You Still Out There?!

Just making sure you are still listening!  Anyway, we have been doing some awesome things here at PCI if you haven’t noticed.  This past Saturday, some of us went up to Biola University for a day of training in God’s Word.  We talked about when “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).  Not only that, but we took some awesome pictures with the Jesus Mural (more pictures to be posted soon)!

Here are some things to get excited about:

• Our new series: Rooted, Growing, Serving, Sowing
• Guys’ Discipleship Group (Tuesdays 6pm-8pm @ Subway on Michaelson and Culver)
• Pumpkin Patch (Friday October 24th- WEAR COSTUMES!!!)
• All-Nighter in November!!!

I hope you all have a great week!

Is There Any Good Music Out There?

So you turn on the radio to find some good music.  On the first station, you hear a bunch of words that are jumbled together and too fast to understand… plus half of the words are censored out.  The second station is the same annoying girl who’s voice is distorted and looped over and over again… “I wanna party all night” are the only lyrics.  Finally you turn the dial over to the Christian radio station, but don’t feel like you can listen to more “church music.”  

Is there any good music out there?

So many Christians struggle with this question because they don’t want to only listen to worship music 24/7 and they’re not too sure that KIIS FM plays the most God-glorifying tunes.  Since it is so hard to find good music (both musically and lyrically), some of the youth leaders brainstormed in the latest podcast about the best good music out there that is not necessarily worship and doesn’t give out bad messages.  Here are some of those artists:

1. Switchfoot
2. U2
3. Jon Foreman
4. Brooke Fraser
5. Sufjan Stevens
6. Eisley
7. Brett Dennen
8. Coldplay

Check out these artists on iTunes.  If you have any other recommendations or favorites, please post a comment!

God’s Extreme Makeover

 

Join us for a 4-week Wednesday night series on God’s Extreme Makeover: Being Attractive Without Having to Look Good.  We will discuss the picture, the problem, and the plan of being attractive.
