQyeOfShiNoeR_rAJQtkodOKTcOsFy2-ZoEQnpz_auM4_2zfYogV6IjtgS6S-6aLHnvlmmkNiEpAi56eiIFUOQnkvCS_gnhDBm5MNO-4MYUeoupp84S4vMKc/s200/business+card+logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412461730941719506" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Good morning Team,<br />A special time yesterday as we gathered to worship the King. As you know, I'm all about preparation and rehearsal. While these are essential elements in our worship arts program, they don't replace the power of the Holy Spirit leading us. It was a good morning!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Tonight...6:30pm - 8:00pm</span>... The Owego Naz Worship Choir will rehearse for Rejoice!

A cookie and coffee reception will follow in The Gathering Place.<br /><br />I want to remind you about the power of a personal invitation. No amount of advertising is as effective in getting people to attend an event as a personal invitation. When you invite a friend, neighbor, co-worker...anyone, that invitation says, "You are important enough to me to get a personal invitation." Think now...who can you invite to our musical on Friday or Sunday? Send an email, text, phone call, or verbal invite right now to those you care about. The message of Christmas is life changing!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Dave<br /></span></span>Dave Barneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16679792318740188530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923212542518756631.post-29610375163291533962009-11-23T06:13:00.004-05:002009-11-23T07:49:13.222-05:00It's Monday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5V67greLm_HZ7oekJKOTBT_FPxa9oTMK8sT41bzi-hQLX-mvnDQEfCc2T8Klf1mkvpVk0noTCLWXVMw4-cUHuTkBewCZYEQSh_U9GeZ6dMmXjBakT492iHIWG-saZFjlanbcFIP8Tw94/s1600/business+card+logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5V67greLm_HZ7oekJKOTBT_FPxa9oTMK8sT41bzi-hQLX-mvnDQEfCc2T8Klf1mkvpVk0noTCLWXVMw4-cUHuTkBewCZYEQSh_U9GeZ6dMmXjBakT492iHIWG-saZFjlanbcFIP8Tw94/s200/business+card+logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407255790282977090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Good morning Team,<br />I'm so looking forward to this week. Thanksgiving has always been a special time for our family and I suppose most families because it is a time when scattered kids gather together. It seems that our busy and structured schedules force us to use these planned holiday times to meet up with our parents and siblings and spend time together. Now, men and women look at these gathering times quite differently. Men tend to spend time just being together. This can be accomplished very well watching football or playing Wii. Conversation is of minimal importance. Women on the other hand, don't understand this male thing. They want to TALK! Sitting around chatting is all that is necessary for a wonderful time. Now, I'm not saying that's not perfectly fine to do...just don't expect us do it.<br /><br />Well, now that I have gotten myself into some deep weeds, lets talk about what's ahead. We have 3 critical rehearsals before our Christmas musical, Rejoice! I need everyone to make a special effort to be at them all:<br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 6:15pm</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family: verdana;">Saturday, Dec. 5 at 10am</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wednesday, Dec 9 at 6:15pm</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">last Wednesday I gave a cool gift out to those present.

ONWC... your contribution of "Our God Saves" lifted me and inspired the congregation...WTG! The hymns in the first service were spot on as Pastor Dennis unraveled the mystery of the Trinity.

We sat in the balcony...we didn't get there in time to sit on the main floor! The reconverted theatre main sanctuary seats 3200 and it was full at the noon service.

Then we have to show that love through our actions of helping those in need. It's awesome when we realize that God's word for us in Owego matches up with what's being preached in Brooklyn and around the world. We truly serve the God on the universe.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm looking forward to rehearsal Wednesday night!
