April 20 and 21, 2013 | Fourth Sunday of Easter Bringing Jesus Christ to people for the f irst time and for a lifetime! I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 Let’s Get to Know Nichole Nordeman Sunday, April 28 at 6 p.m. in the Sanctuary - Are you ready to celebrate? Nichole Nordeman, a multiple GMA Dove Award winner, including two awards for Female Vocalist of the Year, is all set to be with us. There will be no charge to attend the concert. Confessing Thieves, a local group led by Steve Kowbel, will open the concert. We were able to talk with Nichole last week through a phone interview. The following summarizes her life as well as the process involved in writing the lyrics for the music inspired by “The Story.” Her story: Nichole’s love for music took root at the feet of her mother, a church choir director. She consistently flexed her song-writing muscles in high school and college while serving on praise and worship teams. After college, her song writing transitioned into “the messiness of (her) own salvation.” Nichole started to think that God had something more in store for her other than her private journal musings, so she entered a Gospel Music Association writing contest, which eventually landed her a record deal in Nashville. During this time, she had the privilege to work in a community of some of her favorite artists, such as Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. Even though it seemed like a quick career trek, she now sees how “slowly God was moving and how deliberate it all was.” For five years, she left her music career “just to be a mom” to her two children, Charlie and Pepper. Her days now consist of being a full-time mother and sitting at the piano writing music. She also loves to cook and enjoys the beauty of the outdoors. The Story: She began to write the 19 songs for the soundtrack for “The Story” after many discussions with Max Lucado, Randy Frazee and Norman Miller, her manager. “It was one of the greatest gifts and opportunities that the Lord has ever given to me,” says Nichole. Nichole Nordeman will be offering a concert at Gloria Dei on Sunday, April 28 at 6 p.m. For about 10 or 11 months, she immersed herself in the songs every night from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Since she grew up in a Christian home, she knew the popular sound bytes of each of these biblical stories, but soon learned there was “more to read in between the lines.” She would also consult with Max and Randy to ensure that her representations of these biblical stories were accurate. “The biggest gift we tried to communicate in these songs was the humanity of these people,” says Nichole. “We sometimes put them on a pedestal, but had we walked with them, they would have never called themselves biblical heroes. It is very liberating to see their humanity. They said yes to God, and as a result, what they did was extraordinary.” In a recent tweet to Gloria Dei, Nichole writes, “Looking forward to being with you all on 4/28.” So, come expecting to celebrate our God and how he weaves all of His people into “His Story,” a story of eternal proportions. See you next Sunday at the celebration! WW | April 20 and 21, 2013 A Change for Chris Onsrud Chris Onsrud, Director of Production Ministry, has resigned from his job at Gloria Dei effective April 30. Chris has worked at Gloria Dei on a part-time or full-time basis since 2004. He has been instrumental in all the behindthe-scenes tech support for each worship service, midweek openings as well as providing tech support for all of our special events, conferences and concerts. From projecting slides, to checking sound quality to producing ministry videos and thousands of other details, Chris has built Gloria Dei’s production and technical strategies to a level of excellence that will be built upon for years to come. He has also organized and led an incredible group of “tech servants” who are passionate about bringing excellence to every worship service. Chris Onsrud has served at Gloria Dei since 2004. “Stories guide us in defining who we are, how we got here, where we are going and what we must do to get there,” says Chris. “A good story is one in which I co-create with those whom I serve. We are meant to be a community that loves the stories of our great need for the gospel, the stories of celebrating the glory of grace and the stories of how we have come to be who we are. Indeed! We need to tell stories of failure and the need for grace. We need to tell stories of success and the feeling of joy. We just need to tell stories. I have had a lot of fun (as in bent over laughing) listening to the stories told from the tech team, and have told my share to them also. But I take the most pride in knowing I helped tell someone in a pew or on the internet, whom I don’t know or ever will, the greatest story ever.” So, when you see Chris this week, thank him for his expertise, his dedication and all the technological advances that he brought to Gloria Dei.
