Just a quick update to let you know the Jonathan Smith album “Destination Known” which I mentioned in the December update now has a page online where you can preview the songs and order the cd if you like what you hear. Jonathan did a wonderful job recording “Declare Your Glory” and the album is a great listening experience, from start to finish.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (a little early) from Recent Rainfall Worship!
If you haven’t already discovered it, we have a new song you can download from our website. And no, it’s not a Christmas song. I just finished co-writing on a wonderful Christmas song with Lara Marriot, but don’t have a finished recording, so you can’t hear it yet.
Our newest song is called You Rolled Away The Stone. It is an Easter-all-year-long kind of song. A couple of guys from the band Ambright...

 
Recent Rainfall Worship – June 2009 Update
 
Just a quick update to let you know of two new songs posted on the Recent Rainfall website.
 
“Who Can Separate Us” has been in the works for a while, but I have delayed posting it due to some issues with the vocals. I decided to go ahead and put the song up on the website even though there may be a different mix with a new vocalist in the future. So, go ahead and check it...

We wanted to let you know about some Easter songs which are available on the Recent Rainfall website.
 
“Giver of Grace” is a modern hymn written by John Green and Lara Marriott. The mp3 is a piano/vocal recording performed by Lara. Hymns offer a chance to explore rich theological themes. Our song focuses on Christ’s sacrifice, His resurrection, and the outpouring of God’s grace which resulted. “Giver of Grace” is being introduced at Westminster Chapel, Bellevue Washington this Sunday, and we may have a recording...

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Just before 2008 ends, we have a little surprise for you.  Our good friend Stephanie Lawrence has just released a powerful song called "At The Cross".  Stephanie is a gifted worship leader and songwriter.  If you enjoy the musical style of Third Day, combined with soaring femal vocals, you'll like this one.  The music was produced by Mike Caro who has worked with us on songs like "Show Your Glory Lord" and "Holy Moment".

Quick update to let you know that two new songs have been posted to the Recent Rainfall website.
 
“Glory To God In The Highest” is an acoustic Christmas song. This is not a studio recording, but a home recording featuring flute, guitar, and worship leader Stephanie Lawrence singing. We should be posting a brand-new studio recording of Stephanie Lawrence’s song “At The Cross” before the end of the year. I was able to preview the song, and loved it.
 
“Strength To Strength” is a...
