I have always wondered what would happen if the Daily News ever had a category for “Best Place to Worship” in their annual poll for Los Angeles. For some reason it had never been one of the questions listed. Well, for the first time ever they asked that question for 2011 and look what church came in on the top of the list? Drum roll…………… The 2011 Readers Best Choice for Best Place to Worship is SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS CHURCH. Results will be shown in the August 26th edition of the Daily News.
Just want to thank Michael, Leyla, Christine, Nikko, Charlotte and John for using their talents week after week in leading our church in worship. Also Maxi and Susanne and all the musicians and praise team members, the choirs and all the volunteers. Also the light and sound team. I want to thank all the members who show up each week prepared to sing and worship with all their hearts.
And we are MOST GRATEFUL for the LORD ON HIGH is who MOST WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
Why not join us this week as we lift our voices, hearts and hands to the Lord God Almighty!
We were recently blessed to have Philip Webb come sing at our church. He’s a gifted man of God, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to hear him sing if you missed him! To learn more about Phil, you can check out his website at http://www.philipwebbsings.com/
This aired on American Idol last Wednesday, as the closing song and the very next day as the opening song. Reportedly, 17.5 MILLION viewers tuned in to watch the show last week and got to see and hear this beautiful song about our Lord!
Can you guess WHO is WHO??? Thee Original Michael North. Dudley South. Casey May, Pee Wee, Steve Syatt, Danny Furukawa and Marty Collins… Our worship Pastor, Michael North, is getting married in just a few days… 🙂 Recently, a few of his friends surprised him with a night out for dinner. We had all arrived early, and Michael’s fiance brought him to Black Angus for some alone time, yet Michael didn’t know what awaited him. Marty Collins had made some Michael North masks, and when he came around the corner, he saw a group of people in the corner booth all singing, “Set the Stage for a Miracle.”
I was laughing so hard that it was hard to sing….. ahahahahahahahaahah
But then we all lowered our masks and had a wonderful evening sharing stories and advice with Michael on marriage and life.
I want to thank Michael for his gift of leading our church in corporate worship. My prayer for him and his future bride is that God would bless him beyond his wildest imaginations. Michael, YOU are a dear friend, and I consider it an honor to work with you side by side in ministry here at Shepherd of the Hills Church.
