Tinney Chapel Troubadours perform another George Jordan original song
Today's two-song effort by the Tinney Chapel Troubadours included another original hymn composition by the talented George Jordan, the original Tinney Chapel Troubadour, and a long-time singer and songwriter.
Today's song by George was Let Me Rest In Your Arms, followed by a pastoral favorite, Jesus Is The Rock, both performed with a peppy rhythm.
The group welcomed a new member of the Troubadours: Cline Hall, a drummer, who added percussion to the performance.
Other Troubadours include Pastor Carl Sterling, Kevin Tinney, another multi-talented singer-songwriter of the Greater Winnsboro area, Roger Schneider and Joe Dan Boyd.
A special treat today was the trumpet solo by Travessa Tinney Newsome: Nearer My God To Thee, introduced as having been played by the ship's band when the Titanic sank.
The church choir sang Precious Name today.
Our pianist was Molly Mathis and our song leader was Angela Wylie. Congregational songs included This Is My Father's World and Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling, the latter as the hymn of invitation.

Worship Music & Scripture Today

Some of today's photography was done by Mollie & David Stanton.
Tinney Chapel Troubadours, new praise string band, makes debut @ Tinney Chapel and Travessa Tinney Newsome is back in form on a trumpet solo, the quintessential choir performs and Certified Lay Speaker David Stanton reads Old Testament Scripture
The string band, currently calling themselves The Tinney Chapel Troubadours, consists of Brother Carl Sterling on his massive Esteban guitar, George Jordan on his Ventura guitar (and who is a veteran gospel songwriter and noted vocalist), Joe Dan Boyd on his Gibson baritone ukulele, Kevin Tinney on acoustic guitar (also a noted songwriter and vocalist) and Roger Schneider on acoustic guitar.
The Troubadours were formed last Tuesday night, July 17, in the sanctuary building at a meeting called by Brother Carl for anyone interested in music for the church. The Pastor made it clear that he has bigger plans for Tinney Chapel's musicians, including gigs at nursing homes and the like as well as at special events at Tinney Chapel which he has in mind. It also seems likely that the current musical incarnation might be evolving as time progresses. If you are interested, please show up at the next Tuesday night musical meeting, which apparently will be an ongoing event for learning and practicing. It's definitely an open meeting, so show up if you have an interest.
In the video which accompanies this post, the Troubadours begin with an uptempo version of Just A Closer Walk With Thee, with George Jordan on lead vocals, followed by the quintessential choir doing Jesus Is All The World To Me (accompanied by Molly Mathis on piano), followed by the Old Testament Scripture reading by David Stanton who is a Certified Lay Speaker, and concludes with Travessa Tinney Newsome's moving trumpet solo, Amazing Grace. Some members of our congregation joined in by singing the words to this great old hymn during Travessa's instrumental take.
