The Jesus Prom

Last night I had the privilege of singing at the Jesus Prom again.  It's really a great time and such a great outreach.  For those who have never heard of it, it is a "prom" for special needs folks, where they come together at Southland Christian Church, dress up, dance and have a great time.  There is a part of the evening when the lights go up, the Gospel is presented, and the participants are given a gift--this year a cross necklace.  There are also lots of volunteers who come out and decorate, mix in with the crowd, and all kinds of other stuff that I'm sure I don't even know about.

I'm part of a band that does some fun music from decades past, and we have had the opportunity to play at the Jesus Prom for the past 5 years.  It's such a blessing to be there, and especially to realize the effort and time that so many people put into such an event, which is geared to show the love of Christ to those who are many times brushed aside from the "in" of society.

It's fun for me personally, because, well, I enjoy singing with the band, but also because it's great to be a part of such a massive event that has such a great purpose.  I pray that lives were touched last night, but especially that some met Jesus for the first time.  That's what it's all about!
