Spirit Bound is on their final tour after 24 years of music ministry!

They loaded the buses last Friday night, June 18, to head out to the east coast (Boston) and then back again for their final Homecoming Potluck and Performance on Sunday June 27!  Before they got on the buses, each member of Spirit Bound was given a candle and a card to give to someone that they meet on their trip who lets the light of Christ shine in their life. 

The theme of the drama this year is “Find the Good Way.”  It’s a story about change, how God leads and guides us in life, and paying attention to the new challenges, ministries, and work God is inviting us to take on.  But it is also about letting the light of Christ shine in our lives through everything we do and say.

It may not surprise you to find out that the members of Spirit Bound have already given out a number of candles to some of the many people they have met. 

One person was a 90 year old artist, whose son brought her to one of the performances.  She was so touched by their music and message, and just the love of Jesus that radiated from the members of Spirit Bound, she invited everyone to come visit her artists studio and shop the next day.  Her son told some of the members of Spirit Bound how much their performance impacted his mom.

Another person happened to be following the Spirit Bound bus as they made a wrong turn off of a round about while trying to find Plymouth Rock.  They pulled up alongside the bus, knocked on the door, got in and helped them get back on the right roads to get to where they were going.  It was just because they recoginzed the bus and decided to see if they needed any help.

The tour is going great!  People are keeping their cell phones off while on the bus and are (gasp!) actually talking to one another and having a good time!!!  (Sorry to those who have lost their voices!).  They are heading toward Boston and more opportunities to let their light shine while taking the “Freedom Trail” visiting the Boston Public Library, or going to see “Toy Story 3″ (really guys?).

Join us as we welcome them home on Sunday afternoon, June 27, around 4:00pm, and then help us serve them a HUGE POTLUCK to show them our support.  Their final performance starts at 7:00pm, and I hope everyone can join us to pack the sanctuary to standing room only!  And as always, we could use your help setting up and cleaning up, so give me a call (952) 454-6927 or email me at pastor.kent@christusvictor.org.
