To give a brief summary of Middle School Choir Tour I can only use the word “Awesome.”  The trip was absolutely amazing.  The students did an amazing job of sharing the Gospel through songs as well as modeling what it looks like to follow (obey) Jesus Christ. 

• They sang for a local food pantry
• They sang for a Nursing Home
• They sang for Manor Care
• They sang for Boys and Girls Harbor
• They served at Clear Lake Baptist Church moving items, cleaning, meeting and loving on children
• They sang and led worship at Harvest Methodist Church

Our Response:  Give Glory to God

May we live out the word of God the rest of year as well as the students did this past week! 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit, within me.

HOT DAY!
Today we focused on Seeking the Kingdom of God above all else.  We discussed that the things of this world will never last and that eternal things are what matters.  Obey God matters!  Loving others matters! Christ is coming back for us and we need to found faithful.

A few highlights of the Day:

1.  Walls got painted!
2.  Yards got mowed!
3.  Casey Lewis and Matt Arnold beat Mark Arnold and Justin Harris in Spades 418 to -96.

Today we focused on seeking the Kingdom of God First in everything.  If summing up the day I would say being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ!  These middle school students sang their heart out and loved on little children all the way up to a 98 year old woman who has been following the LORD for 65 years!  Today was a wonderful day!  The Holy spirit truly moved and I was ministered to in a mighty way by their songs.  It was truly amazing to watch students sing to mature adults about following Jesus Christ.  I must admit, I cried today! (Yes I am a man who cries).

A few highlights of the Day:

1.  Youth Loving God!
2.  Youth Loving children!
3.  Youth sharing the Gospel through songs and reading scripture!
4.  Youth modeling the way of a follower of Jesus Christ by living out the Word!

To GOD be the GLORY!

Today we focused on having a pure heart devoted to serving the Lord Jesus Christ. The students gave all Glory to God as they sang to the members of Clear Lake Baptist Church. Patty and Stacy have done a wonderful job of picking music that shares the gospel with all who hear! The youth worked extremely hard without complaining and set a great example for the Lord as well as for FBC Keller.

A few fun highlights of the Day:

• Patty made a wrong turn before we left the metroplex
• Preston bought a ink squirting pen at the very first bathroom break
• Casey sang “I love peanut butter” next to Emma! (She smiled!)

Please be in prayer for tomorrow as the youth sing and interact with those as the food pantry, manor care nursing home and at Boys and Girls Harbor.
