If you can get a new recruit to be able to start playing along with a simple popular worship song with just 5 minutes of instruction, you can literally watch the excitement on their faces as they realize that they can actually do it! And then with that excitement, you can launch them […]

What a great fourth day! It was raining outside, but we sure had a lot of fun inside. We started off right away on the instruments and then chose our spots for the final concert. Then we
