Hello!

This past Sunday I had the privelege of leading worship at an amazing church. “The Rock” in San Diego is the 5th fastest growing church in the USA. During their 5 services every Sunday they have about 12 thousand people coming in and out of their doors.

It was a busy but excellent Sunday – a real blessing to see so many faces and lead them into God’s presence.

Here are some pics!

Thanks to my great band!! – Sarah MacIntosh on BGVs, Jonathan MacIntosh on electric guitar, Darla Hawn on drums and Time Devlin on bass. You guys were heroes to play that many services with me in a row!

Looking forward to visiting The Rock again on a Sunday when I’m not leading and experiencing their worship and teaching again. It was great. A special thank you to Stefanie, Regina, Gene, Chris and all the crew for making me feel so welcome :-)

I had a wonderful, unexpected surprise this past week. My friends from the band “Leeland” – who if you’ve never met them are some of the greatest guys on the planet – were sound checking in San Diego for the Christian Music Awards. They had a few hours free, so they drove to the studio I’m recording in and sang some ‘gang vocals’ on some of my songs. Thanks guys!

Here are some pics…

Lots of headphone cables so everyone could hear and sing along!

The first step for recording was – turn off our phones! (You can see how many iPhone-users we had in the building!!)

Some of the songs I joined the ‘gang’ and sang on… Others I just stood and watched as it was a special moment for me to see all those people singing my songs and bringing their voices and hearts to the record.

Also…. Leeland’s brand new album hit the streets TODAY! Go buy it here!!

Are you part of a music community? Do you have people that you play with, sing with, jam with? For any musician or songwriter, a good musical community is a real gift from God. Do you have that or are you praying/searching for that?

Love,

Vicky
