STEPHEN BLACKWELL STARTED THE BAND PICKED LAST in January of 2005 AFTER BEING ASKED TO PLAY A CONCERT IN BURNET,TX. Following ONE SHOW WITH THAT VERSION OF PICKED LAST THEY BROKE UP. BUT STEPHEN DIDN\'T GIVE UP ON THIS VISION GOD GAVE HIM and IN MARCH OF THAT YEAR RUSS COLLINS AND DUANE WELLS JOINED UP TO HELP STEPHEN PLAY A BENEFIT SHOW IN DENTON,TX. FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THEY PLAYED some shows locally and felt God leading them to pursue Picked Last further. That summer Zach Caldwell joined the band to play bass, moving Russ to lead guitar, and freeing Stephen up to just lead vocally. Picked Last is a Christian Rock Worship band Picked Last. The band name comes from Matthew 19:30, which states,"And many of the first will be last, and the last will be first." They seek not to be what the world wants but rather what it needs; Christians leading people to the throne of God through worship and fellowship. They also feel that they are to be Picked Last in their own lives meaning their needs be put last, especially after our Savior Jesus Christ. They led worship for a College/Young Adult Service called Rescue at Sunnyvale FBC for a year and have the experience to bring a high impact worship service as well as an extremely entertaining concert that is relevant and meaningful to your students. Picked Last would be the perfect fit for your next youth event. They are available for D-nows, Youth Camps, retreats AND OTHER EVENTS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BOOKING THEM FOR AN EVENT CONTACT STEPHEN BLACKWELL AT SBLACKWELL2277@YAHOO.COM.
A Prayer to Help You Comfort Others - Your Daily Prayer - April 25
Have you ever wondered if there is any purpose in your suffering? We certainly don’t go looking for suffering—it comes to us because life is a journey through difficulties and triumphs. Sufferings are a reminder of what Jesus Christ went through and it is a way for us to encourage others.
