January Engagements

27th - Cliftonpark Avenue Baptist, Belfast
With some family connections at Cliftonpark Avenue it is a bit like singing at home for Solid Ground.  Solid Ground sang 'Master Piece Of Mery', 'I Know a Man Who Can' and 'Reason Enough'.  Pastor Jonny Pollock lead the gospel meeting while Mr. Chrissy Cameron who is a student a Belfast Bible College was the speaker. Chrissy also works as an intern at Cliftonpark while studying at Bible College. Next engagement - Saturday 2nd February at Lisburn Congregational Missionary weekend at 7.30 pm.
20th - Saintfield Baptist Church
The drive to Saintfield proved to take a bit longer than normal with snow playing havoc with driving conditions. Solid Ground however arrived safe and sound and sang 4 pieces at the evening gospel service. The guest speaker was Mr Maurice Warberton from Lurgan who spoke from John 11 presenting the gospel from the story of the raising of Lazarus.  Next engagement - Sunday 27th January at Cliftonpark Baptist Church, Belfast at 7pm

10 Year Anniversary

It is hard to believe that it is now 10 years since Solid Ground came together and during that time there have been a few of changes to the makeup of the group and while no one likes ‘member change’ it is a reality that from time to time it is something that can happen. 

A few months ago Ashley, after much prayer and consideration informed us that he felt led to step down as Tenor singer with Solid Ground.  Ashley’s last date with the group was just before Christmas and Solid Ground have been actively looking for a replacement for Ashley but to date has not found that person. 
As we look back on five and a half years of fellowship with Ashley as tenor and see how God blessed our time together as a group, we wish ‘Sparky’ and his family much blessing in the days ahead as he continues to serve The Master.

In the mean time, David, Stephen & Wully will be continuing as Solid Ground, fulfilling all the bookings and looking forward to God meeting the need of a new tenor singer joining us in the near future.  Please pray that the new person will be of His choosing and that Solid Ground will continue to know the blessing of God in the future.

Thank you to all who continue to support Solid Ground in prayer and we pray that you all will know much blessing in 2013 - Happy New Year from Solid Ground
