Go 'Stros

Our Celebration Choir and Orchestra was recently invited to sing the National Anthem at the Astro's game. July 25th, 2006 the Astro's would take on the Cincinnati Reds (and let them go). We combined three of our choirs and had over 225 people on the field to sing.

We turned the opportunity into an all-church fellowship. Because were such a large group we were able to get discount tickets. In addition to selling tickets to the choir we made tickets available to our entire congregation and before we knew it we had sold over 1,100 and nearly took over the entire north mezzanine section of Minute Maid park. It was so much fun. The actual singing only lasted about a minute and a half but the preparation and excitement made it so worth it. The entire night was lots of fun. Once we were finished singing we went back to our seats to join everyone else and were all greeted with cheers and applause. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and we were able to plant many seeds of hope in the lives of the people that we encountered that night. Below are some pics from the game.

Until then,

Christmas is coming!!

I know it's hard to think about celebrating Christmas when it's still sweltering outside and the coldest thing we've experienced all summer is the "Arctic Edge". However, it takes a great deal of time and effort to produce a Christmas Pageant and we can never start too early.

I have chosen "Journey to the Manger" by David T Clydesdale and Kim Beyer- Johnson for the pageant portion of the program. Then I've chosen several pieces from Phil Barfoot and Lari Goss's newest Christmas collection entitled "The Glory of Christmas". I have seen and done a lot of their work and this is without a doubt some of the best. I've also chosen several other pieces to complete the concert portion.

My goal in Pageant is always the same. To take water to the desert, not to the ocean. Jesus came to heal the sick, not the well. I pray that the Lord would compel us to invite lost people to the presentations, and to invite people in need of hope. My desire is for the Pageant to minister not to entertain.

Pageant dates are December 1, 2 & 3 at 7:00 P.M. nightly. Feliz Navidad!
