Shallowford Presbyterian Youth

We started the day off with worship at First Presbyterian Church in Waco in an absolutely beautiful hundred year old sanctuary. The host families could not have had nicer words to say about our youth and that was even before they sang. You could tell from what was said both during and following the service that this church is really trying to emphasize the importance of youth and young people in the church and in worship specifically. Our group was in held up as a great example of this in action and something for FPC to live up to.

I think the older members particularly enjoyed our revved up version of O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing, as it drew applause from a church that apparently does not clap for just anyone. The choir director leaned over to one of our chaperones after the applause and said "that is the third time in my thirty years here that they have clapped for someone." What a HUGE compliment.


After worship, it was box lunches and then back on the bus for a short ride to San Antonio for concert number two at Oak Hills Presbyterian Church. We were treated to a great tex-mex fajita dinner and had time to let the kids run around a little bit before singing.





We even had a few familiar faces in the crowd as the Adams Family was there to cheer us on!

It was another long day of singing. I can't believe that worship in Waco was just this morning! Now it's off for a couple days of fun before getting back to business. Tomorrow is Sea World, The Alamo, and the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Weather forecast for tomorrow: High Temp of 101. Wish us luck.

(the wonderful Comfort Inn WIFI is not cooperating this morning enough to allow me to post the videos from yesterdays concerts. Look for them as soon as I can post them)
