We had a great Sunday last week at Heartsong Church, 5660 N Academy (Doyle Combs, worship leader). Most of our church was there so we were well represented. Heartsong really appreciated our music, especially our pianist par excellence Lisa. Lisa played for the entire worship service and I sang 3 songs, “You Raise Me Up,” ”God Bless the USA,” and “Ready to Fly.” Lisa played with the small orchestra for the service so this was a new experience for her and she did an excellent job.

We are grateful for this church’s kind response to us and hopefully we can reciprocate their congeniality (got a new thesaurus) in some way in the future. The people were wonderful and we hope it was a great experience for our folks. It is important that we get to know other Christians and fellowship with them; remember Freedom folks, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

When we started as a church back in 1988 the encouragement of another church would have been so helpful, and this was our chance to encourage this young church in their endeavor to continue their ministry. Nancy and I greatly enjoyed Doyle’s music ministry and we have had a strong connection with Doyle and Rhonda for their vision of gospel music as a strong basis for the ministry of a church. We’re not Methodists-we’re Baptists and proud of it, but our differences were not so great that we could not enjoy this unprecedented opportunity to gather together to celebrate worship with this new church.

This Sunday is during Labor Day Weekend so we know we’ll have some folks out of town, but we’ll be back to our regular services and will worship with all that are here, same Bap time, same Bap channel!

Greg and Nancy started Songspinners practice for the coming Christmas season.
