On a the rainy Sunday morning of February 19, 2012, we convened “Blues Sunday” with a sermon from the book of Job. What do those who are suffering a trial, hardship or simply “the blues” need from us? What might we need when we are the ones who are hurting? Since Reverend Danny Reed says we can’t talk about the Blues without hearing the Blues, we’ve invited special musicians, “The Blues Buckets“, an electric Texas/Chicago style blues band to join us. We’ve asked them not to hold back just because they’ll be in church, it should be a spirited morning.
Please note that unlike the past recorded sermons, this recording actually starts with the offertory music, which in this case is the song “Something Is Wrong With My Baby” performed by The Blues Buckets with backup signers the “Buckettes” aka Susan Findley and Jean Pendleton. Also, unfortunately the very end of the service is cut off on this recording. The service ran a bit long, and the disc ran out of space. We apologize for that very short missing-tape.
