Tonight marks the end on an era. Tonight at Encounter, Aaron Bishop will bless us one last time with his heartfelt worship.
I've had the honor or working with Aaron pretty much from the beginning; we've been trading off Encounter worship duties for as long as I can remember. I've worked at a number of churches over the years and have never met anyone that "gets it" as much as Aaron...myself included! Aaron continually raised the bar and challenged me to seek the Heart of worship; to be transparent and let all the cares of the day fall away. When Aaron leads, his authenticity is unmistakable. You know that he has a deep love and conviction for Christ that is evidenced in his playing and singing. I joke with him that he has a repertoire all his own like "Sweet Holy Spirit" and "The Wonderful Cross"...songs that he gravitates toward as a worship leader. It's during these "Aaron Songs" that we see the true joy that corporate worship brings to him. That joy fills the sanctuary, penetrating the even the coldest of hearts. Its' that joy that I've found so inspiring and has driven me to bee the kind of worship leader that Aaron is.
Aaron & Lisa, Nora & Ian will be missed by the Encounter community, but we're excited about this new chapter God is penning in their story.

Thank you Aaron for your dedication, talent and mostly your genuine heart in leading all these years! I enjoyed hearing the set of "Aaron songs" one last time.
