Presently, I find myself in the foothills just outside of Sacramento, California. The town is Auburn, otherwise known to the natives as “A-town”. Since last time we’ve connected I’ve been to a few places. The first was Creation West, which is quite a large Christian music festival that takes place in the state of Washington. The venue is a massive natural amphitheater that is nestled right up to the cliffs of “The Gorge”. The Gorge (not the “George”) is kind of like Washington’s version of the Grand Canyon, definitely smaller than the original, but still vast and majestic to say the least. I acted as kind of the festival worship leader for the first few days, leading in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, along with teaching a worship seminar and playing a few sets of my own stuff. They kept me pretty busy, but I was happy to do it. It was actually a bit daunting at times, walking onto the main stage with just me and my guitar in front of 20,000 people.
After a few days at the Gorge, I traveled about a hundred a fifty miles over to the Seattle area, Bremerton to be exact. It was green and cool as Seattle always seems to be. I played in a venue called the Roxy. It’s an old theater refurbished with a rocking sound system and lights. It was my second time playing there and it’s always a good time.
Now I’m in “A-town” playing at a Calvary Chapel event. It should be a good time as well.
I do have a question for all of you, so if you have any input please respond. Here’s the question:
With the new record coming out there will be new merch coming as well. Me and the team have been brainstorming about it. You know, what kind of things to people want and so on. But I thought why don’t I ask you guys. What does someone want to buy other than CD’s and shirts? Any ideas?
Anyway,
Like I said before, the record is just about finished up. This little video is a bunch of random things from that process. Hope you like it.

where can i get the chords to “must i wait?”
Posters would be awesome- and stickers are a good idea too!
Phil,
Can you send me the chord charts for “Cannons?” I’d like to add it to a worship set I’m working on.
I first heard it at the Houston David Crowder thing. Awesome.
(I was hoping to see Chord charts in the CD- maybe on the next one?)
Blessings!

Make sure you have T-s that are youth size. My girls are 6 & 4 and are blessed by your music as well.
track jackets…those are sweet. just make sure you make t’s and jackets that have that girl fit. thanks!
DVD’s would be good. Concerts, interview, gag reel, oh and make sure to plug the website b/c its really nice.
*For a bonus you could have some DVD-ROM extras with some of your website stuff and some links to stuff you care about like Harvest Crusade and other stuff.
Phil already has stickers. Its a picture of him with LOVE on his hand and it has his myspace and regular website on them. Just sign up for the street team, they might still have it. They give you like 100 free phil wickham stickers.
Phil,
Anything Inspirational! In this crazy, currupt mixed up world we need all the daily encouragement that we can get. This is what the music that the Lord has gifted you with and the lyrics that he has placed on your heart does. It lifts our eyes to heaven and gives us a heavenly persective. Phil, you don’t need any kind of “stuff” to do that with. Keep worshiping Phil:-) So that we may worship along with you. Because he is so worthy of our praise… and we are in such great need of his Grace…
Remember,
Abraham pitched tents. Abraham knew this world was not his home. He also built altars wherever he went. Altars for worship. Worship that lifted their eyes off of the things of this world. Eyes that saw the Lord, and gave them a heavenly perspective:-)
Worship Phil, Worhip!
