On an evening with torrential rain showers and thundery conditions, Solid Ground traveled up to Portrush Baptist to minister in song. Some pieces from the Solid Ground archives were used to minister. One such song was, "Love Was In The Room". A new vocal arrangement on "I Know A Man" was also debuted for the first time. This tied in nicely with the sermon that particular evening on how the rich man lifted up his eyes from hell to ask for mercy. Solid Ground are thankful that we individually and collectively know the man Christ Jesus who can save whosever calls upon His name.
Next engagement: Cullybackey Elim, Sunday 22nd June at 6.00pm
Sunday 22nd June - Cullybackey Elim Church
Singing in Cullybackey Elim is always a pleasure for Solid Ground. The tangible sense of God's presence is evident even whilst setting up the equipment. It is amazing how this Presence can help to calm the nerves before singing and minister to the hearts of those in the pews.
Solid Ground were given the opportunity to sing four pieces; "That's Why", "Plan of Salvation", "Masterpiece of Mercy" and "I Thirst". Pastor Denver Micheal then brought the gospel challenge and brought the meeting to a close.
The next and final engagement for Solid Ground (until September) is this Sunday, 29th June, at Newtowards Baptist Church at 7pm.
Sunday 29th June - Newtownards Baptist Church
The final engagement prior to the summer break was in Newtownards Baptist. A pleasant June evening was mirrored by a warm sense of God's presence, which always gives liberty and helps to take the edge of the nerves.
"That's Why", "When He Was On The Cross", "I Thirst" and "When You Bow At Jesus Feet" were the pieces chosen by Solid Ground and the Pastor brought the Word from John 5. The Call of Discipleship was the message title and part one of a theme which the Pastor hopes to explore in coming weeks. Many thanks to those who prepared the supper afterwards and for the good time of fellowship.
After another singing season, Solid Ground would like to sincerely thank all those who have prayed for us, encouraged us and supported the ministry in song. We would also like to thank all the places we have been privileged to sing at for their gracious invitation to be a part of the services. It is our prayer that God would use Solid Ground to further His name and His Kingdom.
