College Church:Wanted to show everyone a couple of pictures of my home church in Olathe, Kansas. This is a picture taken from the choir loft on the last Sunday that I was home for the summer. This church has been such an amazing influence on me. I went to the college that was affiliated with this church. We would have to go to chapel's every Tuesday and Thursday. The I had bible classes and it was just exhausting to go to church again on Sunday morning. Then I met a fellow student, whom I later dated, she asked me if I wanted to come and join the choir. I had never sung in my life, at least loud enough for people to hear me. I was so scared in the fact that I thought that I would have to "try out" sing in front of 140 people? Are you crazy? But I got there and met David Hubbs, and all he asked was what I sang and then pointed me to a seat. Another main reason was that I wanted to be a soldier in our play called "The Victor", which I later found out that I really didn't have to join the choir for. I can still remember taking my music home every week so that I could be prepared for the following Sunday. But I was laughed at by Amy and several members of the tenor section. I learned pretty quick how to just blend my voice with the really talented people like Doug Lott, Mike, Galand Gott, Kevin. All these guys are just amazing singers, it has been a gift from God to just stand in the loft with these guys. I can't wait to get back there and join these guys.
As you can see we are a pretty large choir and I have really loved the songs that we have sung. Probably my favorite so far has been a song that has been sung with the quartet called "Mountain Get Out Of My Way" all I can say is WOW. This choir has even made a few c.d.'s and I was lucky enough to be involved in the one called "Sunday's Best". Our church is rather large and has two services but the second one is the one I enjoy the best. I also am involved heavily in the Sunday school class called "Oasis". Again something that I can't wait to get home and get back involved with. I also have been keeping involved by playing some volleyball. This is where I hone in on my kill skills. This is a great chance to get active. I have been playing volleyball ever since we started the nightly volleyball session. I have usually been the main stay. We have had as many as thirty and as few as three. We will find a way to play with any amount. My favorite to play with is an older woman, Michelle, I have met some other amazing people at volleyball like Denise and Julie and Sarah.. This is an amazing church that has really added in my development as a christian. I know that I wouldn't be here in Korea if it hadn't been for the teaching that I received here. We have been choosing a new pastor now that pastor J.K. Warrick has gotten promoted to like God's aide or something like that. If ever in the Kansas City area please give me a call I would love to show you the finer points of this church.
