First of all, if you had trouble listening to the radio show Sunday night, it's because evidently they're going to broadcast it this Saturday at 6pm and Sunday at 2pm. Check out their website at http://radiogodscountry.org/ListeningArea.html to figure out what station works best for you.
Second of all, WOW! I could not have been more impressed or more proud of our kids. I walked in an hour or so before the concert started, and there were already several people there, bustling around, checking sound levels, and staking out seats. The music was wonderful. While I had to readjust to clapping on 1 and 3, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a nice variety of music- Bill Gaither and Casting Crowns, Gold City and Kutless. The Kirkville kids sang some VBS songs and even taught the radio host, Cowboy Doug (who also is a pastor and a doctor- a combination of titles that makes me smile) the karate song, complete with actions. We also played Jesus Loves Me and Amazing Grace on the boomwhackers. A little four year old girl had the high C, and she could not have been more adorable!! It all went very well, and Cowboy Doug offered to take us on the road instead of his band (much to the protest of his band, who decided they wanted to come with us and play the boomwhackers.)
It was absolutely heartwarming to see how many people were there and to see their faces as they listened to the music. Whether they were VBS parents, grandparents, or friends, or whether they were devoted fans of the groups that performed, it's safe to say that a good time was had by all :) Pat, who runs the store at Kirkville, told us she stopped counting at 120 people. Other counts offered 129- that church hasn't seen that many people in...who knows when. There are a few more events to come in the following months, and we hope that all the excitement will help the small church to grow.
