Saturday Evening Post

2011-06-04T21:04:00.000-07:00

The first day of Chi Rho Tour is in the books. Hot day. Cool tour through Mammoth Cave. We sang "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" in the cave at the end of our tour. There were over 100 people on our tour. It was a great moment. Hot evening. The Bats won the game with a homer in the bottom of the tenth inning. Hot night. Did I mention that it is hot?

Great Worship Last Night

2010-08-17T18:22:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone who went to Grace Baptist in Tullahoma last night. We had great time of worship with the people of Grace Baptist and evangelist Ken Weathersby. I also appreciate all of the Chi Rho parents who waited so patiently for us to get back, albeit quite a bit late. Thank you Lonnie Donaldson for driving us safely as well. The Lord is gracious to us and it was a blessing to used in His service last night. (More photos are available on the Chi Rho Youth Choir Facebook wall.)

Chi Rho Begins New Season

2010-08-06T13:14:00.000-07:00

The Chi Rho Youth Choir had a great start to our new season on August 4. We welcomed ten new singers and enjoyed the help of our recent graduates. It was an exciting night. Lisa H. said she had "holy goosebumps." I did too. There was a moment in Sea of Mercy that was just electrifying. Wonderful! This is going to be a great year. I can't wait to see where God takes us. Next rehearsal: next Wednesday at 5 pm. See you there! - Jonathan

2010-06-11T17:11:00.000-07:00

Great morning. We started with a bunch of guys and one girl, Madison, phat dippin in the pool at 8 am. Phat dippin is the opposite of skinny dippin. All of us jump in the pool fully clothed. We started this tradition last year. Pictures to come later.

Drove to the Western North Carolina Baptist Retirement Home. We sang a full concert for most of the residents in a large room with great acoustics. After the concert, we enjoyed visiting with the folks and serving refreshments. After helping most of them back to their rooms, we divided into two groups and went "caroling" in the assisted living facility. In this way, we were able to visit with everyone at the facility. They were so kind and so very grateful for our visit. We stayed a little longer than we had planned, but enjoyed every minute of it.

Carra's brother David and his wife Mary live in Asheville and hosted us last year. Today the led us to and from the Baptist Home so that we would get there safely. It was so good to see them and to visit with them again.

We took I-26 to Johnson City and ate lunch there. We then took 81 and 40 home. We arrive safely at 6 pm and cleaned out the buses.

Praise the Lord for a safe and productive mission tour. It is so rewarding to be involved in an event the clearly touches so many lives. Our youth represented our Lord so well. No behavior problems at all. No serious injuries or illness. Just lives changed by the love of God. Beautiful!
