For the past couple of months, I have been fortunate to be involved with a new Worship band, comprised of musicians from a few different churches. Every Monday evening, I am getting together with these guys for a rehearsal, well it's actually just a night of Worship with contemporary Christian music. We don't spend much time refining songs, but rather have just been getting to know each other and worship together. Holy Spirit is doing the refining, and it is most evident in the relationships being built.
The music is really coming together with a fresh, full sound. The lineup is Mike Burrows on drums, Curtis White on bass guitar, Jonathan Freymond on electric guitar, Paul Meyer on keyboards, vocals and 12 string guitar, Darren Storey in vocals and myself on guitar and vocals. We also have Ron Henning running sound.
I hope to have some videos and recordings of us here soon. We don't really know what God is going to do with us, and that's exciting in itself. I guess we have talked about playing out in the community a bit, maybe for some Youth concerts, park concerts and the occasional special event that is looking for a 'modern' sound in worship music. We have no name for the band yet, and have no idea when our first engagement will be, but we are trusting in God. Really, even if we never play outside of the church, Monday evenings have turned into a great time for deep worship.
Please pray that we will please our Lord through this, and listen to His direction.
