Dr. Darril Deaton is a Pastor and Worship Leader in Litchfield, Connecticut.He says that in the process of moving to a more blended style of worship, Friendship Baptist Church has found the Transitions series to be a great help."I only wish their ministry had been available earlier in our process," says Dr. Deaton."I was able to use the Foundations medley CD the first week that I had it.I was called upon to lead worship in a situation where there was no band or accompanist.After familiarizing myself with the way the medley would flow we were able to use the instrument side of the split track and easily follow the music.All that is necessary is to add a PowerPoint presentation, overheads, or song pages."
