Last Tuesday night we had an awesome fun time in the Worship Department.  This is what the choir looked like about 3 years ago.  We are now in black and (insert color here) every week.  These robes have been hanging in the back of the choir room since then, and we are finally selling them!  Yay!  So, if you are interested… j/k

We made everyone put one on so we could have a “live” shot of what they looked like, and then cranked up the Sister Act 2 CD.  Enjoy!

Complete with a vocal demonstration from my husband and one of the guitarists:

 *Disclaimer - This is no way to knock you down if your church wears robes.  There are some awesome choirs out there that do.  We’ve had a rich history of great music and I’m honored to serve on this team

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:

Missing from these pictures:

2 drummers, 2 Guy vocals, 8 Girl vocals, 2 Keyboard players

Jadon loves Guitar Hero World Tour.  I know  you are asking yourself how much can a two year old play?  We just set it on freestyle and let his creative juices flow. 

It wouldn’t be complete without his “Rock-face“
