Hi!\u00a0 Welcome to the Melody Lines Music Blog!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> My name is Pam Rentzel and I\u2019ve been a Pentecostal Musician for more years than many of you have been alive!\u00a0 I guess you could call me \u201cOld School.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>
\n\u00a0 <\/span>
\nAbout 20 years ago, I started a newsletter called \u201cMelody Lines\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>written especially for musicians who minister by playing piano, organ or keyboard in Pentecostal churches.\u00a0 In 1999 we launched our first website dedicated to Pentecostal Musicians at www.pentecostalmusicians.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Our on-line Newsletter was also called \u201cMelody Lines\u201d<\/strong><\/em> and discussed subjects pertinent to being a successful Pentecostal Musician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the advent of social media tools, we have decided to do a Pentecostal Musicians <\/strong><\/em>Facebook page and\u00a0blog!\u00a0\u00a0 If you are interested in being part of this music group on Facebook, please click\u00a0on “Play This–Not That!<\/a>” \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and send a request to be added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though styles and the flavors of music change with every decade (or more often), the basics of playing music which lifts up Jesus, ministers to the church family and touches the hearts of the unsaved\u00a0 remains the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a new adventure so we need YOUR feedback!\u00a0 You will find downloadable music lead sheets available and\u00a0in the near future, we\u00a0plan to\u00a0have short downloadable video tutorials.\u00a0 If you see something that does not seem to be working correctly or if you place an order and do not receive your purchased item,\u00a0 it is imperative that you let us know!<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of this blog is to promote interaction, encouragement and inspiration among fellow Pentecostal Musicians.\u00a0 We invite you to participate with your uplifting comments, music-related testimonies, and pertinent questions or by suggesting subjects for discussion.\u00a0 Please NOTE:\u00a0 Your first comment must be approved before being posted.\u00a0 Thereafter, all comments are moderated for appropriateness and may be removed.\u00a0 Be courteous and respectful to all readers and commenters.\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for your ministry!!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
