Lexie From Worchester

Now I will do a feature on a Lexie Stobie, a sixteen year old Christian singer and worship leader from Worcester, England. I will start with a quick introduction.

Lexie has recently finished her GCSE study at School, however she is a school leaver with a difference because she is part of the All Saints Church in Worcester and her work with the Church involves singing, worship leading and performing in plays.



But Lexie has not only led worship at All Saints Church, alongside Bill Scriven, another member of the Worship team, she has travelled around Worchester around the country while writing and recording new songs.

After receiving a financial gift and praise from her listeners, Lexie recorded her first CD in 2005 which was named ‘Keys of the Kingdom’ and in 2006 Lexie and Bill started to record a second album with Tim Stringer and Mat Gill from St Paul’s Church in Worchester on the drums and bass.

After weeks of practising, the group produced Lexie’s second album, ‘Is It Time?’ which had many songs recorded by Bill, Mat Gill, Lexie and Richard Wood from All Saints Church.

Her favourite Bible verse:

"I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
1 Corinthians 2 verses 3-5

Her influences, apart from God, are singers/songwriters such as Aretha Franklin, Bill Whithers and Alicia Keys and Lexie is also keen on the Blues.



These have led her to perform in the BBC Radio 2 Young Choristers of the Year
2006 Competition and reached the final on 28th October 2006 in Westmister Abbey and sung ‘The Lord’s My Shepherd’ and ‘How Great Thou Art’ and it was broadcasted on Sunday 5th November.

You can hear the concert Here and see some pictures from it Here.
(You can hear Lexie singing about 20 minutes into the programme)

Lexie and her band will continue to work together to travel, sing and to spread the word of God to their audience, look out for a third album in the future.
