Sarah and Johnny Macintosh

Sometimes, God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he? I was browsing through churches in my area to see what other youth ministries are doing - I've jumped back into student ministry after a six year hiatus, and I couldn't remember what Colorado offered in the way of activities - when I stumbled upon the Calvary Chapel Aurora website which told me that Sarah Macintosh was going to do a worship concert. Sweet.

For those of you who don't know she is, perhaps this might help, perhaps not - her name before she was married was Sarah Meeker, and she was the lead singer for a band she was in with her brother and sister called Chasing Furies. They only put out one CD, but I still listen to it to this day, it's amazing. She married a man by the name of Johnny Macintosh, who was the guitarist in a band called Reality Check - and then when that band disbanded was in a band called Luna Halo. Again, two great bands.

Anyway, they've been worship leaders in San Diego for awhile now, and Sarah just put out a new CD, you can check her Myspace page for more information. I bought the CD, it's really good so far. At the concert, Sarah and her husband did a couple of worship songs that were very familiar (Blessed Be Your Name, How Great Is Our God), then they did a few hymns, and then a few off of Sarah's new CD. Her songs are very good - very worshipful and interesting lyrics-wise.

Anyway, it was good to see them in concert tonight. I needed to be able to just step back and worship God freely.
