Some of us do that. Some don’t. Some of us have stop watches that document our exact length of songs so that we can execute the service knowing that at the designated “sync” time – we can go to the video feed.

18 Apr

Lots of great reasons…. I can honestly say that music is a heavenly thing – and it’s use in worship is a biblical thing. Lets dig into the history a bit. Let me take you back, way back….
