What makes up a great Junior High talent night?

You need over one hundred willing and able teenagers attending with all sorts of expectations. Mix that up with a wild night of fun and talent, and there you have it! Last Friday was filled with many gutsy and talented students willing to put themselves out there for something more than themselves. Jackie, lead singer for the new youth band “Claimed Hearts” said, “It’s not for the fame, but for the glory of God”.

Bass player for the band, Stephanie, concurred, “Performing at talent night helps to show how much I love God and stand for my beliefs by playing for Him.”

Albert, lead guitar for the band added, “It was awesome and cool how we all worshiped at the same time and had fun. Everyone cheered for all the people who performed and that made everyone feel special.”

Way to go kids! If you are interested in getting involved with the Junior High Ministry as a counselor or member visit their website by clicking here.
