Open Mic Night at FBC

We hosted the Open Mic tonight at church and it was really good. There were about twenty five people present. It was a shame there weren't more people there to enjoy it. Our Praise Team was great. They shared some new songs that they will be doing in church in the future. They also did a few that they have shared before. Fred sang "Mercy's Child" and it quieted the whole room.

Cheryl Dutrumble sang a song she is working on and tried to coax her kids to join her. She said they always sing along at home. She managed to get her daughter, Anna, on stage to sing one verse with her and grandpa. Cheryl also sang a few with her dad, Paul. Paul plays the banjo and he entertained us with a few tunes on his own as well.

Jake Shank's dad, Bruce, brought his guitar and shared a moving song too. He said it was hi first time in front of a crowd but you couldn't tell from his performance. Cliff Vanase closed out the performance by borrowing a guitar and singing an old jazz tune. Then Fred and Gwyn got the whole ensemble together to sing and play, "I'll Fly Away."

I can't wait for the next one. I'll let you know when it is and I hope to see you there.
