2005 Youth Music Mission Tour to Colorado - 5/31/05

What a busy day! We started off early this morning with breakfast at the most technologically advanced McDonalds I have ever seen! They had kiosks where you could order your food, an ATM and a DVD rental machine right there in the store! We all ate a good breakfast (except Meg G., who preferred a pair of cookies over a sausage biscuit) and it turns out we needed it.

Our next stop, and first major performance was at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church where an absolutely gorgeous sanctuary waited for us and we filled it with some of the finest sounds we could collectively muster. Our choir sang four anthems and a couple of hymns to great effect and our instrumentalists performed with equal enthusiasm and quality. The people of Montview Blvd were very appreciative and it was a blessing for everyone involved to have the opportunity to provide musical leadership for their congregation.

After lunch (another adventure for another time), we headed for some much needed R&R at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center. Fully equipped with two indoor, heated pools, a water slide, a sauna, a pair of racquetball courts and a full gym (to name a few things), this facility provided us with an excellent chance to relax and enjoy the fellowship with each other. Just about everyone went on the water slide (even Tom!) and everyone had a great time.

We ended the day with a spaghetti dinner cooked here at the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and closed the evening with a devotional centered around the experience of the disciples on the Emmaus road.
