Julie


Happy 17th Birthday, Julie!

How I like to eat spaghetti: With a fork! :)

Something it seems everyone has done, except for me: Gotten roller coaster rides

Scariest moment of my life: A few years ago, we kids were on our way home from church. Dad and Mom were gone, so Marty was driving our van. It was in February, so the roads were kind of icy and there was snow along the highway. I was sitting in the second seat, and suddenly I felt the van start to slide! We were fishtailing and starting to slide toward a guardrail. I remember that the van went totally silent. Marty got the van under control and we slowed down. Our friend who was riding with us looked over and said, "Marty, do you need a break? You're totally white!" Thank God nothing worse happened! :)  

Dream job: Foreign correspondent

A favorite memory with the Team: The cd celebration pizza party

Something that makes me smile: Passionate and hospitable Christians

“And be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another 
even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

1940s Christmas Caroling

Have you ever seen the movie the Polar Express? Did you know Owosso, Michigan is the home of the steam locomotive used in the film? Every Christmas a nearby town is transformed into a 1940s style village, and this year the village of Ashley, Michigan has been selected. As part of the festival, the Shepardsville Team is scheduled to do some caroling on the street corner! This sounds like an event you won't want to miss. Step back in time, stroll around town, and enjoy a village country Christmas!

And that's not all. If you'd like, you can catch the train and take a ride on the Pere Marquette 1225 (the real "North Pole Express") train from Owosso to Ashley for the festival! Ticket information can be found here.

The festival runs every weekend through the Christmas season, and we get to sing two of those weekends!
Saturday, November 30th 5:00-7:00pm
Saturday, December 14th 5:00-7:00pm

New Beginnings


The Team is going through some changes! Our last concert we bid farewell to Rose, Julie and Lewis Bontrager for the winter. We're making adjustments in our repertoire, learning new parts, and trying to fill in wherever we can. But it's still not the same when Rose can't sing her song, we're missing Julie's harmony, and we don't have Lewis' amazing drum playing (not to mention the mandolin!).

But we have exciting news, too! Elena McCoy is now an official member. She already has been a great help filling in where needed. She is a fast learner, and is such a fun addition! 
We look forward to the great memories ahead!
