This year has been crazy busy for my “other” job as a worship leader/choir director.  Things are slowing down (for a moment) at Harvest Time, but at the same time,  everything is speeding up at 180 Remix.  We getting ready for our youth retreat - Coram Deo, and  it is officially two weeks and four rehearsals away. 

It’s an exciting year because the team has finally had time to write songs.  We Will Go was introduced last night and it went over really well for a “first-timer.”  

On a side note, the new Hillsong United Album was released two days ago and I have been looking forward to it since they skipped on the CD last year.

^That will explain my next story….

Our youth pastor, Josh came up to Jon after service and told him that the new song was great and went over well considering the CD came out on Tuesday.  

Jon’s response: “Thanks, we’ve been working on it for a few weeks now, trying to get it just right”

Josh “Ah so you got it early, not suprised”

Jon:  “Not following you…”

Josh “The new United song “We Will Go”

Jon:  “We wrote We Will Go.  That isn’t Hillsong.”

Josh “Wow, no way, that’s sweet”

I thought that was cool.  The guys did a great job on that song.  

I took a few pictures of the band practicing on Tuesday night because it looked so cool.  We are all about raising up the next generation.  Here is a couple of pictures to show how awesome this team is:

Look at all the Electric Guitars!  There are seven of them (3 are in Jr. High):

Here is the other side of the stage:
