Jubilee Campaign's Night of Worship for the Persecuted Church

So I am new to this blogging phenomenon, but I want to use this to update about the work I'll be doing this year on human rights issues from the District. For starters, here's a great event to attend if you can make it tonight, hosted by Jubilee Campaign USA:

On Friday, October 9 @ 7PM, Jubilee Campaign will host a night of music and worship at Sovereign Grace Church in Fairfax, VA. Chasing Vermont, a local band with a heart for the persecuted, will lead the night in engaging worship in loud, intimate, energizing, and hopefully entrancing ways that will aim to open a wide connection between us and God. This event will be a great place to release yourself from inhibition and your everyday drudgery, and to lean into an environment of passion, music, and prayer. Expression stations will be open for you to journal, pray, or draw. We will hear testimonies of the persecuted from Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea and enter into a time of corporate prayer to intercede for the persecuted church.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the music or build a playlist on your ipod, here is the set list:
You Won’t Relent/Misty Edwards
All Consuming Fire/Misty Edwards
Sweetly Broken/Jeremy Riddle
One of These Days/Small Town Poets
Blessed Be the Name/Tree63

Deliver Me (It is Well Remix)/David Crowder Band
