PRAYER THROUGH MUSIC - CO-CREATION
Co-Creation began in 2001 at the dawn of the 21st century. The group's home base is Resurrection Presbyterian Church in Petersburg, MI.
The band is made up of Greg White (percussion), Paul Mikels (flute) and Scott Williams (keyboard). Greg and Paul each add their creative
touches to the compositional techniques of Scott. By combining their talents, Co-Creation creates some of the most compelling, yet relaxing
music, much of it improvisation. All three members of the group bring with them many years of performing in church situations as a result
of their educational backgrounds. The 11:00 am worship service will be one of celebration utilizing their original music as they introduce
