Last weekend we had the fun opportunity to see the Newsboys at Elitch Gardens in Denver Colorado.  What a fun summer event, I was thrilled!

What a blast!  About two weeks prior I had found we could purchase VIP tickets to ensure that we were able to get in, since the concert was free with admission to the park.

What we didn’t realize is that the tickets were for the very front of the arena.  We found ourselves right in front of the stage, nearly center!

There was a security person stationed right by us and we were able to visit with him just a little.   I found myself praying for him off and on during the concert, as the Gospel was shared and sung though out the evening.  It was a great evening of worship and fun.

The opening band wasn’t advertised so we didn’t know until 1GirlNation bounded onto the stage.  Mae recognized them right away and I was able to make the connection to a past conversation when she told me about some music by a “girl band.”

This was a first concert for our girls and I am so glad we were able to share it with them.  We are looking forward to Rend Collective and Casting Crowns in October.  A couple of us are working those two concerts as Compassion volunteers!
