Open Mic Night

Two weeks ago we did something called Open Mic Night. I’ll be honest, I was nervous about how the night would go. My thought was “sure, everyone may think this is a great idea but I wonder how many people will actually want to share their talents with us.” That’s when I was pleasantly surprised. As soon as we announced Open Mic Night, I had six different acts that wanted to perform. When the night arrived we were up to 10. By the end of the night 12 different acts shared their talents with us. A few highlights:

_Nick Williams and his 12 friends played all sorts of instruments for us. They combined on a piece of music that was awesome!

_Jake Abernathie did what Jake does best … play the guitar, harmonica, a drum and sing all at the same time!

_Lacey Namoa played guitar and sang a song to someone close to her. He passed away a year ago on the date of Open Mic Night. Lacey did great!

_Caleb, Brittney, Grace and Jacob lead us in two songs of worship. Really proud of them!

Over all, it was a great night. Robert Bergeson came up with the idea and I’m glad he did. The next Open Mic Night will happen soon. Be ready! Until then, share your talents with us at the JCX Talent showcase this Sunday @6:30pm at YCC.
