Crossfire Brings In The Spirit At Premier Baptist Church |
New York -As daylight dimmed, on Saturday May 30, the half-moon showered a bright silver glow over the Premier Baptist Church (PBC) at the corner of Tilden and Utica Avenues in Brooklyn, where the Rev. Robert Watler pastors. Inside, parishioners waited patiently past the 7 PM start time for the opening of a fund raising concert featuring Crossfire Steel Orchestra. Sensing the tension of the delay, Khuent Rose, the musical director of Premier Baptist Church and the arranger for Crossfire took to his double second. Accompanied by drums and bass and lead guitar, Khuent delivered a reggae-flavored version of “Glory To His Name”. With the space warmed and opened to praises, Assistant Pastor Gideon Akers assumed his master of ceremonies duties declaring, “The Holy Ghost Power is in the house tonight, what we can’t do with words , we will do with music.” |
