20008 Youth Choir Tour Wrap Up
Our youth choir, HeavenBound, recently returned from the Martin Luther King weekend tour. This year the choir left on Friday afternoon for Escondido, California. The choir arrived at First UMC of Escondido to spend the night. The next morning on Saturday the choir had a great fun day at Knott’s Berry Farm and traveled back to the church to sleep in their fellowship hall once again. Sunday morning the choir was introduced to a warm welcome at both services in which they sang two songs. Rev. Bill Colby had served as senior pastor at this church for several years as one of his appointments and this tour was in honor of his memory. Both Cathy Colby and Rev. Matt Colby were treated to several compliments about the choir and fond remembrances of Pastor Bill in between the services at the patio coffee fellowship. After, the worship services the choir made the long trek home carrying many good memories of their own from this trip. Special thanks to Kathy Peate for her many hours of driving and additional adult leadership. Congratulations, to Cathy Colby, the choir’s director, for making HeavenBound such great ambassadors for Vista!
