  • Master of ceremonies – Steve Hill
  • Sound techs – Thyran Thiry and Monte Madison
  • Media – Michael Grizzaffi
  • Videographer – Ken Verheecke
  • Concessions - Leonne Seevers and Cheryl Goldammer

Thanks so much to all of the talent, volunteers, and the voters who came out to support.  Together, you helped us raise just over $1,000 to support the student ministries of Destiny!

TOP THREE WINNING ACTS:

1st Place: the Astin family
2nd Place: Nick Reid
3rd Place: dance team featuring the Alyea’s, the Larimers, Shelby Reid, and Sarah DeWitt

Elevate Student Ministries will be selling cold drinks and candy bars all weekend long.  Students interested in getting financial help towards their camp balances (due next Sunday, the 13th) can contact Pastor Deanna for a time-slot to serve.  Look for the green table in the foyer just outside the childrens’ ministry room…

It’s gonna be a fun night!  See you there!

I previewed this video to a friend on the West Coast earlier this week.  His reaction?  “Awesome! I wish he was MY pastor!” LOL!

If you are not familiar with this annual event, the Elevation Talent Show is an entertaining mix of talent, fun, and laughs.  Several acts audition and compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prices.  The audience gets to place votes for their favorite acts with cash or check at the intermission and after the show.  All proceeds benefit the teenagers of Elevate Student Ministries.  It’s a great event all around!

Seriously, though, if you haven’t set up an audition time with Pastor Deanna yet, today is your last day.  This is the last week she is doing auditions for the event.  Hurry!
