On the rare occasion that I have off a Sunday from my own church, I’ve attended at other local churches. Progressive Baptist was one such outing for me and my family. We were warmly received and the worship was uplifting and engaging. Later, when I served on the planning board for the Martin Luther King Breakfast, I worked with Lucy Zanders (a member at Progressive). When she heard about my album project she was gracious enough to put me in touch with Jo Ann Johnson and the choir at Progressive… and well, they just blew me out of the chair! Such power and passion, steeped in prayer, this choir (and band) has an uplifting ministry that inspires in so many ways. It is an honor to have them as a part of the project. May you all be blessed as you have blessed others through this music ministry!
