Hey Everyone -
LONG TIME no news from Worship International and Worship Under the Stars. As you guessed by now, we opted to not have Worship Under the Stars in 2007 for a number of reasons. Please keep praying for us to have wisdom in when to bring this event (or a similar event) back to our area.
However, I’m excited to announce a great concert that will happen THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, Oct 12 at 8:00 PM in the Ritz Theater.
It’s called “Baby Boom” and is concert to benefit my friends, James and Brooke Sellers.
You may recognize James from being one of the two electric guitar players with Worship Under the Stars. He and his wife Brooke have a strong desire to start a family, but have experienced the tragedy of multiple miscarriages in the past few years. Because of complications with these, they are moving forward with plans for “invitro”. This is an expensive procedure, and one of our mutual friends, TJ Thompson, came up with an idea - hey, let’s have a music concert and donate all the proceeds to help James and Brooke start their family.
So, the “Baby Boom” concert idea was birthed. I call it “friends making music and helping other friends accomplish a dream”. The doors open at 7:30 this Friday night and tickets are $15. ALL PROCEEDS will go to James and Brooke. The event isn’t sponsored or endorsed by any specific organization - it really is just some friends coming together to make music and help out some other friends.
Artists include:
Alex Watson
McKendree Tucker
Inside Out Band
Family Life Worship Band
and myself, along with some of my “Worship Under the Stars” friends and some new players, too!
It should be a packed night with some incredible music, worship and fun. Most of all, it’s a way to reach out and help a couple who is trying to fulfill their dream.
Hope to see you there!
Fred

On Friday and Saturday nights, Oct 20-21, 2006, Fred McKinnon will once again lead the “Worship Under the Stars” event in the Hartley Auditorium on Jekyll Island, GA. Last year’s overwhelming response of 2,500+ worshipers made us realize that TWO NIGHTS of GLORIOUS WORSHIP would be necessary to accomodate those wishing to attend.
