As many of you know from my twitter feed or my Facebook posts, it has been a busy 2013 and 2014 for me. I have finished my first two devotional books and they are now available to the world. I have also been doing a large amount of songwriting, many of these efforts are starting to see the light of day, including a Country Song I co-wrote with the Scottish band Ashton Lane, now available on iTunes.
Below is a quick update and link for all the events and products that are available as well as an update on the various projects that I continue to work on or be a part of. Enjoy and God Bless, and remember, Worship is a lifestyle!

"New England Gospel Jubilee" - I continue to sing tenor/back up vocals and be a part of The New England Gospel Jubilee (NEGJ.) The NEGJ is a southern gospel / country gospel music event that is held weekly on Thursday nights in the Wallingford/Meriden, CT area. The Truth Band is the house band that provides the music and we worship in a Country / Southern Gospel style. Why not come out, hear some music, hear a brief biblical message and see what we're all about. Check out the Facebook page for more details and locations.

"Trinity Worship Songwriters' Series" - I have begun leading and facilitating a monthly Worship/Christian Songwriter's forum/group based out of my church, Trinity Evangelical Free Church, in Woodbridge, CT, The Trinity Worship Songwriters' Series (TWSS.) During our monthly meetings, we discuss writing worship songs as well as writing Christian based songs. We discuss topics such as writing from scripture, the technical process of writing a song, roadblocks in writing and more. There is also a time where the songwriters will share some songs that are flowing from our hearts. If you are a Worship/Christian songwriter in the New Haven or southern/central CT area and want to join us to rub elbows with other Christian songwriters, drop me a line and I will be happy to tell you more about it. You may contact me at tim@tgmusicmedia.com.
