Two Videos from Worship on March 18, 2012

Thanks to Steve Walls for recording two wonderful musical offerings from our March 18 worship service.  First, a fantastic Offertory from Andy Hudson (banjo ukulele, harmonica & vocal), John Painter (tuba) and Tim Davies (cajon) sharing "There's a Leak In This Old Building." The video cuts out a bit before the end, but you can still bask in the joy and celebration of the music.

 

Second, it's the Eastwood Choir's presentation of "God So Loved the World" by John Stainer from the Anthem.

 

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!
