Good Morning

Where did November go? I'll bet I'm not the only one back to work today after time away...in my case enjoying a wonderful week at Lake Tahoe, where it snowed (pictures here) and kept us housebound one day (I spent much of the day listening to the Reverence channel, of course...), but, other than that the weather was glorious. The only downer of the week? The Saskatchewan Roughriders lost the Grey Cup on the last play of the game due to a stupid penalty. (That's the Super Bowl of the Canadian Football League for those who were wondering...)

I hope you have visited the new Creator Leadership Network site, which features 24/7 streaming audio content expressly designed just for you...so tune in and let us help you do ministry better. We've added two new programs this week: Got tech or media issues? Listen to Creator Tech Talk with Wade Odum on Mondays at 4pm (all times Pacific). Need a little "best medicine?" Listen to Just Pure Laughs for an hour of clean comdey hosted by Dan McGowan on Tuesdays at noon.

A reminder about the player: First, the initial time you use it, you may need to "refresh" (F5 key) once in order to get the audio. You'll know you will get the audio if you see the colored buttons (green for play, red for stop, and brown for mute...plus the two purple buttons which control the volume...). There is no need to hit the play button in most cases, the audio will start automatically once the player completely loads. Second, if you use a mac, you may need to download one or more programs: Silverlight (for the player) and Firefox (the preferred browser). Look for links to download these free programs on the home page and programs page.

Remember...just click the Reverence Channel graphic on the new website to hear the audio stream.

Here's this week's scheduled programs (all times Pacific), starting with today's programming:

Fred Bock Music Hour - Monday, 1:00 PM

I know that we're now in the crunch of the Christmas season...so let's get right to this week's Monday Morning Email...

• This week we dip into the Creator Knowledge Vault as Judy Hunnicutt prepares you for the lenten season by detailing A Service of Lessons and Music for Easter. Judy includes specific music, which has stood the test of time to fit into a service such as this. To read this week's MME, just click here

Finally...

This week, listen to the programs on the Reverence Channel while you begin to think about lent...and please tell your friends and colleagues about Creatorand MME too
