Today I braved the snowy roads to be in Canton at Heritage Christian School (good thing Em wasn't with me - let's just say she doesn't do well on the roads when there's even a slight possibility of snow and ice). It's a small school, with only about 125 students in grades 6-12. Last year they had Joel and I to do a chapel. This year they invited me back to do a full chapel of just music. We followed Isaiah 6:1-8 (one of my favorite passages; read it if you can) to help guide our worship.
Because so much of the ministry we do is geared towards unchurched people, we intentionally stay away from doing corporate praise and worship music at our outreach events. Let's just say that a kid wearing black makeup that smokes pot and listens to Marilyn Manson probably wouldn't be cool with singing "Shine, Jesus, Shine." Seriously, though, I miss having opportunities like this chapel when we can get together with a group of believers and just praise God through singing. Pray that these students can continue to fall in love with Jesus and have a genuine desire to worship Him - in singing, and more importantly, with their lives.
P.S. Sorry, no pics today. We hope to include them in future posts.
