2018 come and gone

Just like that, the year is over! We had a busy time in November and December. Here are some of the places we headed to: Now, as you can see, Kevin wasn’t with us for most of these. Sadly Kevin has left CrossRoad, and is on to other things. What a loss this is to […]

We’ll bring You more than a song

“I’ll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required You search much deeper within, through the way things appear You’re looking into my heart” Familiar words from a popular worship song. We sang it again on Sunday, and once again it struck me that what we […]

Road trip!!!

Playing in Gauteng keeps us real busy. There are so many churches out here, we are usually fully booked up without leaving the province. But this year we were privileged enough to head down to KZN for the first time. But I’ll get to that shortly.   Heidelberg Methodist After a week or two off […]

Back Home Again

It’s been a strange year for us – we’ve hardly practised. It seems week after week, one out the four of us gets caught up in work or studies or meetings or sickness and we have to cancel. Thankfully we’ve been doing songs we know very well, so we’ve been able to get by. But […]

Testimonials

Rev Ray Goddess, Heidelberg Methodist Church

"I would recommend ANY church to invite them and enjoy the experience... If you don't invite them - you and your church are missing out."

Fr. Des Smit, All Saints Anglican Church

"As a priest and Christian I have been blessed by this dynamic group’s ministry for several years. They have played at Sunday services, surprising even the most stoic member of the congregation with the joy and love that they share with us."

Rev. Derek Wilson, Emseni Methodist Church

"Quite apart from their musical ability, which is phenomenal, I have also appreciated the deep faith they have in Jesus Christ, and the way in which they bring this faith into their music."

Rev Dr Jeanette Krige, Aldersgate Methodist Church

"At first the older congregants were very reluctant to join in, but their opposition melted away and they thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm, music presentation and testimony presented by the Band. I have had nothing but favourable comments from those who were present."

Dave Stewart, Edenvale Brothers in Christ

"The format that Luke brings is an interactive worship with a message around the songs which has an awesome impact on the men who attend the group."
