.bE
April 21, 2004
We put on .bE last night in a beautiful facility (see more photos below), the Eighth Street Center in Buhl, ID. It’s always interesting to see who comes to .bE….and who doesn’t. I really don’t know how to advertise .bE any more. For this time, I limited myself to 15 churches in Buhl and the [...]

.bE @ ICYC
March 22, 2004
Last Saturday evening, I stood before 550 Catholic students from all over the state of Idaho and encouraged them to come by .bE, which we had been setting up for the previous 3 hours. We had somewhere between 40-60 students come and pray through .bE - many wonderful comments from people about how much the [...]

Know Lingo vs. No Lingo
March 19, 2004
In the comments on my Ultra Contemporary Post, Rachelle writes: It’s interesting to me that the same words keep coming up to describe PoMo/Emerging type services. Well Rachelle, it’s interesting to me that the same words keep coming up to describe PoMo/Emerging ANYTHING - the stuff, the experience, the stories [I mentioned this before in [...]

Officium & My Mom
March 5, 2004
I’m loving my mother right about now. One Christmas in high school, I got this CD from my mom called Officium (put together by Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek) - we put it in the CD player, and my dad and I were like…”Grreat. Monks and saxophone….”
I listened to it on and off, but kept [...]

What is…
March 1, 2004
One of the stations we’ve been doing at .bE is called the “What is…” Station. Basically just a bunch of sheets on the ground with words on them [e.g. what is grace, love, life, beauty, truth] and people write their thoughts down on the sheets. We’ve received some pretty interesting responses and I wanted to [...]

.bE @ Whitworth | Vol 2
February 23, 2004
Some have been asking what .bE was like at Whitworth. We used the entire sanctuary of the Chapel [hopefully I will have some photos up soon in an album]. We incorporated some student art into one corner with the rest of the art stations. Brought in a few new stations (thanks to some of the [...]

.bE @ Whitworth
February 20, 2004
Enjoying a great time up in Spokane with friends. The ride from Wendell to Spokane with the 4×8 U-Haul trailer went fine [once I got the ball hitch, does everyone know you need a ball to pull a trailer...?].
.bE went really well last night. We tweaked the service around a bit, and it seemed to [...]

Encountering the Mystery of Advent
December 8, 2003
I always love hearing about what others are doing to help create new worship experiences for people seeking after God. Last week I told you a little about Wicker Park Grace and what Nanette S. is doing out in Wicker Park, in Chicago. They have been holding Sunday evening services during Advent this year, and [...]

Small Town alt.worship Breeds Ecumenism
November 8, 2003
Something I was just thinking about as I was driving through the dairies and fields of Wendell today. How can churches in rural, small towns build unity? When we invite other churches to our events, the other church can react with questions (why are they “really” inviting us?), fear (what happens if we end up [...]
