2019 is off to a great start with new worship projects coming out of local churches. The songs on these albums–and the stories behind the music–are powerful. Check into these. All are available on Spotify, iTunes, etc.

Matt & Kim Goss (of LCBC) – “The Worship EP”. My favorite song is “Your Presence”. I loved it from the second it started playing on my car stereo: laid back guitar picking and Matt singing about the sunrise and sunset. It has a beautiful vibe! There’s something very special about it–but little did I know…the story behind this song is so wonderful!

Community Songs (of Community Fellowship Church) – “From The Valley EP”. Dan & Lauren Smith sing “Faithful” on this project. It’s a song rooted in 2 Timothy 2:11-13, encouraging us that God is faithful, even when we aren’t. He’s with us–in the valley, but also in our everyday life. His goodness gets us through. The music video for this song is gorgeous! Wooden pews, high arches, a glossy baby grand piano and vibrant stained glass.

Life Center Worship – Debut EP. This is a long-awaited project from my home church. We’ve been singing these songs in our services through so many seasons! One of the songs that people have been excited to finally have a recording of is “You Delight In Me” by Tif Aitken.

Local singer-songwriters and worship leaders, Dan & Lauren Smith, have just released the 2nd installment in The Revive Project series: All My Hope!  It features the new song, “On Your Side“, which we’ve been playing on WJTL lately.  All My Hope focuses on experiencing hope through trusting in God’s faithfulness.  Click here to learn more and to find their music online.

Tune in to WJTL all day long on Winning Wednesday, October 15th, for chances to call in and win a new Dan & Lauren Smith All My Hope CD or T-shirt!  Giveaways will happen between 6AM and 10PM.  Keep our phone number handy: 392-FM90 (717-392-3690).

Good morning!  Today’s 4-hour worship program includes a “Heart” theme for the 6:00 hour and a “Water” theme for the 8:00 hour.  Plus, worship songs from Michael W. Smith, as we look forward to his live worship night (also featuring Dan & Lauren Smith) tonight at Grace Fellowship Church in York!  Doors open at 6:00, the concert it at 7:00.  Tickets will be available at the door tonight.  (Concert details here.)

Today I’m also sharing Psalm 42:11 in hopes of encouraging your heart.  Take a look at the Message translation of this verse:

“Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
    Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God—
    soon I’ll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
    He’s my God.”

I’d love to hear from you if there are song questions you have or anything else for that matter!  I also email the playlist out weekly.  If you’d like to be included, just let me know.  You may also have favorite worship songs or leaders that I’ve yet to play on the program.  Drop me a line. 😀
