Lebanon congregation grieves loss
of 30-year-old praise leader


Trevor Blankenship worked all day on the highways for a paving company. On Thursday afternoons, he jumped in his truck and hurried off to lead the praise band for Recovery at Lebanon.

 

"Sometimes he barely made it, but he said the recovery worship rejuvenated him," says the Rev. Wil Cantrell. "He said he had never been part of a service where people understood how badly they need God."
