Hello, I've been EO for about 15 years, coming from a non-denominational background. I'm hoping to engage in good conversations with like-minded people. I've been married for a long time, three adult children, six grands. I have worked in administration in various churches as well as music ministry. Hubby and I are retired and enjoying life with two collies, three hens and one carpet-eating bunny.

Hello Harpgal!

welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here.

I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music?

I have found; in times of trouble; like we have with this CV-19; that listening to; and singing along to good Christian P&W music; can bring us closer to Jesus and His wonderful peace.

Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Thank you for the welcome. Music is what really drew me to the Orthodox Church. I was a P&W leader for years in several churches (non-denom, baptist) in the 90's. But the whole genre changed so much as the 2000's rolled in. I no longer saw it as edifying because the lyrics moved away from scripture and the whole scene became more performance focused than congregational focused, IMO. I still like the earlier scripture songs - they are a great way to learn the Word of God and be encouraged.

I agree with you; which is why most of my music threads are from videos made in the 90's and early 2000's. I wished it wasn't so; although there are a few exceptions to that.

Stop by and post one of your favorite's from that era; I would appreciate it! :clap:

Hi. great to meet you! I have retired from Church music, and now attend a small church where they sing all the old hymns! Such a refreshing change!
