What an awesome collaborative partnership for God’s glory! Our Summer Jam Tour 2012 [SJT12]…Talent Showcase was a partnership between UBC’s youth praise team and the Greer First Baptist mission team from SC, singing, playing musical instruments, and acting out live dramas on Wednesday, June 20th at Lebanon Jr. High School. This venue was conducted outside on a beautiful but hot evening!

The mission team from Greer, SC was led by Robbie Gravely, with 50+ youth who shared their talents to give God glory and impact our community for Christ. Folks were seated on the lawn and in chairs enjoying the SJT12 talent showcase. Our UBC Youth Praise Band, which made a huge contribution of talent and time, was led by Mike Copenhaver. Our guests also enjoyed free, popcorn, popsicles, and hot dogs!

One of our community visitors that evening was a former US Olympic gold champion softball player! And how did we find this out? When a few of our UBC youth [Ella & Hazel] shared “Soularium” [connecting with others to share the gospel message] with her….she shared her story too!

To close out the evening together, the SC drama team performed “Arise My Love” as a crescendo of dramatic proportion for the evening. Then, the SC youth pastor, Ryan Holtzclaw, shared a clear and compelling message of the Gospel.

Our Summer Jam Tour 2012 [SJT12] leaders are Jill & Rusty Young and they continue to recruit for participants as well as laborers as we impact our community for Christ! Our next SJT12 ministry event is our Wiffleball Tournament and Family Picnic scheduled for Wednesday, July 25th. This will be held at Colonial Park North [off Monroe Rd.] and it begins at 6 PM!
