Hi friends!

Hope you had a brilliant weekend…

I played in Cost Mesa CA last night. Photos below! But before you look at them I have a new Blog to recommend to you….

My friend Wendy from Eastbourne in England has started blogging! I’ve been hoping she would for a while now as she has some really cool stuff to say.. Her new blog (which I built myself…da.da.daaaah!) is now LIVE! (thanks to Jonathan Paul for help with the icons and some troubleshooting)

Go see Wendy’s new site “Turn Up The Contrast” HERE!

Her latest entry is about practicing ‘random acts of kindness’… The one before that is about when she and I went to a Tattoo parlor and I played Coldplay’s “Fix You” and God’s presence really showed up. Exciting times!

Here are the pics from last night in Costa Mesa, CA:

Great lighting, guys!

Ok, check out Beejay singing some SERIOUS vocals there!!!!! (now THAT is what I call a VOICE!)

I’m working on the new ‘theological debate’ question… so that’ll appear on here soon!

Go check out Wendy’s blog and leave her a comment to welcome her to the Blogosphere : -)

And in the Comments section today, leave me your Blog address and your name…. then I can check out what you guys are writing! Lets grow this Blog community wider and wider!

Love,

Vicky

Thanks for all the emails and encouragement! Maybe I’ll try writing a few more!

Ok… so it’s time for another one of our big theological conversations here on my Blog… the question is… WHAT do you want to discuss this time? We’ve dealt with some heavy topics – women in ministry, predestination, once saved always saved…so what’s next? Place your votes and I’ll kick off a topic on Monday!

Vicky Writes a Kids Worship Song!

– April 23, 2009Posted in:

Hey!

Last week in England at Spring Harvest, we started each morning of the conference with All Age Worship. I have never really led any kids worship, so I was a bit daunted…but I decided to try writing a kid’s song…just to really give it my best shot!

So on the back of a napkin, high in the sky on my United Airlines flight from LA to London Heathrow, I jotted down the lyrics and melody to “Jesus Is My Best Friend”… We ended up singing it every morning and it became something of a theme song to the week…how funny. (I was actually really excited about how much people liked it, as I’d been pretty shy about teaching it to the band and crowd as it was somewhat outside my usual comfort zone – I’ve never led a song with “actions” before!)

My friend Wendy Beech-Ward chipped in with a third verse, so she has now become a kid’s songwriter too! (She is starting a blog, so watch this space to find out when it launches…she has a lot of quality stuff to say and I know you are going to love reading it….)

Here is a version of the song with me teaching the actions!

Someone has even made their own YouTube version of it already…. Check it out:

The chord charts is below, as a lot of people have emailed me since the event, asking for the chords…

Question – Any kids worship leaders reading this Blog? Who are you and where do you lead worship? If you fancy trying this song out, let me know how it goes!

Love,
Vicky
