The Highbury church of Christ, a beacon to this neighboring country of islands, hosted our Praise & Harmony workshop in Nassau. The rafters were raised with joyful singing, instruction and four-part harmony.
This church has a very interesting history dating back to 1948. At the conclusion of our weekend, the congregation presented us with a copy of a book by Christopher and Denny Curry on the history of the church in the Bahamas.
Although this was my first visit to Highbury Park, we've had a connection to this church for a long time. A good friend, Shane Miller, has attended our summer ACAFEST celebrations for many years. Shane is an attorney who works for the government of the Bahamas.
Shane is quite the musician himself and is always leading a group of enthusiastic singers in praise to the Lord.
We met with the leaders for a portion of our workshop to discuss the requirements for planning dynamic worship. Our favorite time was hearing the entire congregation joining together in zealous praise. We sang softly and loudly. We varied from fast tempos to slow tempos. Most importantly, we worshiped God with all our hearts.
Many cruise ships stop in the Bahamas every single day. Have any of you visited the Bahamas?
I'll be posting more photos this week of our very special trip and warm reception from this wonderful family of
