The Ever Changing Band

BAR CHURCH CONFESSIONS # 8
True Stories from Tybee Bar Church

Eric doesn't know what to expect on his first visit to Bar Church.

He'd been asked to bring his guitar and a song or two so he has both with him just in case.

Stumbling inside of Benny's Tybee Tavern on a sunny Spring day, it takes his eyes a moment to adjust but he hears Micheal's voice, "Hey Eric! Welcome! You met Davy?"

Davy is a Bar Church co-founder and the drummer ... meaning he's wacky as Hell but keeps a mean beat and everyone loves him dearly.

"I've heard of you," Eric says as they shake hands.

"Uh-oh," Davy moans.

Davy's life ambition is to lay low but life has this way of finding him anyway.

Thomas Oliver sleepily stumbles inside and we naturally think he's confused because he's never up this early.

Tom Cooler breezes in looking like he just his gig as a Lumberjack

Tommy Hall hauls in multiple instruments followed by Gordo and his lovely bride Mrs. Jaime.

Today's Bar Church Band is born!

Next to nothing is practiced, tried or planned at Bar Church. There is a bulletin but there's no order of worship because ... God only knows what's going to happen.

We tried practice once before the Easter Sunrise Service but it made people mad so there's uncertainty if it'll ever happen again.

The service begins and somehow ... we don't know how ... it all comes together.

Here's Eric soulfully singing a song perfect for the occasion but listen to Thomas, Gordo and Tommy perfectly complement it.

We think it's nothing short of what choirs of Angels consistently deliver.

Every Sunday the bands different because each week the players change.

It's one of the things making Bar Church such a special worship experience.

Thank you Eric for gracing us and, well you already know, you're always welcome to celebrate home with us.
