We had an awesome day as we welcomed Cedarville University's Jazz Band to our church.  They had traveled to Horton, MI this weekend to participate in a Jazz Bash with Hanover Horton High School.  Fortunately for us, the band director for Hanover Horton school attends our church and we were able to invite them to join us for a Sunday morning service.  They had this incredible arrangement of Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho....I wish I could hear it again....it reminded me of the battle scene in Veggies Tales, Gideon Tuba Warrior :)  It was such a wonderful experience to worship in a different way than we normally do and to enjoy the passion and musicianship of these students!

One PK perk is getting to meet groups like this when they come to visit.  I am always so thankful for how helpful our girls are and gracious with their time as we are at the church....A LOT!  We were at the church late last night welcoming them, helping them set up, and assigning them host homes for the evening.  During the time we spent with them, we realized one of the band members was a BIRTHDAY BUDDY for Karly.  They were both celebrating their birthday today and Karly had sooo much fun with that....giving him high fives and making him a card.  Then, later today, we attended their Jazz Bash at Hanover Horton and the student from Cedarville sang a special, jazzy version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Karly in front of maybe about 300 people.....Karly was thrilled!  She told us it was her best birthday EVER on the way home! :)
