Amy got our praise band a place to serve on this lovely Saturday. The Salvation Army Church was throwing a neighborhood party and wanted some musicians on a flatbed truck. I am so thankful that they picked it on a day that is supposed to get up to 92 degrees! That means I got to sweat five pounds off!
We had a great time just getting to worship together. We actually had a nice shade. It was a joy to serve the Church today in our town (notice the big “C”). As a church praise band, it is always great to serve the Church. We are the Body of Christ and we all have the same mission – to seek and to save the lost. We had a fun time doing it. Keep at it Salvation Army Church – you guys are doing a great job being Christ’s hands and feet!
With seven of us on that flatbed, it was a little tight, we had to share some microphones, and do some on the spot arrangements. But I am so thankful to serve with a crew that can do it and doesn’t complain or need certain arrangements to lead in worship. They live it through their lifestyle.
North Side praise band, it’s a joy serving with you.

Neat to hear about your praise in the community outreach. Music adds to the Message getting across and lifting up. Praise the Lord. A Major in Vancouver, Canada.
