Reflection TroyToy

TroyToy seemed to be alot of fun for the kids! Christian youth events can be cheesy (to say the least) but I felt that tonight was an enjoyable and inclusive event for the churched and unchurched alike. The sound was LOUD!!!!!

It was alot of fun tonight and I think it takes nights like that just to loosen us up and realise that God can handle our fun.

Our set was: Arise, Close to you, Victorious, Glory and then Rescuer. I felt that Victorious went very well, this song needs a light-hearted approach - sometimes we can take ourselves too seriously and so I think this song worked well because we relaxed and had fun with it. Again, Rescuer was great and alot of the kids seemed to move off to the prayer room during the song so I hope they were both challenged and encouraged. It continues to be a song that people catch onto but regardless of how many times we have played it I still find it a real challenge to sing with integrity but I love that it almost commands me to throw everything off and raise my hands with freedom because of what Jesus has done for us.

"O what a Saviour, freedom forever, we lift our hands with chains undone;
Hearts that know mercy, cannot stay silent, we sing a song of saving love".
