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.
