"Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals."
Psalm 150:3-5
On August 2nd and 3rd we were blessed to attend the Majesty Music Conference in Woodbridge, Virginia. We scheduled our annual canoe and hiking trip around it. It was exciting to be with fellow believers and develop our music abilities with our wonderful teachers. One of the main focuses was voice, so all the participants (after three and a half hours of practice) were able to be part of the choir in the closing concert. The Majesty Music and The Wilds faculty did a fantastic job teaching us more about music, practicing, instruments, and voice; but, most importantly, reminding us that our voices and musical talents are to be used for God's glory. We are very grateful to Heritage Baptist Church for providing such a great facility for the conference and all they did for the participants.
I (along with the rest) thoroughly enjoyed meeting Matt and Christy Taylor from The Wilds. Using their amazing voices for God's glory has been a blessing to me.

We were very blessed to hear powerful devotionals by Pastor Kurt Skelly and Evangelist Caleb Garraway.
Dr. Warren Cook, our amazing and humorous, choir director! He was so much fun!

After two days of the conference, the closing night was the grand finale, the concert. There were about two hundred people in the choir. Can you find us!? For those of you that might be interested, you can watch the whole concert here:

It was a blessing to meet old friends and make new ones!
I am so thankful for the wonderful time we had together and the great things we learned!
In Jesus' name,
