Dr. Eddie Rivera and a few of the younger pastors got a praise band together. They sounded great. It makes me wonder. Is this the music that will be the "Good Old Hymns" fifty years from now? Will there be any resistance to changing the style of worship music?

Afternoon Activities

We started by splitting into four groups. One group played football, another kickball, another played volleyball and the last tried archery.

Well a couple pastors hit the bullseye so I guess they were safe.
