Nonetheless, we’re here and MHS 2010 is going to be as awesome as ever, we promise!

BE PREPARED TO BE AWESOME-IZED!

If you missed the worship rally, you really missed something awesome. The music was awesome and the spirit of God fell in a really powerful way on the service. There were young people dancing in the altar and worshiping God with passion and sincerity that made a very big impact on me.  I’m too exhausted to write more right now, but check back tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to sleep! Check out the video update and check back here often over the next couple of days and weeks as we get more videos, pictures an audio posted!

Our musicians got together for their first practice and I gotta say - it’s sounding awesome.  Really awesome.  Seriously, you don’t even know.  We also went shopping for food and spent a LOT of time working on a really special surprise.  Our DJ has, I’m sure been cracking his knuckles and doing whatever kind of finger stretching and warm-ups that DJs do…I think it probably has something to do with playing paper football.

Check the website for some new videos and pictures coming this week.  11 DAYS!!! ARE YOU READY?!?!

Some answers we already received were “…Invite all area youth to the rally, not just the quizzers.” and “make the coaches of the teams quiz during the tournament sometime.”
