Praise musicians from Left to Right: Joan Cape (vocals), Andrew
Dunsire (guitar and vocals), Caroline Toms, Neil
Cape (guitars), Ian Cape (Percussion), Stephen Elson (guitar and vocals), Sam McDonald (drums), and Graham

The
monthly praise evening service was held on Sunday 25th. Musicians from
the Penicuik churches plus this month a musician more often heard
playing for a West End show in London! Ian Cape a percussionist with
the orchestra playing in the current Les Miserable show in London
joined father Neil on bass guitar, whilst mum Joan led the group and
praise evening. Caroline Toms, Stephen Elson,and Andrew Dunsire were on
their guitars, Graham McDonald on piano and making sure they all kept
to the right beat, Sam McDonald once again kept them all in time on the
drums.
A selection of uplifting praise got us in the right
mood, including ‘to God be the Glory’. Bless the lord, oh
my soul’ and a new one for us ‘El Shaddai’ for which
we really needed the projected words on the wall. Joan read from the
book of Samuel, before we sang ‘The man who calmed the
sea’.
Andrew Knox from the North Church spoke to us
about the Listening Service and how the Penicuik Listeners were set
up. This band of volunteers provide a valuable service just
listening and reflecting to people going through troubled times. Andrew
told us how the volunteers have been through what sounded an onerous,
but very thorough series of training courses and events to make sure
they meet the high standard required.
A prayer time was
followed by the closing praise ‘I the Lord of the sea and
sky’ before we all enjoyed refreshments.
There will be no Praise evening at the end of December but the team plan to be back for end January.
