New Tenor for Solid Ground

Solid Ground is pleased to announce that Philip (Phil) Boles from Aghalee has joined Solid Ground as their new Tenor.  Having heard and answered the call of God to serve Him in proclaiming the gospel in song, Phil also brings to Solid Ground Ministry a vast knowledge and love of Southern Gospel music.  Please pray that together Phil, Stephen, Wully and David will know much blessing as they collectively seek to serve the Master.  Check out www.southerngospel.wordpress.com/ for details of Southern Gospel music from Northern Irish perspective.

February Engagements


Sunday 24th - Ballee Baptist Church (Missionary Weekend)
It has been a bit of a tradition over the past number of years that Solid Ground sang on the Friday night of the missionary weekend at Ballee but...this year a break with tradition meant singing to a packed church on the Sunday evening instead. Mr Callum Webster was the guest speaker at the final meeting of the missionary weekend, representing 'The Christian Institute'.  Solid Ground sang 'Masterpiece of Mercy', 'I Know A Man Who Can' and 'When I Bow At Jesus Feet'. Next engagement - Cullybackey Elim Church on Sunday 3rd March at 6pm.
Sunday 17th - Dunseverick Baptist Church
With many happy memories over many years at Dunseverick, it was good for Solid Ground to be back and catch up with the progress of the ministry at Dunseverick. Pastor Mark Taylor spoke from Luke Ch 23 on the thief on the cross while Solid Ground sang 4 pieces.  It was good to renew fellowship with many around a cup of tea after the meeting.  Next engagement - Ballee Baptist Church, Ballymena missionary weekend at 6.30pm on Sunday 24th February 
Saturday 2nd - Lisburn Congregational Church Missionary Weekend
Solid Ground sang a number of pieces at the annual Missionary Convention/Weekend at Lisburn Congregational Church.  Mr Alan Graham from CEF gave a very interesting report of his work in Zimbabwe.  Mr Geoff Thomas was the guest speaker for all the services throughout the weekend. As usual there was a large display of material and stands with various missionary organisations represented.  Next engagement – Dunseverick Baptist Church on Sunday 17th February at 7pm
