Kristen and Bobby Gilles’ son Parker was stillborn nearly a year and a half ago.
Parker’s Mercy Brigade is an album that speaks of the lament and hope they have experienced.
They have been supported in its production by their family of churches, Sojourn.
The album releases today.
These are songs that delve through experiences and emotions that are not commonly shared by the church gathered or scattered.
Working our way through Psalms on Sunday nights at mgpc it has been obvious how much provision is given for expressions of sorrow by God’s people. This reflects the experiences of life this side of Jesus’ return.
As such this is an album of songs the church benefits from hearing, for comfort, for encouragement, and for the invitation to allow the rawness of life to be present as we worship and encourage one another.
Have a listen.
Perhaps these songs speak to the season you or others are going through.
