A 72-year-old drummer plays with the worship team during church service. She’s proven that age doesn’t matter when serving the Lord!
72-Year-Old Elderly Drummer
Evangelist Jason Beardsley went live on Facebook on July 10 during one of the church services of Calvary United Pentecostal Church. The live video surprised many watching online because of the 72-year-old elderly man was playing drums on the worship team.
The drummer recorded in the live video was Connie Bailey. Worship leaders sang as she played passionately and skillfully with the drums. Hence, it’s no wonder she caught hundreds of thousands’ attention on social media.Going Viral On Social Media
The Facebook live video has reached over 260,000 views with thousands of reactions and hundreds of comments.
A Facebook user named Becky Keaton Phillips described the old lady as “FIERCE.” And another by Donovan Burkett commented in humor, saying, “Move over boys, granny got dis.”
User Susan Teresa also wrote, “I try to never judge a book by its cover so I find I don’t get surprised often..but omg!!! The Druming Grandma!!!! wow.. thats cool af.”
Watching Connie serve the Lord with the strength at her age is truly encouraging. She epitomizes a faithful Christian who doesn’t stop living for Him just because she’s “old”.
Connie is teaching us that as believers of Christ, it is possible to serve God for a lifetime.
As the lyrics of the song “10,000 Reasons” said, “And on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near and my time has come, still my soul will sing Your praise unending.”
May this be the desire of our hearts all the days of our lives for the Glory of His Name!
