Foster Worship Team!

Well this is Walt Culbertson....he is my bass player, but also he is in the youth group with me, he's a koo kid....Lord willing he will be able to take over the worship for me on a youth groups....Rock on for Jesus buddy...




Well this is the whole team that I play with on Monday practices and then Sunday morning. They are a great and talented team! God has truly blessed them with great voices and hands that play instruments very well. I blessed to be able to worship with them.
Here are there names: Backleft: Daniel (ME!), Matt Culbertson (Vocals/Guitar), Jake Brezillac (Drummer), Melinda Morton (Vocals), Walt (Bass/Vocals), Amy Culbertson (Vocals), Charlie "Chuck" Culbertson (maybe on worship team when he grows up!), Maddie Culbertson (vocals), Ashely Capps (Vocals...Denise Yates' daughter). Great team! Love ya'll!

And here is Chaplain Charlie Owens, he leads Foster Protestant Chapel service. He's a great guy....I'm really like his new church attendant, and he is my new pastor for a season! He was actually pastoring at Horizon Fellowship (San Diego...Mike Macintosh) when he decided to serve the Lord in the Navy Chaplain program. I know he loves it, but it comes with alot of responsibility! God bless Charlie!

Well this is my normal sunday morning, first service....ill put up some second service kid's ministry up a little later....keep posted!
