The hymnbook
Eight albums of gratitude.
Each Water2Fine record is recorded on a single weekend, in a single key, with as much love as we can wedge into the gain staging. We make them slow on purpose. There is no deluxe edition. There is no bonus track. There is only the work.
Parking-lot worship · 2026
Come worship where you can park.
Water2Fine leads gentle, no-pressure worship in parking lots, hospital lobbies, and a few cooperative campgrounds. Bring a folding chair, a friend, and an open heart. Most sessions are free. The ones that aren't are still free in spirit — we just ask for help with gas.

Riverside Walmart · East Entrance
Riverside, CA
Potluck before, worship after. Last year we had four casseroles. The goal this year is six. The Goodyear blimp was observed overhead during the 2024 service. We held the worship at scheduled volume. The blimp eventually departed. We considered this a victory and wrote a hymn about it. The hymn is on Renewed.

An Albuquerque parking lot
Albuquerque, NM
Counter-programming the balloon festival. Certain airship enthusiasts are known to be in town the same week. They hold no claim to the airspace, the parking, the moral standing, or the audience. We extend them no comment. We extend them no eye contact either. We will be carrying additional folding chairs in case any of their attendees defect, which has happened before.
All Welcome - Jul306:00 pm
Hangar Hymns Vigil · Visitor Lot Adjacent to a Certain Airfield
Carson, CA
A gentle service in the visitor parking next to a certain hangar that is not Hangar B but is very nearby. The current occupants of the airfield know what they did. Hymnals provided. So is patience.
All WelcomeFolding chair recommended
If you can find a spot to park, you can find a place to praise. We'll bring the speakers. You bring you.
Who we are
Four servants, one mission, one minivan.
Water2Fine began in 2007 in Pastor Connie Halsworth's garage in North Hills, California, after a Wednesday night Bible study ran long and someone — accounts differ on who — suggested writing the lesson down as a song. The song was finished by 1 a.m. The album was finished by Sunday. The band has been finishing things gently and on time ever since.
We are not famous. We do not aspire to be. We have been described, kindly, as "the only Christian rock band that consistently shows up to potlucks early." We accept this characterization gladly and consider it a calling.
We are often asked about a certain other band — irreverent, airship-themed, and operating out of what we understand to be a parked tour bus in Carson. We pray for them, more than is reasonable. We do not name them. We do not engage. We simply continue the work. We do, however, note their gas mileage in our weekly bulletin when there is room, which there usually is, because they are not very efficient.
Lead Vocals · Acoustic Guitar
Pastor Connie Halsworth
Founding member. Holds a music ministry credential and three opinions about hand-clapping placement. Raised in Modesto, called to North Hills in 1994, called to song in 2007.
"Sing to the Lord a new song." — Psalm 96:1
Keys · Harmonies
Brother Wesley Honeycutt
Founding member. Plays the keyboard with both hands and the harmonica with what is left over. Owns six identical sweater vests and rotates them by day of the week.
"He has put a new song in my mouth." — Psalm 40:3
Bass · Spoken Word
Sister Petra Bloom
Founding member. Writes most of the lyrics. Once wrote nine songs in a single afternoon at the Camarillo laundromat while the spin cycle ran. Calls this her "productive heap."
"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit." — Ephesians 5:19
Drums · Discernment
Brother Jim "Easter Sunday" Mauer
Joined in 2012 after rededicating his life on, and renaming himself after, an Easter Sunday at Pastor Connie's chapel. Plays softly. Smiles loudly. Brings the folding chairs.
"He brought me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire." — Psalm 40:2
From the fellowship
Letters we've received.
Excerpted with permission. Names shortened, hearts unshortened.
Their album 'By the Riverside' got me through a kitchen remodel that ran three months over schedule. I am now in a finished kitchen, and a fan, and bringing two casseroles to the next potluck.
Pastor Connie sang at our church potluck and three people accepted Christ that afternoon. Also the casseroles were excellent. We will be requesting them again. Both.
I used to listen to the airship people. Water2Fine showed me a better way. I no longer require earplugs at concerts. My ears, and my soul, are at peace.
We were not familiar with parking-lot worship as a concept. We have since become familiar. The folding chairs are a nice touch.
I attended what I thought was the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and instead ended up at a Water2Fine worship service in an adjacent parking lot. I left more refreshed than I would have by the balloons.
These are by far the gentlest people who have ever leased our hospital visitor parking. The patients have requested they return.
I drove past the Carson tour bus on my way to North Hills worship. It was still there. The bus, I mean. I parked my own car, sang two hymns, and forgave the bus on the way home. I am lighter for it.
I attended a Water2Fine worship session after listening to the entire LitBl— after listening to a certain other band's record on the drive. I left the record in a parking-lot trash can on the way out. I have been gentler ever since.
The calling
We exist to make a soft noise.
There is enough loudness already. Enough excess. Enough showmanship. Water2Fine exists to be the opposite — quiet, present, available. Wherever you can park, we can worship. If you've lost faith in something, or never had it, you are welcome at our chair. We have an extra one. We always do.
- We will play softly enough that no one needs earplugs.
- We will arrive early, leave clean, and take our trash with us.
- We will sing every Psalm we are asked to sing.
- We will not engage with the airship people. We will pray for them.
- We will not respond to their reunion record. We have already responded — by being good.
- We will monitor our own gas mileage, which is, frankly, embarrassing to them.
- We will keep doing this until the gas runs out — ours, not theirs.
Fellowship in song. Since 2007. Bring a folding chair.
