The Remnants
Worship Team
The Remnants are a rag-tag group of worshippers who identify with the ideology of Matthew 3:3. Our purpose is to lead our congregation in "clearing the path" and engaging with them in worship. We identify with John the Baptist who lived on the outskirts clothed in camels hair. We are the worshippers who simply point and say "Prepare the way for our Lord". Some of us use voices and others use instruments, but we ALL feel inadequate, which is why we praise under the banner of the Word which says "In our weakness HE IS STRONG". We are scraps. We are Leftovers. We are children of the Most high God. We are the Remnants.
