Please Pray For…..
Dear LFTB Family,
It is a hard time when we have to make a major
change in our lives. All of us have experienced the
emotions of change. Sometimes it's fearful and
sometimes it is filled with anticipation wondering what
God is going to do. That is true in our personal lives
but it is also true in the life of our church. Such are
the feelings today with the Bent Bucket Band making
a major change in their ministry. If you were not
aware of this change, let me assure you it is not a
case where the band members are leaving the
church. It is a case of their needing to be released
from a full time commitment to LFTB to have the
freedom to accept engagements outside of our church
ministry.
Next Sunday, May 3rd, Wayne Jumper has agreed to
do our music for us. Wayne and Leah have been
involved with the ministry at LFTB for many
years. Wayne is the director of our Arena Ministry on
Tuesday night. He has agreed to do what he can to
help us with our praise and worship as we make this
transition.
Please be in prayer as we let God lead us in our
praise and worship ministry. Also, let me assure you
that we will not be leaving our western style of
worship. This is Living For the Brand Cowboy Church
and it will always be a Cowboy Church in worship and
in ministry
Thank you for praying and have a great worship
experience today with the Bent Bucket Band leading
us.
