Day Three!
Greetings from the DFW Metroplex again!
Today was a BUSY day as we had 3 times of worship and took in a great movie. The weather was hot, but God gave us some nice gusts of wind every once in awhile to make it very bearable!
We began this morning by traveling to Cook's Children Hospital in Fort Worth. We had the privilege of singing in their beautiful atrium and as we sang patients, doctors, and nurses would stop in and listen. It was a very moving experience for our students and for those who were patients there at the hospital.
We then moved to the University Christian Church on the campus of TCU. This is where we had our concert with God. As we loaded the busses at the hospital a 'no talk' order was executed and our focus quickly was on what was about to happen. A concert with God is where we go into an older church and there are no other individuals in the church. It's us and God. This was an incredibly moving time!
After lunch we headed to Mission Arlington. Every summer our students have the opportunity to spend a week at this incredible missions center in the heart of the metroplex, so it was cool to see all of our youth choir serve as we helped with a Tent Revival. A bunch of children came and the Gospel was presented clearly and passionately! It was a great night of worship and ministry!
We capped off the night with a Jason's Deli boxed dinner and a viewing of the new Pixar movie "Up" in 3D. The students and adults loved it! It was a great way to cap off a great day! We are getting up early in the morning as we head to San Antonio and Sea World! Continue to pray for God to do great things in us and through us! To HIM be the glory!!

Choir Tour-Day Two-FBC Sachse, TX
greetings from the Lonestar state!
hope all is well in BTOWN! we had another GREAT day as we traveled much of the day from El Dorado to the DFW metroplex. after we traveled down I-20 from Shreveport to Dallas we stopped and ate lunch at the Town East Mall in Mesquite, Texas. we then traveled on to Sachse, TX and settled in at FBC-Sachse. Matt and Chelsea Jones welcomed us there. Matt is the worship pastor and his wife Chelsea is a Pure Energy alumni. it was a joy to see her!
our time of worship tonight was powerful. "Revelation Song" was especially meaningful as the entire congregation stood in worship as we proclaimed the Scriptures of Revelation that describes our future times of worship of our Father in our heavenly home! it was a great night to say the least.
we actually get to keep our suitcases unzipped 2 nights in a row here in Arlington!! tomorrow will be an eventful day as we have 3 concerts! there will be lots to talk about tomorrow night! enjoy the pictures below!

Choir Tour 2009-FBC El Dorado, AR
Hey Folks!!
Day one is in the books, and it was a good one! Excitement was felt all over the building at FBC as the day that we had been working so hard towards had finally come!! After some last minutes instructions and a prayer by Pastor Rick we filled the busses and headed out.
We arrived at FBC El Dorado around 3:30 and set up in their sanctuary. It was a beautiful sanctuary and we enjoyed the people there a lot. After a quick rehearsal we spent some time in their student ministry building and enjoyed a great dinner. After dinner we got ready and headed to the sanctuary for an incredible night of worship. There was such a neat spirit of worship!
After worship we snuck a quick round of bowling in at El Dorado Lanes before heading to our hotel! Tomorrow we venture to the DFW metroplex for a little shopping and our second time of worship at FBC Sachse, TX. Former Pure Energy Chelsea Crowson Jones' husband Matt is the Worship Pastor. We are looking forward to seeing Matt and Chelsea!
Look for more updates tomorrow. Click on the link below to look at pictures from Day One. Feel free to leave a comment!
