Recently, I was approached from the coordinator for the Russell Fire Dept. Jubilee to see if New Leaf Ministries might be interested in hosting the Friday Night Praise Concert on May 22st, 2009. Although it has not been a huge money making venture for the ministry, it has given us much needed exposure and also an opportunity to get area praise bands and singers to share their talents and people who might not normally attend a church opportunity to take part in an evening of awesome music.
I went to a dinner and praise concert at the Chandler's Valley United Methodist Church. The group that was the evening's entertainment was the Road Apple Ridge Band. A very talented bluegrass band with a lot of variety in their music. I went specifically to hear this band and I was delighted to see just how talented this group is. I approached them about playing for the Friday Night Jubilee Praise Concert and they sounded excited to be doing it. We don't have the definite thumbs up yet, but how exciting that would be if we would be able to get them for the evening.
Either way, put down on your calendar the Russell Fire Dept. Jubilee... the weekend of May 22 through 24, but more specifically put down on your schedule the Friday Night Praise Concert It's sure to be a delightful evening and the only cost involved is a freewill offering during the Concert.
I look forward to seeing you there.
