Photo Shoot

This afternoon the Team had the opportunity to get some pictures together. 

We had limited time between events, but the results are positive!

We'll reveal more in future posts, but here's one to whet your appetite.

Doesn't it look good?

Gospel Barn

On Sunday, August 7th, about 250-275 people headed out to Henry and Ida’s Gospel Barn for a fun-filled night of music and food. Along with several local bands, and the featured Jack Clarkson Band, guess who was there? None other than the Shepardsville Team!

Twice a year, on the first Sunday of June and August, Henry and Ida Bontrager open up their 60x80 pole-barn for a fundraiser to benefit various missions projects in Central America and other third-world countries. Several of their children play with the Team, so every year we have the opportunity to help with this outreach.


These bi-annual concerts are ones we always look forward to, and this August it was no different. In fact, we had even more reason to be excited than ever before, because it was the first concert that we could wear our new Team t-shirts!

   

We waited until right before we were ready to walk on stage to change into our shirts, so we could surprise the crowd. Many people return to these concerts every year, and they were as excited as we were about our new “look”! We also had our new business cards to give out, and we told them about the blog-spot and our Facebook fan page. 
So many changes have happened this summer!!

The last song we sang that night was “God is Good”, and it stood as a reminder of how truly good He is. This summer has been proof of that in our lives as a Team and individually.

Carson City

Come visit us in Carson City! The Team will be playing there Tuesday, August 9th, at 7:00 pm. The evening will consist of music as well as a message to encourage you in your walk with Christ. All are welcome!

Please pray for us as only about half the Team will be able to go on stage.

Upcoming Concert

The Shepardsville Team will be singing/playing, along with several other small, local bands at Henry and Ida's Gospel Barn on Sunday, August 7. The event will be held inside a 60X80 polebarn. It's an informal event starting at 6:00 pm. Be sure to bring your own chairs and an appetite. Food stands will be on the grounds, including Koegels hotdogs and soft serve ice-cream! All donations go to support God's Little Children Ministries (godslittlechildren.org).

Christmas in July

After music practice last Saturday, Esther, Rebekah, and Seth 

surprised the team with a Christmas in July celebration. 

The rest of the Team was waiting to dig into the pizza that was sitting 

on the table when they came in armed with gifts and cookies. 

The loot was handed out, each person wondering what could be in their package?

Unable to bear it much longer, they opened the gifts very quickly.

And the contents were revealed....

The new Team t-shirts! Most everyone knew they were coming, 

but somehow didn't realize the time had finally arrived.

Don't they look good?
