I wanted to write a message to all of you that have been following WikiWorship and who attended the worship services. It was so touching to me to see all of you participating in this huge project. We ended up having over 60 people [some of them were children] stay for lunch with around 50 people that participated in a small group discussion. You all should be so proud of yourselves and thank you for letting us go really deep in our discussions. I know for a fact that many people got a lot out of WikiWorship, while at the same time it was very different for many of us. Thank you for being a Church that allows people to ask the hard questions. Thank you for being a Church that is a safe place to ask the hard questions. It is my sincere honor to be a part of this wonderful ministry at Warren's Grove.
As a result of this project I have noticed that many people like following the blog on a daily basis. I am going to try to continue the blog ---- and what I will do is bring up different aspects of the Warren's Grove ministry and tell details about what goes on in my daily life as the Pastor at Warren's Grove. I hope someday to be able to bring up a discussion on the blog about what I will be preaching on the next Sunday. But, I am not quite ready to put that in motion. Please be praying for me and again thank you for all that you do to make Warren's Grove a community where hearts are touched, families can grow and the world is changed.

Life is full of questions; is the church answering yours?
WikiWorship is an attempt to create an environment where anyone can ask a question. The Church might not always have an answer, but my prayer is that this will intentionally create the space to ask the question.
Thank you for visiting the WikiWorship site. This site began as a project that I did for a class on discipleship at Duke Divinity School, in Durham, North Carolina, USA. I was convicted by God one day during a sermon when I heard the preacher say: Are we as the Church answering questions that no one is asking? I was convicted because I have always wanted to be a Pastor that puts great emphasis on the things that are important for everyday life. After hearing this I started thinking about ways that I could answer the questions that are important to people. That is how WikiWorship came about.

About Me
- Philip
- Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
- I was born in Minneapolis, MN and my family traversed our Jordan River (in other words the Mississippi River) and headed to the promised land --- North Carolina, when I was around 9 years old. So I grew up in Charlotte, NC and at 18 I decided to go back to the desert of Minneapolis, MN. I made it a whopping 3 months and moved back to Charlotte, NC. Soon I moved to Wilmington, NC and lived there for 12 years. In Wilmington I graduated from UNC - Wilmington, I got married, I had babies (4) and received a call from God into the ministry. So in July, 2006 I moved everyone to Roxboro, NC. After 7 years of serving at a wonderful church called Warren's Grove, we have now moved back to Wilmington, NC. We are starting a new faith community in downtown Wilmington called The Anchor. We are a Home School family and we love hiking, skiing, swimming, exploring, and canoeing.

Methodist Pie - Gene Autry
Click Here for a link to this awesome song, the words are below. You are allowed to sing out loud from your desk.
I’ve down to camp meeting the other afternoon
For to hear 'em shout and sing;
For to tell each other how they love one another
And to make a hallelujah ring.
There’s old Uncle Daniel and Brother Ebenezer
Uncle Rufus with his lame gal, Sue,
Aunt Polly and Melinda and old Mother Bender
Oh, you never seen a happier crew
Well they all go there for to have a good time
And to eat that grub so sly
Have applesauce and butter, with sugar-in-the-gourd
And a great big Methodist pie
Chorus:
Oh, little chillen, I believe
Oh, little chillen, I believe
Oh, little chillen, I believe
I's a Methodist till I die
I's a Methodist, Methodist, in my belief
I's a Methodist till I die.
When the old grim death comes a-knocking at the door
I's a Methodist till I die
Well you ought to hear the ringing when they all get to singing
That good old “Bye and Bye”;
See Jimmy McGee in the top of a tree
Said, how is this for high.
Then they caught a hold of hands and march around a ring
Keep a-singing all the while
You'd think it was a cyclone a-coming through the air,
You could hear ’em shout a half a mile.
Then the bell rings loud and the great big crowd
Breaks ranks and up they fly,
While I took ahold of the sugar in the gourd,
And I cleaned up the Methodist Pie.
Chorus
