I recently had the privilege to do some design work for my friends, Wisdom and Ben, at the All about Worship Podcast. They contacted me about a new retreat/conference they were putting together and I wanted to tell my readers about it.

It’s called the “All About Worship Retreat“.

“All About Worship Retreat is a place where worship leaders and pastors can come together for a time of spiritual renewal, building genuine friendships and engaging in intimate worship sessions led by notable worship leaders.

All About Worship Retreat 2010 will take place May 20 – 22 at Grace Church in Overland Park, KS.

Engage in worship, prayer, and authentic conversations in an intimate setting with fellow worship leaders and artists like Tommy Walker, Jared Anderson, Darrell Evans, Dwayne Moore, and many others.”

I am personally going to attempt to go. I think this retreat will be set up a bit more intimate than your typical conference. If you can make it I encourage you to go.

You haven’t heard about Carlos Whittaker? You either enjoy sleeping under a rock or you are never on the internet. Carlos (LOS, alias @LOSWHIT) is a social media ninja and some may say the Christian “blog father”. He is a creative genius who has worked in many large churches and helps other creatives to tap into their potential for Christ. He is also a worship leader signed by “Integrity Records.
His new EP seen below is available on i-tunes now for as little as $1.98 for 3 songs! Honestly you can’t beat that price. Take a listen to one of the track below and make sure you check out the rest of the blog tour as well.

1.  “Jesus Saves” (hear it on FredMcKinnon.Com)
2.  “Rain It Down” (hear right now…here at Klampert.Com)
3.  “We Will Worship” (hear it Thursdays, Jan 28 over at ChrisFromCanada.Com)

There’s a storm coming in the distance

Some will run to it and some will resist it

Our eyes will turn to the sky

With desert hearts looking to the heavens

Desperate for your Holy fountain

Our eyes will turn to the sky

Rain down on us
Father

Rain down on us

Spirit
Rain down on us
Jesus
Rain down on us

There’s nothing like your healing water
Pour it out on Your sons and daughters

Our eyes are lifted high

We are here and we are waiting
Flood our hearts til their overflowing

Our hands are lifted high

Come Lord we’re thirsty now

Come Lord and rain it down
Come Lord we’re thirsty now
Come Lord and rain it down

Below is my new favorite song. It’s from John Mark McMillan (writer of How He Loves).
I can’t wait to do this one in a church service.

It has been a while since i have done one of these, but I am starting to get a real vision for where worship in our church is headed.
I am by no means an amazing worship leader, but I am making sure that I continue to move where the Lord is leading.

A note about last week; I did the hymn “what wondrous love is this” arrangement by red letter from Mars Hill. Let me tell you this Hymn is SO great. I can’t wait to do it again.

This weeks set was fantastic. The last song hoever, “we want to see jesus lifed high” is now officially retired as of this week. i pulled it off the shelf and blew the dust off it this week, but it seems it still belongs in the file bin.

I sing the might power of God – Isaac Watts/Ex Nihilo arrangement
