Sometimes, it’s the little things that make something special. I know that I’ve had several hotel and restaurant experiences that were made special by little personal touches. Disney is masterful at that. When we were at Epcot Center, they pulled me from the crowd as the “special guest conductor” of the polka band in the Germany pavilion. I won’t spoil the experience by giving details, but, at the end, I walked away with a baton that said “Danke Shoen from Walt Disney World!” I still have it…
We tried to make some of the “little things” special this Easter – here’s a shot of a custom bass drum head that we had created to match our back screen graphics. Maybe only 20% of the folks even noticed it, but the attention to detail goes a long way towards making something unique and memorable… It wouldn’t impact anyone spiritually, it’s not going to communicate truth, but, hopefully, it shows that we really care about what’s happening, and about making things special for the people that we worship God alongside of…

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...
