I had never heard “Two Little Fishes and Five Loaves of Bread” by Benny Goodman until today…at church!
The sermon was from John 6 about the feeding of the 5000, a well-known bible story to most everyone. The kicker was during the offering time when our GREAT music team pulled out this gospel tune from the 1940′s. It was a truly unique juxtaposition of two worlds that mean the world to me – my faith and music. I only wish my dad could be alive to hear such a swinging celebration of praise through a big-band arrangement of this gospel gem.
If you are curious, go to the church website and check it out. Look under the Resources Tab then media. Find the service for January 10 2009. The tune is at the 18 minute point in the service. I hope this blesses you as much as it blessed me.
