I just found out about this band Julian Drive two weeks ago from my pastor. Our church is known for southern gospel music. Or at least has in the past. The pastor is trying to offer something for the younger generation because he can see he’s losing them. Especially since we don’t have a youth pastor right now.
Well, he saw these guys in concert recently and has since scheduled them to come to our church at the beginning of next year. I am really, really excited about it. They are actually really cool. If you know that song by Hoobastank "The Reason", they have a version of it as well. I can not WAIT to hear that played live.
So tonight we had an initial kick off meeting with a group at the church to raise awareness about it and also get some pledges for them to come. Also, we got a project manager type guy over it. J is doing the accounting and I’m handling the advertising and "computer stuff".
We’re actually now talking about doing this in the local high school auditorium now just because we think it could be a really, really big hit. By then we should have our new youth pastor in place and it will be GREAT to start out with something big like this.
