We embarked on an unforgettable journey to Colorado, where we discovered an enchanting cabin nestled amidst the majestic mountains. During this transformative trip, our focus extended beyond leadership development; we meticulously crafted a comprehensive calendar for the year ahead and engaged in team-building activities immersed in the natural beauty that surrounded us.
Our dedicated executive members and officer crew dedicated their precious holiday weekend to this enriching experience, demonstrating their commitment to both personal and New G growth. In addition to honing our leadership skills, we savored moments of serenity in nature, further deepening the bonds that unite our exceptional team. This expedition not only prepared us for the challenges of the upcoming year but also nurtured our collective spirit, fostering a stronger and more resilient team dynamic.

Sing-Out #11 – Pioneer Days – Edgerton, MO with Jimmy Porter
This was our first time performing for Pioneer Days in Edgerton, MO, but not the first time we have said Yes to Jimmy Porter. It was a honor to be in Edgerton for this beautiful outdoor performance where multiple churches came together for the day. While the...

Tour Day 15 – Decatur, IL to St. Joseph , MO – Wyatt Park Baptist Church Homecoming
L.O.V.E. Limitless Overcoming Vivacious Embrace What a name for a sermon title. I must admit that I have a mixed relationship with that word. It can be such a nebulous term, right? How often have you thrown around a stray, “I love you”, or an, “I love Taylor Swift, so...

Tour Day 14 – Sandusky OH to Decatur Ill, Performance at Salvation Army
Hey Joe Town! Well, here we are in Decatur, IL. We now officially have all of our out-of-town tour performances complete and basically an entire tour is under our belts. All of your singers who left as inexperienced newbies are prepping to return as the sage wisdom of...

Tour Day 13 – Sandusky OH – Cedar Point!
Cedar Point. It seems like we come here every couple of years (in the last 5 years we have been here 3 times). So, for the sponsors there really isn’t a ride most of us haven’t been on twice. With that frequency, you can imagine some of the magic has faded. That is,...

Tour Day 12 – Travel Day from Huntingdon, PA to Sandusky OH
So, we are now in Sandusky, OH prepping for our day in Cedar Point tomorrow. I am confident that I will have loads to say about that excursion. But today… not so much. We drove a lot. We went to dinner. We checked in the hotels. That’s about it. It’s just one of...

Tour Day 11 – Oasis of Love, Raystown Lake – Seven Points Amphitheater
Tour 2023 is over half-way complete boys and squirrels! It never seems real. Both singers and sponsors spend an entire year prepping for tour just to have it flit away. I honestly feel like it just started. Everyone had spent the weeks and months before tour making...

Tour Day 10 – New York, New York – Huntingdon, PA @ Oasis of Love Church
Leaving New York City is kind of a surreal experience. In the morning we were holding up traffic and dodging pedestrians trying to get our suitcases loaded on the bus, and not an hour out of the city we were flying by corn fields. The contrast was jarring. Getting off...

Tour Day 9 – Church and Sites with Bemo in NYC
There are probably quite a few of you who don’t know that I (Joseph, again) retired from the Army after 22 years. You can imagine that I have done some pretty grueling work in my day. I’ve carried very heavy rucksacks for many many miles at a time, I once went three...

Tour Day 8 – New York City – Broadway Show New York New York
I love the city. I know, I know, it’s not an opinion that is held by all. Especially, those of us that had a choice to live somewhere other than Saint Joseph but chose the city bountiful anyway. I’m one of those people (Emily and I actually live in Kansas City) but...

Tour Day 7 – Huntingdon, PA to New York, New York
NEW YORK, NEW YORK! Of course the highlight of this tour is the thing that everyone has been talking about – The City that NEVER sleeps, The Big Apple, The one place that should never make salsa, NEW YORK CITY!!!!!! It’s today folks! Today was a day full of oohs and...
