What a strange week this has been. It all started last Saturday, which to be fair is last week, but I did something I really didn't want to do. Let's be really frank, only God's power allowed it to happen, because I didn't want it to happen; yet in His knowledge and sovereign grace it did. Now my will says it will never happen again, but God's will be guide. That is all I am going to say about it, don't ask.
Second is all about Palm Sunday and Easter. As you know I have been working extremely hard to prepare services for a sister church in Brentwood, TN. Well Wednesday afternoon, and most preparations completed, I received completed worship bulletins from the pastor, with the songs he selected included. I have no idea how that happened, we communicated quite well what we were offering, which was to fully prepare and musically 'staff' his church those weeks, but that was obviously not what he wanted. Needless to say we're now off for those weeks. In the spirit of reconciliation the brother with whom I was preparing and I are going to attend a service over there in the near-future and provide some consultation to the pastor. He is wanting to improve the flow of his services, and hopefully we can provide some pointers.
Next, out of such things opportunities arise. My own church was looking for someone to lead music for the Easter Sunrise Service. Now since I had about 6 musicians tied up, 8 were already committed to working the regular services, and countless others were providing their individual services at other churches in the area, the pastors were having some difficulty in that area. Well guess what, I'm free now so I will be leading worship at Christ Community's Easter Sunrise service. I'm excited because I get to be at home on Easter and will get to worship alongside the brothers and sisters we have shared our lives with for close to five years now. That is an honor and privilege, God's sovereignty again.
The final update, on June 27 my new group will be performing at a benefit for HomeSafe of Wilson, Sumner and Robertson counties. This group provides support for battered women in these counties and is certainly deserving of any support you can give them. We'll be performing at 5 at the Wilson County Fairgrounds, but there will be live music from 2 PM to 10 PM. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate. If you're in Middle Tennessee I encourage you to come out. We are not making a dime from the gate, all proceeds go directly to HomeSafe. We will, hopefully, have some CDs for sale, provided we get the recording completed in time.
