Comments on: A Tale of Two Conferences http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/04/a-tale-of-two-conferences/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:13:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jeremy Damato http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/04/a-tale-of-two-conferences/#comment-7334 Jeremy Damato Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:15:35 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/04/a-tale-of-two-conferences/#comment-7334 Bob, I thank God for the amazing times of worship during t4g this past week. I wasn't able to go two years ago but everyone from our group who did go was very pleased that worship was kept as part of the conference this year. And we were all glad that Mark Dever expressed those same feelings in his intro to the conference. Again- thank you and praise God!! Anyway- I noticed that "O the Deep, Deep Love" was not on "Valley of Vision". Any plans to have that version of the song on a future recording? Also, can you post your added verse(s) to "Come Thou Fount" (if possible)? Jeremy Damato Reverence Bible Church So. California Bob,

It was absolutely glorious! One question - the rendition of "I Will Arise" was one I hadn't heard before, and I think I saw that it was one of yours. Have you (or anyone else) recorded that version?

Thanks to you and for all the godly men of T4G.

I am presently organizing a youth service for my church and in the process many talents have been discovered in terms on musicians and singers within the youth group at our church. Many of the songs we will be singing are more upbeat than what the congregation is used to and one of my concerns was that our music wouldn't be as appreciated because of our use of drums and electric guitars. After much prayer God has convinced me that there are times for the use of such talents and that a youth service is a wonderful time, I wanted to thank you for really clearing up the fact that there are different styles of worship for different occasions but that they can both worship Christ. Although I will not be able to attend either conferences I will pray that God bless all the people attending and involved. I pray that people from here(Quebec) will be able to attend.

As one who enjoys and implements guitars and drums while singing to the Lord, I look forward to gathering with many pastors and leaders and lifting our voices together in response to our great God- even if there will just be a piano accompanying us. :) Aaron Campbell I’m grateful that I’ll be attending my first T4G conference next week.

But anyways, I'll be praying for the recording of the worship, but also for you because you really need to lead all these people in the right way. You seem to be on the right track and I'm very excited for everyone that will be there. I'm also encouraging people from Québec to attend, if you could pray on your part for that. It would be great. Continue looking at the cross Bob!

I wish I could come, but taking a week off of college is hard...not to mention college students don't have much money anyway! Also, I don't know about the rest of the readers, but I think it would be great to post non-mixed/mastered mp3s on your website of the congregational singing. While I love professionally done CDs I love congregational singing most. Especially when the congregation is not using drums and electric guitars :) Bob, as one of your “conservative readers,” I am glad to hear you are holding off on the drums and electric guitars for T4G.

Don't know if we'll get anything usable or not. Please pray that we do! Jamie,

God used several of the songs in the past 2 years in very specific ways that I'm still reaping the benefits from. I have on my iPod, a playlist of the worship times still from both conferences and listen to them often. I am looking forward to worshipping together with you in May and possibly at WG08 as well.
