Thanks to each of you who regularly come to sojournmusic.com, whether you subscribe through our RSS Feed or have bookmarked us in another way. Our daily visitors have more than tripled since we relaunched last August and doubled since the first of 2008.
Sojourn has two new websites that you may be interested in as well. The newest is the web home of our visual arts ministry: sojournvisualarts.com. As you know from reading sojournmusic, we have our own art center called The 930, from which we host gallery exhibits and music shows. We also use The 930 for Sunday worship gatherings, staff offices, and for running an art center dedicated to helping visual artists grow. You can learn more about this and view many pieces of art created by Sojourn artists or shown in our gallery by visiting sojournvisualarts.com.
One of the exhibits you can check out is the Before the Throne exhibit, which was created in conjunction with our CD release of the same title last year. The launch of that project was a great time of music artists and visual artists coming together to catch the vision set forth by our worship arts pastor, Mike Cosper, in conjunction with an initiative by the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship. If you’re familiar with the CD Before the Throne, make sure you familiarize yourself with the visual art exhibit as well.
I’ve mentioned the other new Sojourn website a couple times in this blog but never given you a full introduction: seed.sojournchurch.com is the internet home of Seed, our urban renewal initiative. Seed seeks to partner with the city of Louisville to bring change and hope to our urban areas, loving on people and caring for the environment.
If you’re local to the Louisville metropolitan area, you can sign up for projects from the Seed website. If you’re a church planter, minister of another church, or anyone else interested in seeing how another church is trying to carry out the Bible mandate to practice mercy and compassion, be sure to visit the Seed site.
Visit the Seed and Sojourn Visual Arts websites anytime from the sojournmusic.com Helpful Links section (filed under “Additional Sojourn Websites”). And keep checking here daily for new blog posts and interviews, downloadable chord sheets, streamable mp3s and the Store section for our original worship music, as well as interesting links.
