A HEARTY AMEN!! TO THAT! It's not like there's a lack of songs out
there and a need to go looking elsewhere! The Lord has filled His
people with creative new songs of all styles...let's use them and
continue to write fresh ones to meet every need!

Hi, My name is Ruth Hartmann and have been involved in leading worship
for nearly 20 years (I started early :-) My main instruments are 12
string guitar (rhythm) and keyboard. I've also written some songs and
recently have written some worship songs we've been using in our church.
I served with Youth With A Mission in various locations for 7 years.
I've been married now nearly 14 years to a German I met in YWAM and
shortly afterward settled here in New Brunswick, Canada where we're
involved in the music ministry and leadership of a small Foursquare
Gospel Church. We now have 3 sons and 3 dogs...I'm also into breeding
and showing rottweilers :-) I love Jesus with all of my heart and am so
blessed in every area of my life. Praise Him!
