In Case You Missed It

He was here and gone in a flash, but I can’t thank Shaun Groves enough for sacrificing his own time to come visit us at NewSong yesterday. And for giving us a fresh vision of the “Good News.”

And the 37 saved lives thank you as well.

Compassion Bloggers

You might you remember me covering a few bloggers who went to Uganda recently to blog for Compassion International. Well that was just the beginning of Compassion’s initiative to equip bloggers to spread the word about Compassion’s ministry to children in the developing world. Just recently they launched CompassionBloggers.com.

CompassionBloggers.com, the on-line headquarters for this groundbreaking initiative, has launched! Here, bloggers can apply to go on the next Compassion Bloggers trip where they’ll see the work of Compassion for themselves up close. Bloggers can also grab banners, widgets and other tools for spreading the word about Compassion on their own corner of the web. And anyone can come here to see the latest pictures, videos and posts from Compassion’s roster of bloggers

I know Shaun, along with others, have been working hard to get this up and running. Dive on in and see what they’re doing, and what you can do to help.

Shaun Groves @ NewSong

If you’re in the neighborhood (Tecumseh, Michigan), why don’t you stop by and see Christian recording artist Shaun Groves as he leads worship at NewSong Community Church on June 8, 2008 @ 10:30am.

“Shaun Groves defies typical expectations and simple labels. He is an insightful songwriter, one who displays such incredible lyrical prowess that his musical peers nominated him for Songwriter of the Year solely on the strength of his 2001 debut.”

Here is a video of Shaun performing his hit Welcome Home.

Here is a video of Shaun talking about the Good News.
