The Rock, Fort Collins: Repretoire

Below is our band’s current playlist. Because I completely forgot the dates of these songs, and didn’t feel like looking up each one, I replaced the “Date” column with “My Rating.” My rating scale is determined first of all by how much I like the song, second by how much the rest of […]

Here in Fort Collins we have two bands that rotate three weeks on, three weeks off, leading worship on Sunday mornings. One of the band leaders moved to a different focus in ministry last winter, leaving the band without a leader, so the pastors asked me to step in and lead the band. I already […]
