Got a chance to sing with the amazing UM Church for all People band and singers this morning for two fabulous services. Katelin Hansen, on the far left, leads these very talented singers and musicians weekly, and it was a joy to be able to reunite and sing with them this morning. So good to see the Pastors, singers, musicians and congregation as I've been away the entire summer!
Twelve friends and I from my home church had the honor of providing music, lectures and support for the UMC Mississippi Annual Conference held in Jackson, Ms. Over 1,000 pastors and 1,000 local delegates attended the three day event. I was honored to sing with the All People Band and with tracks from my latest album. The warm welcome I received from the Mississippi folks made me feel right at home. All events were captured on camera for the United Methodist Hour, so hopefully some concert footage will be available soon. Pictured above are from left to right starting in the back: Pastor John Edgar, me, Ed Moed and David Bennett.
