Pender Music: 10, 000 Reasons

At Pender’s common ground contemporary worship on September 10, 2023 the Pender Praise Band sang 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord).

Led by AJ Rios on keyboards, the band consists of Megan Parker, Jane McKee (autoharp) and Arlet Williams.

“10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” is a worship song co-written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin, first recorded by Redman for his 10,000 Reasons album, released in 2011 on Kingsway Music, and subsequently included on a number of compilations, covered by other artists and included as congregational worship music in English or in translation around the world.

In 2013, the song won two Grammy Awards for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Song” and “Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance”.

After the song’s success and impact, Redman also published a book: 10,000 Reasons: Stories of Faith, Hope, and Thankfulness Inspired by the Worship Anthem.

Going shopping this weekend? Remember the Pender ReGift Thrift Store.

Pender ReGift Thrift Store is an outreach ministry of Pender United Methodist Church. Our nonprofit mission is the distribution of material goods to the poor, locally, nationally, and internationally. We are the only church around with a 5,000 sq ft warehouse and a loading dock. Working with for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners, we maximize our nonprofit potential. Our thrift store supports our nonprofit mission. We are family friendly.

Being thrifty, seeking value, or frugality, are all generally given a bad rap, but in this tough economic climate, you can defend your right to be smart.
