NOTE FROM PASTOR DENNIS GILL: The Music Department Retreat at Crosswinds was a fun and refreshing time for all who attended. Our guest, Todd Braschler, did a superb job of giving us a fresh new perspective on WHY we do what we do each and every week as we minister to people through music. I came away from this year's retreat more convinced than ever that this event has the potential of being one of the most valuable and eagerly anticipated activities of our entire year. The location and facilities are gorgeous, the teaching was powerful and the fellowship was sweet. If you couldn't go this year, plan on prioritizing the retreat next year! Characteristics of a Tile- Mover: I. Tile-Movers respond with the heart and passion of God to the needs of others. They are DISCERNING and GENEROUS. 2. Tile-Movers see serving and sacrificing for others as an element of their own personal growth. They are PASSIONATE LEARNERS. 3. Tile-Movers give up something they love for something they love more. They have PRIORITIZED DESIRES." Our ministry is to place people at the feet of Jesus. Lord, may our hearts be aligned with Yours so that we allow You to accomplish what only You can do.

Dear Todd, In Christ, Barb Miller
| The Call of a Tile-Mover is a unique seminar that opens the door for a deeper discussion about worship and music in the church. We have enough how-to conferences. This conference focuses more on who, what and why we are worshipping in the church. I was full of expectation for myself and our people at Meadow Park Church when Todd came to lead us in this weekend of thinking and stretching in our ideas about what we are called to be and do, to lead others to Christ and the worship of Him. I and those who participated in the weekend experience were reminded and challenged to think of worship in different ways. I appreciate the unique ministry that Todd brings to the church. His enthusiastic spirit and caring spirit shines through in his teaching and leading in worship. It was a great joy to have him lead our congregation through this weekend worship experience. Tim Julian Description Music and worship are definitely created by God and intended to bring people to the throne of God, the very feet of Jesus. However, even though our motion and action seem to lead us into worship, we sometimes find ourselves having less than the desired impact in our churches. Regardless of the quality of music, the excellence of preparation, and the available gifts of our musicians, we sometimes fall short of the final and most powerful element of life-changing worship - the power of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of God is the one element in worship we cannot do without. We may be able to survive with less than quality instruments, or slides rather than power point. We may experience a wonderful morning with a well-prepared worship team and our best soloist. However, the purest experience in worship occurs when God sees our passion, our heart, our intent and our motivation, and pours His anointing, His Spirit into everything we say and sing. When important elements in the preparation, attitude and leading of worship are truly aligned with the passion and heart of God, it seems the power and anointing of God is endless in a service. What are the signs that perhaps all our preparation and hard work may miss the anointing and blessing of God as a worship ministry or in a worship service?

This retreat was offered at the International Convention of the Church of God in Anderson ,IN on Hello again, Todd I can't tell you how "high" I felt after this past weekend! My husband and I went to lunch afterward, and I said "I am so full right now".....Since we hadn't eaten, he questioned "of what?" I had to laugh, then said. "I'm just so-o-o full of worship, I could explode!!" You brought to us such a wonderful time, and you are a brilliantly anointed vocalist and leader. I found the weekend to be a very RICH experience. I appreciate the application to our lives and homes, as well as in our worship settings. God knew HIS AWESOME WORK could be completed through you and your ministry. Thank you for your obedience to His call...... May God continue
to grow us all in his mighty plan, on this incredible journey........Man do I love the adventure...........

I was so encouraged by you and our team. Thanks for all of your kind words and I look forward to fleshing out some of your teaching with our team over the next weeks and months. I can’t wait to see the responses you will be sending back to me. I have included my evaluation. The way you customized the weekend for us was brilliant.
