CD RELEASE / THANKYOU / LOOKING AHEAD

The concert this past Sunday night was soooo awesome! We could not have asked for a better group to worship with. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who came out and to everyone who bought CDs. It really means a lot to us that you guys would do that.

Also, I wanted to let you know where the Spirit and Truth Band will be going from here.

SUNDAY MORNING:
The point of recording an album in the first place is to use it for worship so you can expect to hear these songs every now and again on Sunday morning. Hopefully we won't wear them out :)

MORE SONG WRITING:
One of the reasons that we're so excited about this CD is because it is the first of many to come! Starting now we are going to try to begin a habit of writing songs together as a team and cultivating our own little pocket of worship music that is relevant to where we are as a church.

THE BAND:
Something else that we hope will happen from this is that we will be able to take our music out from this place. Conferences, concerts, acoustic worship on the street corner ...we don't really know yet, but we do know that if we continue to run after God then He will direct our steps.

BUYING THE CD:
If you missed the chance to buy the CD Sunday night do not worry; we will be selling them in the GCC bookstore every week before and after service. Also, you are now able to buy the CD right now online at CDBaby.com, and soon it will be available on itunes as well. Click here to go to CDBaby.com

We appreciate your prayers as we don't really know exactly what's in store for us now. Just pray that God would use us the way He sees fit ...for His glory.

Thank you for your time and God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. Here are some more pictures from the concert. Go to the Spirit and Truth Band facebook page to see them all.

THEY HAVE ARRIVED!

The CDs are here! Don't forget this Sunday night at 6pm we will be debuting these songs at the CD release concert. The album will be available on itunes as well, but I don't know when it's supposed to go up yet ...I'll let you guys know when i know.

Anyway, I can't wait to sing these songs together with you all Sunday. Hope to see you there!

God bless,
-Timmy

IT'S DONE!!! ...BUT IT WAS A BATTLE.

Hello all!

I am extremely proud to say that we are now completely done with the album! All we have to do now is sit back and watch the mail for the finished product to come in!

However...
...getting here was by no means easy.

Mixing / Mastering:
After spending all last week (literally 7am - 1am some days) mastering the cd to get them right, I have pretty much had my fill of listening ALL the songs for a while lol! It was totally worth it though. They came out great, and I'm really proud of everyone on the team for what we were able to accomplish.

Artwork:
This one almost didn't happen. When it came around to the Tuesday night we had picked to have the photo shoot there were warnings for extreme weather, but we went out anyway hoping to get done before the rains came. So, we get to Greenway Farms and the sky is MENACING! There was lightning every couple seconds, and we could literally see the rain getting closer. But, as you can see from the heading above, we did get what we came for. This was almost the last picture taken right before we ran to our cars and the rain hit like a waterfall. God held back the floodgates for us for sure!

Submitting Everything:
This is simple.
- We had until 4pm July 1st to get the artwork zipfiles uploaded, and due to internet problems that day, the stuff went through at 4:10pm. If it hadn't been for our awesome Disc Makers rep holding the doors open for us that would have happened.
- Thursday (today) July 7th was the last day to get the master copy of the CD to Disc Makers, and it got there yesterday at noon lol.

All in all...
We had a couple of close calls, but God's hand was in it from the moment we started recording to the moment I dropped off that master disc at the post office. I am so glad that He is always in control, because I know that without His peace I would not have made it through these last 2 weeks.

What lesson can you kids learn from all this? What did I learn? Don't set a release date before you actually have the hardcopy of the real thing in your hands.

Seriously though, it came out amazing! I can't wait for you guys to hear it in its entirety, and more than that, I can't wait for the first time we get to worship together with them! For now, you can go to the Spirit and Truth Band Facebook page to listen to a preview of each song.

God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. I will posting some behind the scenes pics from the photo shoot soon.
