BATTLE GROUND – A “joyful noise onto the Lord” was heard Saturday, June 13 at Battle Ground’s Saving Grace Church of the Nazarene, where 60 people, representing four churches and three denominations, came together as one Body of Christ to worship and praise God.
The band included two drummers, a bassist, a guitarist, a pianist and four vocalists, along with approximately 60 voices raising up music, arms, eyes and hearts to God in exuberant praise, thanksgiving and worship.
“We may conduct services differently, have different traditions and cultures in our churches, but we all believe the rock, the foundation, the focal point is always Jesus, his servant life and his sacrificial death on the cross,” said Pastor Will Swaney, of Saving Grace Church. “We rocked the rafters of our church for this worship service, but I truly believe the impact was felt in all the churches represented here that evening.”
Active participating church communities were:
- Saving Grace Church of the Nazarene
- Amboy Church of the Nazarene
- Lewis River Fellowship (Nazarene)
- The Remnant
