About three months ago, the band leader at our church left for a better job.  We hired him in July right around camp time to lead the worship band at church, but he got a better offer in December at another church.  As a result, we needed a band leader to run the band until we could hire someone new.  So in January, I started as the interim band leader.  I have really enjoyed doing this for the past 3 months.  The music has been awesome and God has been working through the band to inspire me as well as create inspiring music for the congregation.  The really good news has been that God has brought us a new band director who is just what we need.  We have several guitar players and our new leader is a keyboard player.  He is going to be awesome!
