Rock Admin

Hi all,

Admin, admin, admin. That's all that seems to be going on at the moment for me and for our 11 venue organisers around the south west. Nearly there now though...

And every now and again a chink of light breaks through the pile of papers. Just received this from Brenda in Bristol:

"The choir have asked that I tell you how much this music has meant to them all - they have been a great group to teach but one also who soaked up the gospel message. It sometimes felt like standing in front of sponges!!! God has been so powerfully present at every practice - including last week when there was an accident outside the church. We prayed a lot about it on and off throughout the practice and two of our group who had witnessed it were there. No one was hurt etc and the police comment was that seldom if ever had they worked in such calm surrounding with such lovely music to be heard!!!


We know that God will use this testimony but thank you again for your lovely music."

Rock in Action

I received this email from one of the Leicester choir members. It is so wonderful to hear of how God is using Rock to bless people.

----------------------------------

Hi Helen,
I thought you might be interested to know that since we performed in Leicester, we have played two of the songs in my home church.
We played "This is the Place" as a call to worship one Sunday evening, and recently sang "The Look of Love" during a morning service based on "Heroes with Clay Feet" - Peter.
My Minister was in the audience when we sang at the DeMontfort Hall, and since she knows I love to sing more than anything she asked me if there was a song from "Rock" that could be integrated into the service.
I picked 'The Look of Love' and it fitted beautifully.

Looking forward to seeing you all in November
Ruth.
