This retreat was offered at the International Convention of the Church of God in Anderson ,IN on Todd, Again, wonderful having you at Bayside this weekend. It was very enriching, thought provoking, and insightful. I appreciate your heart for ministry, leadership development, visioning, and investing in our team. This weekend was everything I had hoped for and more. I am already hearing wonderful reports from our team. I will let you know of any developments over the next few days and weeks. 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. We really enjoyed following your worship leadership. It was a real treat for me to follow along with the team. Thanks for making everything great and I will spread the word. God bless, Pastor Shawn Viars (September 2007)

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?
Details Schedule - (Adaptable to most any situation) This conference can be used as either a weekend retreat or a one-day event.
Worship Participation Todd often will work together with a choir or worship team to share in worship on the following Sunday. A worship team can be very involved if there is a desire and a team willing and capable to prepare ahead of time. Whether as a portion of a service, or in a full concert, it is our desire to involve those from a local congregation in the weekend as much as possible. Cost: The retreat and conference have a stipend based on the size of church and number of participants. This is negotiable depending on the situation. Lodging/travel to and from Wichita, KS are in addition to this stipend. Worship participation/concerts are for the most part by love offering. Sunday evening schedules require a set minimum. Contact Todd directly for more details and schedule information.

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.
