Changes in 2008

Just about everyone re-evaluates when a new year rolls around.  So, the next couple of posts will be some coming alterations in 2008 for both the TBC worship arts ministry as well as me personally.  Stay tuned.  Once it's out in the public - it's kinda like committing yourself.

Christmas Report #22: 4,000+ Came to Light Show

A quick estimate of 4,000+ came to TBC's three night light show.  Average of 100 cars X 15 shows X average of 3 people a car gives you 4,500 people.  However, some had to be repeats...so it's more like 4,000.
