2005 Youth Music Mission Tour to Colorado - 5/30/05


Happy Memorial Day everyone! Our hosts here at Highland Park Pres. were kind enough to fix us a french toast breakfast this morning and we were thankful for a great meal. As part of our mission efforts, we then spent much of the morning cleaning up their fellowship hall and giving their windows some much needed attention.

Later that morning, we were privileged to have Lucille Reilly come and share some of her music with us. For those of you who don't know, Lucille is one of the foremost Dulcimer experts in the country and it was obvious after listening to her play for us. We were blessed to be able to share some of our music with her as well and she even played along with us during our time together making for a fantastic experience.

After a quick deli sandwich lunch, we headed off to Montview Manor - a 13-story retirement community in the heart of Denver. There, we performed a collection of six anthems and four instrumental pieces for a good-sized crowd of very appreciative senior citizens. They sang along with some of our Psalms and we were all moved by the Holy Spirit during the performance.

We finished the afternoon with another performance of our music at the Highland Park Presbyterian Church which was preceded by an ice cream social and a small art demonstration. A lasagna dinner followed eventually and the day slowly came to a close. Stay tuned for more tomorrow as we work at the Mt. Saint Vincent Home for Children and the New Genesis Project!
