The worship leaders here at Central get asked quite a bit about where to find the music we play on the weekends. Well….here’s our “go to” list right now. Of course, this isn’t our whole 2012 library but it should give you a fair dose of great worship music to play at home or in the car.  I have also included the new song we have been singing the last few weeks called “Glory to God” by Fee. If you click the link below it should fire right up for you to give it a listen. To listen to or purchase the other songs listed below you can go to iTunes or any other music retailer to add them to your collection!

I’m not much of a reader.  I try to read more, I would like to read more, but it’s rare that I can go more than twenty or thirty minutes without falling asleep- and that’s with a good book.  However, I have been trying to push myself to read as much as I can, especially since I keep hearing, “leaders are readers…”

More Unique Than You Think

To say that I get flack over my Kentucky accent would be a huge under statement. Occasionally someone will ask if it bothers me…..absolutely not. I take pride in my Kentucky accent, and it doesn’t hurt that the Kentucky Wildcats won the 2012 NCAA National Title this year…wooooohoooooo. Sorry, I digress. My southern draw actually makes me a little unique out here in the desert. I believe most of us like the idea of being unique….. being true to who we are. You might just be more unique than you think. Let me share a thought with you:

In Honor of Mom

Jeremy Jernigan – Pastor of Worship Arts

This weekend we celebrated Mother’s Day at Central! As a church, we believe that it is important to remember everything that our mothers have done in our lives and to be grateful for that. Especially as our world is changing quickly around us, we wanted to take time to point to the fact that there are four aspects of motherhood that all of us can learn from that won’t change such as the emphasis on relationship, the sense of selflessness, and perseverance.

Verses and quotes included:

Are you famous?

Jaime Geideman – Worship Leader

My kids have been obsessed with the thought of people being famous and to what degree! My daughter is 6 and my son is 8 years old and the thought of being known worldwide is super impressive.  When they hear someone on the radio or when they see someone on the television, they always ask, ”Mommy are they famous?”

When I reply with “Yes,” they respond with “How Famous?” At this point, I have to give degrees of fame; not really, kinda/sorta, REALLY, etc.  What you don’t know is that my kids are partly obsessed with the thought of fame because they very much aspire for their Mother to be famous and to the greatest degree

A Tad Cliché

Kevin Larter – Junior High Pastor – Gilbert

There are two cliché phrases that have recently become very real to me. The first of these two phrases I began hating immediately after I first heard it. When I was in high school I attended summer camp every year with my church. The only thing I didn’t love about this camp was how they used to draaaaaaaaag out announcing the winners of team competition every day. A task that could easily take 30 seconds would last 20 minutes. And each and every time the crowd would groan, the camp counselors would mockingly—in reality it was more playfully than mockingly, but I’m going to go with my more bitter revisionist history—say in a sing-song way, “Patience…is…a…virtue.” Yuck.
