Youth Challenge Update

Youth Challenge is always an exciting time for several reasons. As we so often do in our holiness churches, whether it be adult or youth occasions, we give updates to the rest of the congregation that could not or did not go. Last evening in youth service, those who attended Youth Challenge spoke of the highlights. One of our young people said that they really enjoyed the music. Now remember, this presentation is given to alot of "older people" in our church who really do not understand what Youth Challenge is really like. With this thought in mind, this young person went on to say that the part that they enjoy most of the music was "when they had that lady up there dancing around on the piano bench." and they left it at that. As pastor I thought I would have a long line awaiting me at my office door after church wondering what kind of night club our young people were going to. Come to find out that this lady "dancing around on the piano bench" was none other than Kimberly
Collingswoth. If you have seen her play, she doesn't necessarily mimic a statue. She puts herself into her music. You do not know the sense of relief that I felt upon hearing this explination!!!
