Rich Jones is a lead worshipper at St John's in Bradford. He also leads worship at city wide gatherings and serves in local organisations like The Lighthouse Group and Bradford YFC. To boot, he is currently engaged in training and raising up lead worshippers in the Bradford and Leeds areas. This EP contains four songs written or co-written by Rich, and all will feature on a full-length CD planned for the near future. Worship songs are to be judged by how genuinely worshipful they are, and "Holy Is Your Name" is a simple yet beautiful song of adoration. The more reflective "Mary's Son" is also worshipful, but is so subdued that it loses appeal. In truth, the synth sounds do get a tad wearisome - a full band would greatly aid proceedings. But clearly Rich has plenty to give the worshipping Church.
