New MultiTracks from Paul Baloche - Your Mercy Friday, October 7, 2016 Worship leader and Dove Award-winning songwriter Paul Baloche has released a new album entitled Your Mercy which introduces a new season in his ministry as he and his wife recently relocated to New York City after serving in the same church and community in Texas for 26 years.

MultiTracks Available from Austin Stone Worship's New Kids Album - Only Jesus Friday, October 7, 2016 Only Jesus is the brand new kids worship album from Austin Stone Worship. It features 10 new songs that were created specifically for children and their families so they would have a powerful experience worshiping Jesus by singing, dancing, and exploring basic truths of the gospel. Austin Stone Creative Director of Family Ministries Jesse Reeves shares, "Our desire was more than to just make a good worship album for kids. In the end we wanted a full resource that would invite kids and parents to discover truths about God together as a family. We wanted music that families could sing along to in the car and at home, music that centered everyone’s hearts on the truths of Scripture.” With this in mind, Austin Stone Worship has released a companion devotional guide for the album that will allow families to study the meaning of each song together along with interactive dance videos that will teach them how to dance and sing along.
