Now batting for Healing Flow....

Pinch hitting for Frances on the drums, Ron Balthazor

But first, your Sunday Worship Recap

Everlasting God by Brenton Brown Our first time with this one at Walk on Water. The song has been around for a while (2004) but that is good, considering we had no video this morning. There were a lot of people who were familiar with this one.

Psalm 5 by Healing Flow This song has a nice feel to it and will be complete when we put some horns in there.

Grace Flow Down by Chris Tomlin Cathy Roesch leads this and Hannah (her daughter) sings beautiful harmony. The rest of us just try to stay out of their way. I looked over at Daniel toward the end of the song and gave him the green light. He flowed into People Get Ready,

which the people just loved.

God of This City also by Chris Tomlin. I've been wanting to do this for a while and the timing was right for this week.

The real treat for me this week (other than the wonderful presence of God, of course) was having my brother Ron play with us. Frances was a little under the weather so I called on my little brother to cover for her. He is a great drummer and always brings a fresh perspective to the music.

Ron was living for Jesus when I was still a heathen, and his playing drums for the Lord was what drew me to a place where the Lord could touch my life. We had the privilege of traveling with the Contemporary Christian Band Visions in the late 70's where I met Frances and the rest is, you know, history.

Sunday Worship Recap

Healing Flow at Walk on Water Church, Athens, Georgia

Great day of worship as the Lord showed up and showed out. We really enjoyed the Presence of the Lord and a great message by Pastor Cindy Hardy from Lighthouse Church in Monroe. We were all challenged to take off our masks and be real.

Set list this week

Breath of God by Healing Flow This song is a breath prayer, in an uptempo latin style. It was cooking along quite well until I broke a D string toward the end. Oh well, that's why I always carry an extra guitar on stage!

You Never Let Go by Matt Redman. I really enjoy this one, and it works well for us. We open it up unplugged, with acoustic guitar and djembe and build from there. Whom then shall I fear? First time with Hannah and Cathy singing back up.

None but Jesus by Hillsongs. Cathy leads this and does a fantastic job.

How He Loves by John Mark McMillen We do it full on, sloppy wet kiss and all. Kind of a mix of the Kim Walker arrangement as Hannah Roesch does the first verse and Daniel does the second. I knew this was going to be hot today as we had people entering in during the sound check this morning. The speaker said this was her new favorite worship tune and had us repeat it during the altar call later on.

Press In by Healing Flow. I wrote the lyrics and Daniel wrote the music on this. Actually, I wrote the song one way and Daniel changed it to what it is today. I like it Daniels way and he leads this.

Overall a great day at Walk on Water Church. Thank you Lord, all the Glory, Honor and Praise belongs to You!

Doin' the Lord's Work on Spring Break

I've always said that the Gospels talk a lot more about the lake than they do the church. Yesterday was the shakedown cruise for the family boat and for the 3rd year in a row (yea!!!!) everything went smoothly. The refitting that we did two springs ago was the best investment we have made (boatwise) since we bought this little pontoon. As our Wednesday night got postponed to Thursday, we went on the spur of the moment and had a good time. Cruised the Little River section of Lake Lanier, and did a little bass fishing. Beautiful night on the lake, with cool temps and not too much wind. The big bass were flipping and flopping, some coming completely out of the water, so we concentrated on top water and shallow running baits. Nothing ended up in the boat, but one did take my lure into the trees and broke off (yes, I set the hook, I know she was there) and got my heart pumping. Daniel went and does a wonderful job captaining the ship, and driving on and off the trailer which means the old man doesn't have to get too wet when the water temp is only around 70. A good night and a good time and we hope to go again before break is over.

Peter, James and John were pros. These days they would be Bassmasters or on Dangerous Catch, so we know that fishermen hold a soft spot in the Lord's heart. Getting out and enjoying God's creation is always good, and good family time is precious. Next time, though, we put some of those bad boys in the boat with us.

Time spent fishing does not count against you, I have always felt.

In the flow,

Jack

Easter Sunday

What a glorious day! Beautiful weather, great service, Family time with my kids and my grandson, food everywhere, what more could any man ask for? Fishing, you say? That will surely come, young grasshopper, as I am officially on Spring Break this week. The boat is cleaned up and pointed out of the yard, and it looks promising for several days this week.

Easter Sunday morning at Walk on Water World Outreach Church

The Healing Flow Set list:

Praise Your Name by Healing Flow Our newest creation, rocks out pretty good with a straight ahead 60's bridge.

Jesus Messiah yep, we do it, no frills, just laying it out there. My son Daniel sings lead and the harmonies right now are pretty dad gum fine.

The Wonderful Cross by Chris Tomlin We had not done this in a couple of years but it works out great, with three different lead singers and a tasteful, unplugged feel at the end

At the Cross by Hillsongs My first time with this one, but Cathy Roesch (former Worship leader at Community Church) and her daughter Hannah (Daniel's girlfriend) really do this song well. I love the bridge..."You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done"

Walk on Water church is a homeless mission with a ministry to the street people of Athens, Georgia. It is Pastored by Perry and Angie Burgess and we are honored to serve with them whenever we can.
