MOBILE, Ala. (September 8, 2008) - Integrity Music announces the October 14 release of Times of Refreshing, a live worship album featuring artist and songwriter Stephen Hurd. The CD, his third with Integrity, following the critically acclaimed My Destiny and A Call To Worship.
Times of Refreshing offers 20 tracks of energetic praise and intimate worship recorded live at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where Hurd serves as Music Minister.
Hurd, who co-produced and arranged the album with Justin Savage, invited 250 worship leaders, music directors and musicians from around the country to join him for the recording. The result is an impactful musical offering that deliberately mixes hymns, contemporary worship and traditional Gospel to bring together generations, races and denominations.
“I have felt for a while the need to bring together worship leaders who serve pastors and congregations every week,” says Hurd of the decision to record the project with other “lead worshipers.”
“I wanted to do something that would refresh them so that they, in turn, could refresh their congregations, making the pastors’ job easier to introduce Jesus to the waiting people. This was an opportunity to love on them and pour into their lives.”
In addition to collaborating on production and arrangements, Hurd and Savage also co-wrote most of the songs for the album.
Times of Refreshing will be available everywhere Christian music is sold beginning October 14 with distribution to Christian retail stores through Provident-Integrity Distribution and distribution to mainstream outlets through SONY-BMG. In addition, the album will be sold through internet retailers including www.integritydirect.com and will be distributed abroad to 160 other countries by Integrity International. The UPC for Times of Refreshing is 000768450529.
Stephen Hurd is a Dove and Stellar nominated worship artist and songwriter. In addition to his role at First Baptist, he often serves as an instructor/facilitator for choir and worship seminars including Integrity’s Seminars 4 Worship.
