A Word from Keith Haygood
It has been by honor to be in many churches throughout Oklahoma. Even though there is great diversity, churches across our state have much in common. We hold a high view of scripture, cherish our heritage, and are passionate when it comes to worship and our music. It is my prayer that Church Music Oklahoma – Worship & Arts Expo 2007 would celebrate what we share and inspire us to reach toward new heights in worship. You won’t want to miss this opportunity for training for your local church setting. It is our goal to provide relevant conferences that will assist you and your ministry in becoming more effective in worship, discipleship, and evangelism. Our conference leaders bring expertise in his or her field as well as a passion for worship and music ministry. Sign up soon and bring all of your worship leadership team! I look forward to seeing you at CMO 2007 – Worship & Arts Expo.

Recommended Reading for Worship Leaders
Searching for God Knows What – by Donald Miller
 
In Searching for God Knows What, Donald Miller's provocative and funny new book, he shows readers that the greatest desire of every person is the desire for redemption. Every person is constantly seeking redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life, believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness. Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems, status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace. Readers will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is simply the pursuit of redemption.
