Higher Ground and the Buchanan County Youth Lock-In

Hey everyone:

We had the privilege of participating in the 2005 Buchanan County Youth Lock-In last night. The lock in is an all-night event put on for the youth of Buchanan and surrounding counties. It was AWESOME! Belinda and Allen Honaker coordinate the event at Twin Valley High School and I want to say, the did a SUPERB job! The entertainment was great and there was excitement in the air. I think there were around 400 in attendance. This event is an outstanding asset to our community....GREAT JOB BELINDA AND ALLEN!

Belinda graciously allowed Higher Ground to put an information table in the lobby. We communicated with a ton of people and put promo materials in everyone's hands. God truly blesses with opportunities!

It was great to see Reverend Ronnie Ward and his team from St. Albans, WV! What a long trip! We hope to have them at Higher Ground soon. The New Life Drama team performed - all I can say is "WOW!" I literally laughed to tears at some of their work. These teens and young adults are so committed to Christ. They performed last night, all night loing, then were booked to drive all the way to Chesapeak, VA (about 9-10 hours) to perform today - pray for them! Higher Ground will host them some time this summer....so keep watching the schedule.

I want to offer a special shout out and a BIG THANK YOU to Tiffany Watson, Ren Harman, and Emily Ratliff! You guys are the BOMB! Tiff, Ren, and Em really pressed toward the mark of the high calling of Christ by talking to people, giving out information and generally promoting Higher Ground and promoting Jesus Christ...Thank you!!!

Tonight at Higher Ground we will have Eddie and Mary Day, the Higher Ground house Band, Jeff Arwood, The Numbers Game, and maybe ZeroGravity. Should be fun....see you there! ;)

In Christ...BR
