I come from Moulton AL. My family is trying to learn all we can about worship so that we can do it well. So very much about John and the Vineyard has proven helpful. Thanks for your help. I believe that a move of God is coming in our small (less than 100)church. Knowing what traps to avoid helps. We love you all. We hope to be a blessing in years to come. Thanks.

Dear Carl, John led my husband and I to the Lord when he was still at Yorba Linda Friends. We were very good friends with he and Carol, Richard and Candy, Bob and Penny and the group. We were the very first couple married in the new church. John was a one man show at our wedding. He performed the ceremony, played the piano, the organ and sang. The only thing he didn't do was sign the marriage certificate, that was Barney's job. 40 years later, we are trying to see if there is a tape or CD of John singing that we can get a copy of. He sang Jesus is the Answer at our wedding and my nephew taped over it. If you can be of any help please call me at 951-760-6535, or e-mail me at judisellers@ymail.com Thank you very much

I was very excited to read your column. I was transported back to canyon high school 1984. The worship was alway such an experience. I remember one time John telling us with our eyes closed to picture ourselves at the foot of Gods throne. What a blessing.
I have been trying to get a hold of the old brown label live worship cassettes. I miss the old school vineyard worship. The music that you , John and Eddie wrote was and still are such blessings. If you know where i can find any of the old cassettes i would be very happy. The new worship cds are ok, but there is nothing like vineyards old school worship.

I think there is something to be said for simplicity. That said, I would contend that what Andy Park had going on this weekend was out of reach of most of us, but it had 'oil' on it that's for certain! The whole thing is bigger, broader and deeper than any one of us can get our mind around, that's for sure.

Thanks so much for your thoughts on the "early years." During our time at Canyon High School, we were swept up and embraced by God Himself. That was on a more ethereal level. In THIS realm, what you and Eddie and John did was to set in place the spiritual "tuning fork" that would be the plumb line by which all Vineyard worship (in my opinion) would be measured: simple, humble, intimate, reproducible. It seems to me that, through the years, the closer the songs stayed to those crosshairs (to mix too many metaphors), the more on target they were. I don't know if you remember me coming up to you during a conference at Anaheim (sometime during the mid-late 80's while we were still in Arizona) and letting you know that the chords of some recent worship songs were too difficult for me to play if I wanted to keep my focus on Jesus at the same time. You seemed to react with some dismay, but I did notice that (for some time afterward) the songs seemed to get more simple, humble, intimate, and reproducible! It's my opinion that if the songwriters stick to those parameters, there's MORE OIL ON THE SONGS. What do you think?
