Christian Musicians playing in Secular Events....

First, I am writing this as the "newest pastor" in my town. I am looking for some serious thoughts as it relates to Christian musicians [worship team members] playing secular music outside the church. I have been asked by members of a worship team that I have played with to get together and play a benefit for a Catholic Church/School Fundraising event. At this event alcohol with be served [yes, at a church fundraiser] and the song list that I have received is all secular music. The music is mostly classic rock [ie: Jumpin Jack Flash, Jet Airliner, Already Gone by the Eagles, Can't Explain by The Who, etc...] with only one Third Day song which is Christian focused. How does one handle a situation such as this? On one hand I am playing with a great group of Spirit Filled Christian men who love God, and on the other, especially as a Pastor, I feel torn as to what kind of message this will send, as I am a leader in Christ's Church. You thoughts??????

Corporately pray about this as a church and then take your church with you.  A great opportunity to build relationships with the community!  I agree with other posts here that Jesus would be out with the sinners not to "party down", but to reveal Himself to them.  Here's to getting out of that worldly comfort zone (so many churches today) and proclaiming that Jesus is Lord!  I'm praying for you Pastor Fredo that you will step out in faith and that the Lord will draw unbelievers into the Body of Christ because of that faith!  Exciting to be a child of God and to be used by Him to fulfill His plan and purpose.  I LOVE BEING A CHRISTIAN!   Your brother, Paul
