Jazz Worship and Other Jazz

We had a great concert Saturday night and Jazz Worship Sunday morning. Rick Simerly--trombone, Fred Goodwin--bass, Eddie Dalton--drums, Todd Wright--alto, and Andy Page--guitar.



It was hot! More pics will be on the church's web page in a day or two as well as the sermon.

We ended with "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In" with some different lyrics. One our church members led us spontaneously in a parade.


When the rich go out and work
When the rich go out and work
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in

When the air is pure and clean
When the air is pure and clean
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in

When we all have food to eat
When we all have food to eat
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in

When our leaders learn to cry
When our leaders learn to cry
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in

Sunday's Walking Across America cartoon was a keeper. Good work Paul.




I found a few new blogs that I spy on now and then. I am adding them to the blogroll at the right. They include a couple of bright, progressive PCUSA seminarians, Adventures in Divinity School and Pomomusings. Also, Songs of Unforgetting and News from the Church Down the Street are worth checking out. I also like Michael Wilson's blog at My4Acres. Michael is the webwonder at a progressive church in Oak Ridge, TN, United Church, Chapel on the Hill.

I am in the process of making a list of progressive congregations of any denomination in East Tennessee, SW Virginia, and Western North Carolina. If you know of some to add to the list, let me know!
