A heartfelt welcome to you as you visit Shining River, the official web site for the music of Lisa Prokopowitz.

I am a Christian singer, songwriter, and guitarist who is devoted to sharing Jesus; His love, faithfulness, and goodness through music. By the grace of God may this web site always lead you to The River, that is , the "River of the Water of Life" spoken of in
Revelation 22:1.

Shining River is a place where you will find life and sustenance, where you will be filled with Living Water, especially when all around you seems to be barren and dry.
It is my hope that this site will encourage and minister to you, and that you will come back to it again and again.

Non-Musical Writings

If you hang around me long enough, you'll realize that I LOVE to write! Not only music, but also encouraging words to inspire others to draw near to Jesus. Check out my "Manna Blog" for brief words of encouragement, as well as my "Meditations Archive" for links to more extensive prior writings. See an overview of all these writings at my "Meditations" page.

If you would like to be informed when I post new blog entries or meditations (as well as info about upcoming events, etc.) be sure to join my E-mail List.

WHAT'S NEW?

As of May 31, 2023

Manna From My Father's Hand

After a LONG time of not posting on the Manna Blog here at Shining River, I posted a series of several blog posts from my "MeWe" (social media) profile. This is likely the beginning of either a more consistent blog or a podcast (or both). This is still in the formative stages, and would appreciate your prayers.

You can find the entries from the past few days posted here on Shining River at the following link:

A personal call to my prayer "warrior" friends

This is a quick heads up that there may be some new things happening soon around here, and having your prayers lifted up on my behalf would be greatly appreciated. There is a likely possiblity that I'll be beginning some form of prayer and or support membership type groups where we can have a more regular contact, and folks can have input on what types of content would best build up the Body of Christ, and help them as they follow Jesus.

Thanks for your prayers in that regard!

UPCOMING GIGS

A Concert for Emily

I want to quickly update those who have been praying for me for the concert that had been scheduled for this coming Saturday, May 20, 2023 (thanks for your prayers, BTW!)

I found out this morning that the concert is being rescheduled for a date in August or September (will post the new info when it is firmed up.)

There was an issue with outside forces trying to affect the ticket sale process. Don't want to go into it in depth, but suffice to say, there are people out there who don't want to do good (sadly), but our God knows BEST, and will accomplish His will.

I had wanted to attend something else with our women's ministry from church this weekend and it was conflicting with my involvement with the concert, so I'm fine with the rescheduling actually;).

Thanks again for your prayers, and hope that the change doesn't affect your own plans if you were planning on attending. Will post the new date on my gigs page when it is determined.

Oracle Band in Concert--Ocean Grove, NJ

Saturday, June 17, 2023, 7:00 PM. Boardwalk Pavilion, Ocean Grove, NJ. I'll be playing with the Oracle Band in concert for an evening of music at the Jersey Shore. Join us as we lift up the name of Jesus while the sun sets to our west and the ocean resounds to our east. For directions, visit https://www.oceangrove.org/directions

Lisa Prokopowitz Outdoor Solo Concert--Ocean Grove, NJ

Friday, June 30, 2023, 1:30 PM. Boardwalk Pavilion, Ocean Grove, NJ. Yet again, I'll be singing at one of my favorite outdoor locations. Lifting up the name of Jesus at the Jersey Shore. Hope you can join me in the pavilion on your way to or from the beach, enjoying the incredible beauty of God's glorious creation in this blessed community.

NEW PAGE on MeWe

I recently decided to go on a social media platform called "MeWe.com".

Sorry to those of you FB users, I wasn't as satisfied with their terms, so opted to go to this platform instead. (You do have to join to be able to see posts, but membership is free.) If you happen to be on there, come say "hi", and check out the page I'm developing for Shining River there:

Check out the "Shining River Videos" page to gain access to all of Lisa Prokopowitz's videos. On some browsers, Youtube doesn't necessarily show all of the available videos, so check this page to view those you haven't seen before!

Youtube Videos on other Youtube channels

Feel free to check out some Youtube videos on another Youtube channel, that I discovered which had been posted by one of the attendees at one of LGM's Worship in the Woods Retreats.... Here is another version of my song, "Mercy and Majesty":
