Rivers and Spires - Did You Know?

Did you know that Rivers and Spires in in the top twenty events according to the Southeast Tourism Society? http://www.southeasttourism.org/

Did you know that the worship leader for our new contemporary service at the FLC, Jamie Worley, and his band are playing Saturday at 1:30 on the Courthouse Stage?

Did you know that our cool drummer, Ryan, is drumming with his Christian metal band, O.A.T.H., at 9:00 tonight on the Christian Rock Stage?

O.A.T.H.

Did you know that it is important to support music in our public schools?

Did you know the West Creek Middle School Chorus is singing on the Christian rock stage at 11:30?

and that the Barksdale Elementary Choir is singing at 1:00 on the Christian Rock Stage?

and that the Montgomery Central Elmentary Honor Choir is singing at 1:00 on the Rising Star Stage?

Many of our children at church go to Barksdale and I'm pretty sure that West Creek is where Emily (clarinet and alto) teaches.

Did you know I went to Clarksville last night to see my very first Rivers and Spires and ended up at Cracker Barrel since it was raining? (More of that story here http://papalyndel.blogspot.com/2008/04/first-for-benjamin.html)

Did you know that our church, Hilldale Baptist Church, has a booth in the children's area? Did you know we are giving away a really super cool prize?

I'm headed to Clarksville soon. I'm taking my camera. SMILE! You might end up here on my world-famous blog.

Children and Music

Here's a great article from LifeWay. It's titled "The Power of Music in the Spritual Development of Children."

Excellent stuff.

Kid’s Choral Connection

Bro. Tim and I are going to take our 3-5 grade choir to the Kids’ Choral Connection in September. They will have a super time. For one thing, Bro. Tim and I have a great time with kids. For another thing, they get a cool t-shirt, have some fun times and singing times and at the end they record a CD! How cool is that?
The dates are Sept. 28-29. More information will be in the mail to all of the kids this week. I just wanted you all to be the first to know!

Here are a couple of pics from one of the Celebration Times from last year.
