Really interesting stuff about what is talked about in between the songs on Christian radio
Paul Butler @ Moody Radio:
There are thousands of radio stations across the country today which play Christian music. A recent study looked at Christian Music Radio to determine what sets it apart from its mainstream counterpart. But the study didn’t look at the music itself, but what was said between the songs—and what they found may surprise you.
Guests include Mark Seignious, Associate Professor of Electronic Media Communication at Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN and Ripley Smith, Professor of Communication at Bethel University, also in St. Paul.

If you haven’t heard yet, this tragedy happened last Thursday at an apartment complex our church is just beginning to serve.
We have done a neighborhood party for these apartments as well as beginning the process of repairing and providing some more recreational opportunities for the children. Pray that God would give us wisdom and love to see what Passage Church can do in the wake of this terrible situation.

We officially launched the new vision of Passage Church yesterday at Lakota West Freshman School. The vision is:
Helping People Trust Jesus and His Church
This vision is a rallying cry for our church to take responsibilty for the people who do not trust Jesus or the church and see that the church does indeed have treasure — not people, not programs, not facilities, but the good news about Jesus and what He has done.
