The Torch Is Passed

Dear Worshipers,

For the last couple of years I have labored with this vision of churches working together to present a musical that would celebrate America, but more importantly acknowledge God as the provider of all true freedom. A couple of months ago it was looking like that vision might die, but God did an amazing work. I can say with some degree of confidence that the torch has been passed onto a whole new group of people, involved for the first time this year, and that they seem very willing to run with it.

We had a wonderful turnout to both performances, coverage on WBOY, and a couple of pictures in the Dominion Post. But was it even more exciting to me was the enthusiasm of the people involved. They were really excited about this thing.

It was thrilling for me to see how significantly we were outnumbered. While we had a strong showing with about 20 of our folks, there were far more from the other churches 34, for a combined total of 54. Here is a link you can go to see some pictures of the performance from the MET. The Torch is Passed

A couple of comments from folks that were particularly meaningful to me. When Pastor Drew, who played bass, asked the sound technician if the hall normally had a good sound, he replied, “Never as good as it did today.” Praise the Lord! We actually prayed for that. Go figure. I had a man come up to me in full patriotic garb who informed me that he and his wife had attended July 4th musical celebrations in Philadelphia and Washington and that ours rated right up there with anything they had ever seen. WOW! Thanks be to God. It was a talented group, but God was One who made the performance truly spectacular.

If you were not able to be involved this year I hope you will consider now your involvement next year. It promises to be even more exhilarating as more churches get involved and the awareness of the event grows within the community. The torch is passed.

In Christ,

Pastor Scott
