We are really excited about Birmingham Vineyard Worship’s New EP,
entitled ‘The Scattering’
Out on 18/04/21
This year, we’ve all been scattered away from church and into our own homes. We’ve had to learn what it looks like to connect with God in an environment with lots of distractions, not to mention the external pressures and stresses of this season. We believe that this was, in some way, what the Christian faith was intended to be: experiencing God in the every day, and not just on a Sunday.
Therefore, we wanted to release an EP that would help people to experience God as they found themselves scattered across our city, finding God in the day to day, and enabling the normal to become a sacred space of connection.
These songs focus on themes of finding our hearts desires in God alone, encountering Him to find rest and peace, and fostering a relationship of dependence with Jesus. All of these things have never been as relevant, and as necessary to our lives, as they have been in this season.
The sound of this EP is very chilled out, great for having on in the background while you spend time with God, eat dinner, or do the dishes. We hope that through the song themes, and the sonic experience, that you will find peace and connection with Jesus.
This project is special to us in a number of ways:
Firstly, all the songs have been written by gifted songwriters who are part of our church community. As a result, these songs represent the story, values and beliefs of our church.
Secondly, everyone involved is part of our church: all the musicians, songwriters, producers, audio & video teams - and the vast majority being volunteers. They are teachers, professionals, creatives, carers, parents, singles and married. There is strength in a project when those who contribute are coming from many different experiences and walks of life.
Thirdly, all of it was recorded during lockdown, and a number of songs were written over Zoom. We’re so proud of the amazing team who put this all together despite being in a lockdown: overlooking their own uncertainties and time commitments in order to bring us into connection with God.
This EP will be on all the usual music platforms, including
iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube and more.
We’d love to encourage you, if possible to buy a digital copy, as this money will help the team to develop future releases and continue to release music that brings God’s Kingdom.
