The month of February went by rather quickly. Time flies when you're having fun, eh? We were able to enjoy concerts in Canal Point, Wauchula, Okeechobee, LaBelle, Pahokee, Satellite Beach, Rockledge and Indiantown. (OK, so Indiantown was technically in March, but I wouldn't want to leave them out during this newsletter!) For such a short month, that sounds like a lot, doesn't it? That's a good thing! We have been delighted to be busy during the month and want to say a big THANK YOU to those whoh have shared services with us!
The Lord has been gracious to us. We've been able to share in communion services, an ordination service, we've seen people respond publically during altar calls and had the opportunity to pray with multiple people after services were over. We've been able to be with our friends, Gulf State and Simple Faith ~ always a highlight! To God be the glory! If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, please be sure to call us and let us come and minister to your group.
As we were in service at the Oceanside Community Church in Satellite Beach, the pastor shared some thoughts with his congregation before we sang. He likened a worship service to a person who enjoys drinking tea. There are lots of flavors of tea one can choose from. There is tea with lemon, tea with honey, tea with sugar ~ you get the idea. Different people have varying tastes when it comes to the flavor of tea they like. Such is the case with music in a worship service. Some like the old hymns, some like the newer contemporary choruses. Some like anthems, while still others may enjoy the Stamps Baxter style of music.
The main goal of Trust Quartet is to sing songs that honor and glorify Christ. We happen to do it with a southern gospel flavor. But within that genre of music, there are several songs we sing that highlight a different style. The pastor went on to share from Colossians 3 about Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. He reminded us that the Word of God teaches us to use a variety of styles to accomplish the goal of honoring and glorifying Christ. Each of these different types of music is intended to teach us about the God who created music.
We desire your prayers as we continue in the ministry of sharing the gospel in song. We desire that you be encouraged and strengthened in your walk with God. If you've not yet come to the place in your life to commit to a growing relationship with Him, we long to share with you how you can have your life transformed by the grace of God! Please let us know if we can help you in that area of your life.
