It’s hard to believe that our little boy is as big as he looks in this picture. Ashley took this picture this morning as we walked into the first day of his 3K Preschool at Morningside.
I just got the final tracks that will be on the youth band album. It’s going to be awesome. You can listen to the four tracks by clicking the songs on the right hand column of my blog. Over three years ago some of the students and adults at Morningside began to dream about a group of people playing Contemporary Christian worship music at the church in a youth format. Who would have guessed that this day would come? Many students and adults have helped the band get to where it is today, but I’m most grateful to the Lord for allowing the band to grow and to use their talents to bring honor to His Name! CD’s and digital download cards will be available in early September. Most of the cost of purchasing the CD’s will go to recoop the cost of production, but any preceeds will go to the 2010 youth mission trip. The following people played or sang on the album: Holly Bannan, Rick Hennecy, Lee Lancaster, JD Weeks & Nathan Neighbors. It was recorded by Mckelvie Wilder. Listen to the songs, buy a copy of the CD, and come join us for Ignite on Wedneday nights beginning September 2nd.
Monday starts the second full week of the school year here in Spartanburg and we’re in full swing. This is a special year because Anderson is now a kindergartner. We’re so excited about his school and his teacher. Being a parent of a student now and walking with Anderson though the school process gives me so much more perspective on what all of our parents at church are doing everyday. It’s not easy juggling school, work, sports, family life and all the other things that swill around the weekly activities of a busy family. As we all start another school year may we encourage one another to find times of rest…times of solace…times with our families…and most of all times with our Savior. Good luck everyone with the new school year. I am praying for you all as you help your students through another great year. Please know that I’m here to help you and your family in anyway I can. I hope to see all of our parents of teenagers at our meeting during Sunday School this coming Sunday (August 30) at 9:45am.
