Youth Choir
The youth choir is open to youth in grades 6-12. Both choirs rehearse on Sundays at 3:45 pm during the school year. Forgiven, the Middle School Choir, meets in Room 134 and Alive, the High School Choir, meets in the Worship Center.  If you would like more information on Youth Choir opportunities, please e-mail Jay Hill, Minister of Music. 

Alive HS Choir Tour May 31 - June 6, 2010 Alive, the high school choir, just returned from ministry locally and on the road May 31 through June 6. We sang at three youth facilities. One in the Springs, one in Green Mountain Falls, and one in Pueblo. From Pueblo we traveled west to Norwood, Colorado where we teamed up with Joe and Judy Bowman, now pastoring the Norwood Southern Baptist Church.

We presented a concert on Thursday night and worked at the high school helping with clean-up and at the cemetery straightening and leveling tombstones and markers. The cemetery caretaker was thrilled. Our labor has opened doors for Joe and Judy in that community that might have otherwise taken them years to touch. We concluded the trip leading the 8:30 a.m. music at First Baptist Church, Raton, New Mexico. We were ministered to as we shared and participated in their worship and the pastor’s message. Our home concert was the climax of this ministry. We led our home church in an evening of honest, spiritual worship. God was honored and we were all blessed. What a privilege to be a part of this ministry.Jay W. Hill

2009 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.

2009 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.
