Christian Female Musicians MIA

I listen to Christian music radio somewhat regularly, and I am also heavily involved in music at church, so I found the following article very fascinating! The issue at hand, the theories on why it's an issue, and the comments from women at the end--all very interesting!

Check it out:

Christian Female Musicians, Missing in Action

It may be time to switch to grape juice for communion...

This is just like our church (except, of course, we have chairs instead of pews).

Digital Derby Car Rally

Last night our youth group had a car rally--we had a blast!

It was a scavenger hunt of sorts: the teams had an hour to drive around town and take digital pictures from a list (e.g. team stuffed in a phone booth, being eaten by a bear, trapped in an elevator, etc). When the points were tabulated, the Low Riders edged out the Pink Cadillacs by 18 points for 1st place.

At the end of the evening we saw slide shows of all the teams' pictures. Below are some favorites, along with their category from the list:

Take a picture of your team...

...caroling at a house that has Christmas lights up.

...acting out a Shakespeare scene.

...imitating Benjamin Franklin.

...pretending to throw a team member into a river.

...saluting a flag.

...being run over by a jet.

...in a trash bin.

...all on one playground swing.

...having your arm swallowed by a mail box.

...staging a gun fight with bananas at a grocery store.

Wedding

Our humble New Hope building enjoyed its first ever wedding this weekend! Ashley Holter married Dylan Leach on Saturday, and her best friend Devita took some really nice pics, a few of which I've copied below! Dewey performed the ceremony, and I was privileged to do some music. May God bless this newly married couple!
