NEW WORSHIP FRIDAY: Worship For Everyone, Local Sound, Thrive Worship & Vineyard Worship
Worship For Everyone release 'Love In Action'. The all age worship movement is based at Gas Street Church in Birmingham, UK, where the local school’s strap-line - St Peter's and St John's CE - is "God’s love in action." The new single takes inspiration from this motto and involves the school’s choir, building delicate vocal layers on an electropop background. 'Love In Action' is full of Worship For Everyone’s trademark energetic sound as the lyrics point to the reality of living out Christ’s love. 'Love In Action' is a missional song, "it is important as we seek to raise a generation of disciples who will represent Jesus in their schools, homes and workplaces," Becky, who lends her vocals to the new track, concludes.
Local Sound introduce their second post-EP single called 'My Confidence.' This song is a response when fear and anxiety come knocking at our door, such as when covid broke out and many experienced these disturbing emotions. ‘My Confidence’ emerged to encourage and teach from the inside out, pushing listeners into the arms of God, a safe place where confidence can be found when all else fails. Singer Alexis Butcher points out that, "in order to place Christ as our confidence and foundation, [we] have to surrender everything into His hands and trust that He is good." 'My Confidence' features a beautiful slow pop soundscape and is as catchy as it is profoundly hopeful.
Vineyard Worship UK release 'Room At The Table', a new song full of warmth from the first note, with elements of mellow blues and soft rock. 'Room At The Table' follows Jesus’ journey to the cross and meditates on the beauty of his body and blood given for us. It is a song of remembrance and invitation to take part in the endless life He offers. The new single is the musical expression of a central value in the Vineyard movement to "come as you are". ‘Room At The Table’ journeyed from starting around the act of communion,"which in many parts of the global Church is seen as the highest point of worship," songwriter Marc James says, "to a broader invitation to join the great feast of the kingdom, bringing everybody in."
Thrive Worship recently released 'Pour Your Spirit (Live)', an album that brought listeners and church communities to experience the powerful culmination of years of intensively seeking the Lord. The Californian worship team introduced the project with standout song 'Coming Back,' a track that encapsulates the ardent desire for an authentic relationship with God and extends the invitation to lay down all striving and get back to the wonder and joy of truly knowing Jesus. Now introducing a deluxe version of 'Coming Back' including a radio edit, Thrive Worship remind us that there is still a lot to come from their worshipful expression of what God is doing in and beyond their community.
