RCC Summer Jubilee 2009

This past Friday was our annual church get together. In past it's been dubbed to "Oktoberfest" and "Festus Dei" however, this year the planning fell upon David and his "Men of Iron" responsibility. (Men of Iron is the young men's bible study he's been leading this summer.) We were given the option of renaming the event and with help from John and Nancy came up with "Summer Jubilee." We got the approval and thus a third rebranding has occured.

David has spent the better half of six weeks planning and coming up with new ideas to "spice things up." :)

It was held at Cone's farm (a family at our church).

We had concert with various RCC members showing off their talents. Grace and David did a Beatles cover of the song "For No One." I captured what I could on video, but for some reason my camera cut out the very end. :(

David had compiled a band consisting of Himself (rhythm), my brother Jon (drums), Sean Fukuda(lead guitar), Andrew Payne (bass), Joseph Forster (cello), and Kenny Hangartner (fiddle) to do a rendition of "Folsom Prison Blues."

Here's a video of the performance. Again, I was having issues with my camera and it stopped recording in the middle of the song so this is a two part video.

After the concert we had dancing.

Georgie and Levi decide they have better things to do.

Later a special announcement was made thanking David for all of his hard work. As a token of the church's appreciation they had bought a brand new BBQ for us! What a surprising blessing!

The event was a great success.
