It's that time of year again - time for a Bittersweet Gospel Band Tour. The footage from the fall music video weekend is in the hands of the videographer, David Sollenberger, and we'll let you know when to look for our youtube video of "Jesus In The Line;" but now its time to play again.
We're going to Puerto Rico to visit the Church of the Brethren congregations from January 14-21. We'll play several times, including the Assemblea - the annual meeting of the island churches - at Castaner. Really looking forward to it with Gilbert, Dan and Abby, Leah, Trey and Kathy and Quade, and me - Scott.
We'll also be doing two Pre-Tour Concerts in Virginia before we fly out to San Juan. We'll be at Sunrise Church of the Brethren in Harrisonburg, VA, on January 12 at 6:30 PM; then we'll be at the Staunton Church of the Brethren, VA, on January 13 at 3:00 PM. We hope you'll come and worship with us in music. The Pre-Tour band will be Gilbert, Trey, Scott, and Kevin. God is good! All the time!

About the Band
- Bittersweet Gospel Band
- The Bittersweet Gospel Band began as an extension of Bittersweet Ministries, at the time a rehabilitation home for men in East Los Angeles. The home, founded by Pastor Gilbert Romero, was a half-way house, a safe place, where men young and old could find stability, self-discipline and healing from their broken lives as gang members, drug users, alcoholics,and the abuse they suffered from the hands of others. Pastor Gilbert came out of this same world when God called him to ministry. In the mid-1990's, the Band began to minister to the main stream of the Church of the Brethren, and to other denominational and non-denominational churches as well, with a focus on reaching out to youth and breaking down walls of cultural division. With the Band's music and Gilbert's preaching, Bittersweet concerts take on a revival atmosphere. Pastor Gilbert is a dynamic speaker and presenter, as well as a smooth vocalist, percussionist, and songwriter. Joining him since 1997 is Pastor Scott Duffey, who plays guitar, sings, and also writes some of the music. Scott and Gilbert are from different worlds, but God has put them together as a model for intercultural ministry.
