"I will express my riddle on the harp." PS 49:4
This phrase gripped us when we were looking for a name. We are a group of three women who already were involved in our church worship team, but wanted to take the gift of music into our community. We found ourselves deeply drawn to the sound of celtic music in particular, though we also have found many other genres that we love to play. As our enjoyment of the music shone through, doors started opening in many new directions.
Now we praise the Lord, the creator of music, with our instruments and our hearts as we find ourselves hired to play at many secular festivals, weddings, coffeehouses etc. We play quite an assortment of celtic jigs and reels and waltzes, yiddish tunes, hymns, original songs, Latin music, etc. This new "extra" ministry we have is a way to let God's Light shine through our love of music, our lives, our instruments, and our joy wherever we perform.
God continues to do miracles in our midst. In March 2007 we were contacted by the local ABC television station for an interview during St Patrick's Day weekend. Our prayers were answered that they did not edit out our references to God as the reason for our music!
In April 2007 came miracle number two - the local National Public Radio station wanted to do a radio interview. The interview aired on WVTF 89.1 FM as part of the "Studio Virginia" program on May 31. We KNOW that these doors are not opening because of who we are, but because of who HE is.
So, it seems we all should keep making music and keep enjoying it! He will be faithful to lead and to open (or sometimes shut) doors as needed!
