Special Worship Music - February 28, 2010

Rashid is a recently-arrived Congolese refugee. He is a free-case refugee who is living in the Transition House that New Life sponsors with Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County.

A week ago, Rashid first visited New Life for Sunday service and mentioned that he led worship in his church in Congo and that he'd like to play for New Life. Debbie and Mike Munns who lead the New Life Worship Team, took Rashid up on his offer and invited him to sing this week! With no rehearsal at all together, Rashid, Mike and Debbie led the congregation in a moving worship song that Rashid sang in French, much to the delight of the 9 other Congolese in the audience!

Serving the refugees of San Jose has blessed and enriched New Life Covenant Church in ways that cannot be ennumerated. This Sunday's special music was just one small way that the refugees we've met have given so much to this congregation.
