The first of it's (sic) kind, Church and Change Worship Conference was held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in De Pere, WI. The church showcases state-of-the-art sound and video projection systems installed by NSC. Phillip Boileau of St. Mark's organized the multiple day event that included two contemporary Christian music concerts with praise bands from California, Minnesota, and two groups from St. Mark's. The conference and concerts were well received with over 170 registered attendees for the presentations, and more than 300 people per night for the concerts.

The conference was designed to help churches start a contemporary worship service or refine their current services, by supplying them with information on everything from how to introduce contemporary worship to the congregation, music, Power Point software, and the technologies that are available. Roger Ihde, sales manager/designer for NSC, presented available sound and video projection equipment and technologies as tools for a contemporary worship. Roger also played the guitar in the praise band from St. Mark's on Thursday night. NSC was honored to be a part of the conference and was delighted to be able to provide direction for the churches that attended, as well as expertise for the concerts.

Ex Corde
Music "from the heart"


Author: Dorothy J. Sonntag

The Northwestern Lutheran

If you think of church workers as staid and somber, the members of Ex Corde want to change your mind.


When this musical group is performing, they engage in antics that might be described as undignified and tell jokes best described as groaners. They display emotion openly--especially their happiness in the Lord.


The message they want to get across is that serving the Lord brings joy. And they'd like the young people in their audiences to think about serving him, too.


All of the group are in the ministry. Phil and Vicki Boileau, Ric Gibson, and Lyle Strehler teach in Lutheran schools. Dan Simons and Rod Pudell are pastors.


"We want to show that pastors and teachers can have fun," said Phil Boileau, "that we're normal people."


"We try to encourage kids to consider being pastors and teachers, or to serve the Lord in some other way," added Vicki. "We want to show them we have fun doing what we do, and they could, too."


"We're proclaiming Christ through music and having fun at it, " said Lyle Strehler, "and we always make it a point to try to get kids interested in the work of the church. After a concert, a lot of them talk to us about the ministry."


The group got started when Ric Gibson was in charge of planning the entertainment for the 1981 youth rally. He called on his friends for help, and they put together a musical group. After the rally they received requests to perform at church functions and Lutheran high schools. They've appeared regularly at subsequent youth rallies, and they recently made a tape.


At first they played secular music. In 1985 the group presented its first concert of Christian contemporary music. Simons calls the concert a "key turning point. CCM was new to us, and we liked it."


"It was so much fun," Vicki said. "We liked being together and doing our music. And to praise God, too! It was a spiritual high."

Ol' Time Rock N Roll

One of the noteworthy WELS examples nationally is St. Mark Lutheran Church in De Pere. About 80% of the music that its praise band plays comes from top-selling contemporary Christian music. The church, which has a $150,000 audio-visual system with two big video screens, has nearly 2,000 members and needs to expand beyond the new facility it built a few years ago, said Phil Boileau, its minister of music and family.
