Last weekend, I went back to Karl Road Baptist Church here in Columbus to guest lead their worship services while their music director, Karen, was on vacation. She’s a friend of mine, so it’s fun to be able to help her out, but the more time I spend at this church, the more impressed I am. They have such a vision for ministry right to their own neighborhood and to the city!
And, in case you’ve been under a rock and haven’t noticed, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is sweeping the nation! My dad, Dave Chilcoat, died from ALS almost exactly 8 years ago, so needless to say our family has been dramatically impacted by this terrible disease. So many people dedicated their challenge to my dad, and it has been so sweet! We really appreciate it more than we can say, and are just so excited to see this disease get some awareness and some funding! They still don’t even know what causes it, let alone how to cure it, and we don’t want another family to go through what we went through. We had so many people challenge us that our whole family just did it all together. If you want to see the video, you’ll find it on my facebook page.
