We had the honor of playing for the Millersport UMC Women’s Retreat at “The Place Off The Square” in Newark this past weekend. WOW! We got so much more out of this experience than we expected!! We thought we’d play a couple of sets and sit back as observers the rest of the time. We were encouraged to be retreat participants from the very beginning. The planning committee had put together such a wonderful variety of experiences – from formal prayer and scripture, music, dance, personal testimony, and teaching……all different ways of feeling the presence of the Lord…and He was definitely there in the people that weekend.
Musically, we stretched a bit and added some praise and worship music – with our Evening Rose feel – to our repetoire. It was great for us to perform this music and we’ll keep it in the mix!
Many thanks to Brenda Thompson, our initial contact, Tara Vinson the pastor’s wife/violin virtuoso who played with us (!!!) and the rest of the retreat committee for an incredible experience!
