Selahphonic

Over the last couple of days we've been blessed to have the guys from Melbourne band Selahphonic in town. Jamie Coyle from Youth Dimension started the band a couple of years ago and gathered together a few musicians who had the same vision: to record & perform a musical journey of the Gospel targeted at High School young people. Check out more here.

They played in Helensvale High on Thursday, Southport State High on Friday and came to our Youth Group on Friday night. Jamie on guitar and vocals, Matt Dickens on guitar and vocals and QLDer Nick Gibson on drums. Their message was fantastic and the way they presented it was fantastic! After the service they hung around with our Senior High youth and answered some of their 'hard questions'! From what I heard it was pretty full on!

Meanwhile the Junior High youth were off at a local park running around and bashing each other up...well sort of! We had pizza & games in the park.
What was really awesome for me was that a lady from church rang yesterday afternoon and asked me to make contact with a guy in year 9 who was thinking about coming to youth group. So I rang him and he was keen to come. He came along and was pretty quiet but I had a chance to chat with him because we went to grab the pizzas together. It's so encouraging when God tees up that kind of thing and all we have to do is make a phone call and put in a bit of effort. So often God is just waiting to partner with us!
