Titus Chapman

Fred met Titus Chapman last year at a week long spiritual retreat and they became such friends that Titus has now visited Midland twice, the first time by himself and this week with four friends.  All of them are professional musicians who work in various capacities in the business but they all are committed to their faith and also lend their talents to their vocations as praise leaders.  Dorem McGuire plays drums, Bill Fudge the guitar, Randy Weaver is saxaphone and Titus and Craig take turns on the keyboard and with the vocals.

Titus and Craig both shared a bit about the role Jesus plays in their lives and the importance of their faith.  Craig comes from a pastor's family and rebelled against the teachings but said that in the last few years the teachings he'd been exposed to in his youth, combined with the prayers of his mother and grandmother had reached his heart and that he has found what he was searching for when he had been pursuing his addictions. 

Titus gave us a version of Amazing Grace the way, he said, that his grandmother would have sung it - feeling the words and Craig sang a composition of his own called Bread of Life that came from his own experience.  The band helped out on these and two or three other songs. 

They will be at Knox on Saturday night and encourage everybody to come out.
