We have been in the midst of a two-week “mini-series” called “Way Of Life.” The basic promise is dealing with what God has to say about how we deal with poverty, helping others (esp. the hurting), etc… As part of our prep for a major offsite community help weekend, we launched what we thought would be a comparatively minor food drive. Well, it became clear that it was taking flight – one of our folks, a Jr. High teacher, challenged his students to come onboard, and they did – 1300 cans of food from that class alone!
Anyway, we borrowed 50 shopping carts from Lowes, Marsh (a local grocery chain) donated thousands of bags, and we filled the platform with shopping carts overflowing with food – as we sang our way through a very uptempo worship set!

Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
