David Horn Brings Contemporary Guitar Music to Galilee Lutheran Church

hosted a special series of sermons by musician and pastor Reverend David Horn on April 9 and 10.

Horn travels the country with his wife, Sabra, as an evangelist performing and preaching at a variety of churches. He's produced three albums, including one for children.

"I don't know if I'd call what I do 'gospel music,'" said Horn. "My musical inspiration really came from folk singers, finger-style guitarists and songwriters.

"The first time I heard the gospel of Jesus set to music that I really loved was a fellow named Randy Stonehill back in the '70s," added Horn. "It made me realize that we could sing about Jesus in styles that we love."

Horn said that his music is able to reach a variety of congregation-goers, not just those who are interested in traditional gospel music.

"We're very happy to be in Pasadena," said Horn. "It's a very interesting and beautiful part of Maryland. I spent a lot of time in the west growing up, and it's very beautiful and natural out here in the east."

"We enjoyed the service tremendously," said congregation member Eileen Sanders. "All three of the services that he performed were excellent. He was great and we haven't heard any negative feedback about him."

Horn said that he enjoys travelling the country and his wife agreed.

"We love the lifestyle," said Sabra Horn. "We're enjoying it very much. By and large I'm surprised—the music appeals to people of all ages: young and old. We thought at first that it would only appeal to the younger generation, but it also appeals to older people because they know the older finger-style guitar players of the 1970s."

David Horn said that he and his wife will continue travelling the country to preach and perform for as long as possible.

"Our trip will continue as long as God provides," said David Horn.
