Kicking Off Summer at Faith United Church!
There’s nothing quite like the energy of day one of sing out season — and there’s no better place to start than our traditional first stop: Faith United Church. This familiar space has become a home base for launching each summer tour, and the welcome we receive is always something special.
As the students stepped on stage, you could see the first-performance nerves starting to show. But as the music filled the room and the crowd responded with love and enthusiasm, those nerves melted away. The audience’s warmth lifted the kids' spirits, and they leaned into the moment with confidence and joy.
We love starting our season here. Faith United continues to be a place where we feel supported, cheered for, and reminded of why we do what we do. Thank you for helping us kick off another unforgettable summer!

Tour Day 5 – Buffalo NY to Niagara Falls NY
One of the best parts of tour are the unplanned moments; unwritten, if you will. You may remember me talking about our friendship with Paul Lintern. Well, today Paul was helping add to the mission of tour all the way out here in Buffalo. He worked out a deal with some...
Tour Day 4 – Mansfield, OH to Baker Memorial UMC in East Aurora NY
If there is a “routine” day on tour today, was it. Up in the morning to get picked up from our host families, scrambling to get all the suitcases and sleeping bags loaded up, and rolling out of Mansfield, OH on our way to Buffalo, NY. But, of course, no day on tour is...
Tour Day 3 – Clay City, IN to Mansfield, OH – Jericho Wall & Arc Community Church
Hey Joe Town! Joseph here again. Today we pushed farther east. We saw the cities turning more and more industrial as we drove through Indianapolis. We even got to talk a little trash on the Colts as we passed Lucas Oil Stadium. This rust-belt industrialism is a...
Tour Day 2 – Rochester UMC then to Faith Southern Baptist in Clay City, IN
Here I am, Lord. Well folks, Joseph here again, and we’re in another time zone. My watch is telling me that it is 9:15, but my phone is telling me it’s 10:30… and my body is too. You can tell we are further east by more than just the move into Eastern Time, though. ...
Tour Day 1 – Send Off at AUMC & Rochester UMC in Rochester, IL
Hey everybody back in Joe Town! It’s Joseph here with our first daily blog of Tour 2023. I know you might have been expecting Matt to write these, but I mentioned interest, and he immediately challenged me to a good ol’ fashioned arm wrastle. You can obviously see...
Sing-Out #10 – Wyatt Park Christian Church – 07/09/23
To say we are grateful for what started in this church is a major understatement. Someone had the vision, and the bravery to start something that has been able to endure over a lot of challenges, and positivity. This year as we conclude our Sermon in a different...
