We are launching a Village Thrift tour of gatherings and concerts for Fall ‘08 in conjunction with our second release, Village Thrift: Circa ‘08. Should you be interested in hosting a Village Thrift gathering to build your community, share dialogue and teaching, host a night of worship, prayer, and spiritual impartation, please contact Todd Berger at berger@entertheworshipcircle.com to secure your date immediately.
Who can observe God’s constant movement– creating, connecting, interacting… we cannot fathom the complexity of history. Yet– many roll on with their lives, naively playing major parts in the story and saying, “there is no writer for this script”. Yet we know full well that all of life originates in something or someone. So who are we to say to our Maker, I would rather be this and do that– how laughable to want the roll of both potter and clay.
So those in denial of God, who live in fear to preserve and avoid harm find resolution in their own dry scattered bones. And for all the heat and duress they put our world through, will all be for naught– because there is no sustainable root in fear itself, but those put their fear only in God, will live forever.
Laurel and I took a Village Thrift team up to Wheaton, IL end of February. From there we took a trip up to Milwaukee, WI to spend some time with Jeremy and Hansi Bryan. We were also able to catch up with Dave Olson, one of our beat makers on the next Village Thrift recording. 2 weeks later, we packed our bags as a family for 3 weeks in Colorado spending some much needed time with David and Carol Shirk, Ben and Robin Pasley, and some of our friends out in Woodland Park and Boulder. The second weekend in April we were able to host Doug and RIta Roberts in our home. The last week of April Laurel took a trip out to Arizona while Todd got some great “Daddy Time” with the girls. Later that week, he was invited to help lead worship at a 4 day men’s event on Concord, NC. Whew! all of that travel and all are doing well. Meanwhile, in the midst of all of this, Todd has continued to write and record new material for the upcoming highly collaborative Village Thrift worship recording. We appreciate your prayers in this season and appreciate your ongoing support. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
Todd is a full time musician who finds his inspiration in ancient poetry and through the modern gritty beats of urban America. Todd’s unique style is indicative of the traditional singer songwriter a la Billy Joel mixed with the modern high energy rock and electronica more typical of Cold Play or early Beck.
Todd has some great insight and wonderful stories to share. Don’t miss it!
