Music Mondays

A new video from our church's worship band at our annual Christmas Sing-A-Long. This song features a number of Jacobs School musicians both present and past, many of whom attend Clearnote. Enjoy!

This Friday the Good Shepherd Band will release their new Christmas album, Repeat the Sounding Joy! We're all extremely excited about it, and (as someone who has had a chance to listen already) I can assure you, it won't disappoint.

There are a couple of things you need to know in order to celebrate with us. The first thing is that there will be a cd release party this Friday night at 7pm at the Pourhouse Cafe on Kirkwood. We'll listen through the album, enjoy some great coffee and gelato, hardcopies of the album will be available for purchase, and the band will perform some of the songs from the album in a stripped down set. Oh, and yours truly will host the evening. So check the event out on Facebook and be sure to tell your friends!

Finally, the band has put some of their music online for your listening pleasure. Let me give you the round-up:

Repeat the Sounding Joy is now available for pre-order! Order now and download a free song. Just click here.

If you're like me, you've been looking forward to this for a long time. Good Christmas music is hard to find, and this album is going to be a gem. Here's another preview to whet your appetite:

I recently discovered a project from a Christian hip hop artist who goes by the name Through Hymn. He created a project called "On Word and Sacrament" which goes through a biblical understanding of the sacraments, as well as how they have been wrongly viewed throughout the history of the church.

After a summer hiatus, MMM is back! For those of you who may not know, MMM stands for 'Mike's Music Mondays'. MMM is a weekly blog posting that allows me to share music that is insightful, often times relevant to teaching you are hearing that week, and hopefully enjoyable!
