• May 31, June 1, and June 2 will be local, we will be home each evening. D-20's last day for students is June 2. They may give those days back but it doesn't seem prudent to plan an out of town trip around those dates.

• Approximate Cost: less than $100 per student

Alive Choir Tour to Oregon & Washington
June 16 - 26, 2009

The Alive High School Choir, consisting of 28 members and 8 sponsors, traveled to Oregon and Washington to present "Built on the Rock" to churches, juvenile detention facilities and senior adults. Service projects included clearing and hauling brush, and it looks like they managed to have some fun as well.  Visit our Photo Gallery to see more pictures by Marcie Stowell. Pictures of their home concert (by Lynn Allan) are available here.

Sponsor (and photographer) Marcie Stowell kept a journal during the choir tour, and you will be blessed by reading how God worked in and through this group. Her thoughts are available to view or print as a PDF file. 

Forgiven Choir Tour to Karval, CO
May 29 - 31, 2009

A group of 21 middle school students and 5 adults traveled to Karval, CO for a weekend of ministry, service and fun.  On Friday they sang the National Anthem at a rodeo in Hugo, on Saturday they worked at the church and in the community, and on Sunday they presented "Once Upon A Parable" to the Karval Fellowship.  Click here to see more pictures.

Trip Report
Forgiven, the middle school choir, was planning to go to Amarillo for their weekend ministry trip this year but God had other plans. He sent us instead to Karval Fellowship in Karval, Colorado the weekend of May 29-31. This small church is growing up under the leadership of a local rancher, Alan Carr. The church is a mission of High Plains Baptist Church in Limon. We painted picnic tables and bleachers at the community park, helped an elderly church member plant flowers and mow the grass, helped with some cleaning and touch up in the one-year old church building, sponsored a kid’s carnival with carnival games we brought from VGBC and sang at the Friday night children’s rodeo. We closed the ministry with a presentation of Once Upon a Parable in the morning worship service. I’ve heard several times from the pastor about the positive impact our kids had on the entire community.

Once Upon A Parable,
presented 5/17/09 by Forgiven, VGBC Middle School Choir

Their home concert was a fun evening which gave us a new look at some of Jesus' parables. The group traveled to Karval, Colorado on May 29 - 31.  Follow the link for more pictures.
