Stephen Hurd releases new live album recorded in Maryland

GOSPEL worship man Stephen Hurd will have his third album released through Integrity Music in October. 'Times Of Refreshing' offers 20 tracks of energetic praise and intimate worship recorded live at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where Hurd serves as music minister. Hurd, who co-produced and arranged the album with Justin Savage, invited 250 worship leaders, music directors and musicians from around the country to join him for the recording. Said Hurd, "I have felt for a while the need to bring together worship leaders who serve pastors and congregations every week. I wanted to do something that would refresh them so that they, in turn, could refresh their congregations, making the pastors' job easier to introduce Jesus to the waiting people. This was an opportunity to love on them and pour into their lives."
