Resonate 08

The Johnny Parks Band have been very kindly welcomed into the Resonate family over the years and now they are considering setting up a committee so that we can come and see them more often. (I'm not sure that we have time Pete but keep us posted!) It was a privilege to be involved in yet another resonate event. We missed the intimacy and extreme heat of the upper room but we had a blast in the Jethro Centre, Lurgan. Approximately 400 people gathered to worship with the Mark Ferguson Band who opened the night and then the Johnny Parks Band who played 2 sets with a wee sermon from Jools Hamilton in the middle.

The guys who run this event have a real heart for God and a real desire to create a place for people to come and worship in the Lurgan/Portadown area. As Johnny rightly said during our set, it is a fantastic opportunity for those of you down that neck of the woods to catch the vision and take ownership of this event. It is a real treat to be able to worship God alongside people from every kind of denomination and so we'd encourage you to check it out, get to know these guys and get involved in promoting and praying for it.

We had a great time playing the songs from the new record and hope that you'll get out to hear us soon.
Check out the website for information on when we're playing at a venue near you!!
