August 3rd - Kingdom Bound!

Hi everyone! This is Becca and Will, reporting about our Wednesday trip to the Kingdom Bound festival at Darien Lake. After about a 2 hour drive from the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center, we arrived at the theme park.

We wasted no time getting into the Spirit of things (haha!) and headed to the Worship Tent to spend time praising God to awesome music. We also got to walk through the Christian merchandise tent, buying some books, Christian music CDs, and some Bible verse jewelry.

I (Will) headed to a seminar on utilizing social networks for Christian outreach. Pr. Jeff and I (Becca) stayed in the Worship Tent for some more God time.

Then the deluge happened. For more than an hour and half, rain came down in buckets. We found some shelter in a pizza place in the park, and Pr. Jeff found the time useful, since he needed to write his sermon for Sunday! Come to church this Sunday to find out if he was successful…

Once the first draft of the sermon was done, we went back to the Worship Tent even though the rain was still going.  Unexpectedly, the teens showed up at that point as well, and we all worshiped together to Christian blues music.

We all ate dinner after that, and then the teens went to hear a speaker and save spots for us for the Chris Tomlin concert, and we went to the Worship Tent to worship a bit and to hear Robin Mark. Everything was running late, though, so once they did their sound check we only got to hear 1 ½ songs before we had to power walk across the park to see Chris Tomlin.

The concert was AWESOME!!!!!!! About 20,000 Christians were gathered in the Performing Arts Center, all singing along to Chris Tomlin’s songs and praising God.  It was an experience that was unlike anything we had ever seen or experienced, and we will never forget it.

We didn’t get back to LCLC until about 1am, we were exhausted! The teens were able to pass out in the car on the way home, but the three adults were wide awake. Well, I (Becca) was wide awake for most of the ride…

So, in short, Kingdom Bound was an amazing, worshipful experience!!!
