Winterjam 2011, Columbia SC

FBC Youth recently attended WinterJam '11 which has become an annual event for us.  As usual, they saw some old friends including Jimmy Steen and the Frasers -- Jordan, Anslee and Brenna.

The following is a report from Shannon Williams Christofferson, a brave and honorable chaperone.

We loaded the bus and I was taking pictures of everyone so we knew what they had on (just in case).  Needless to say, they all thought I was crazy.  When I told Gabby to look at me, she threw up the crazy face.  She was so excited.  This was to be her very first concert.


We stopped at Zaxby’s to fill up before the concert.  Poor Libby and her friend got stuck sitting with Dad!


 Still at Zaxby’s filling up.  This picture took three attempts.  Hunter kept looking every direction except towards the camera.  So Grayson wrapped his arm around him and forced him to focus!

Two chaperones at the very beginning of the concert.  We were happy to get everyone to our seats and accounted for:


The coliseum was packed.  Kids were screaming and cheering before, during and after every song.  It was an awesome experience to watch.  At one point, we all collectively bowed our heads and prayed for Jesus to forgive us our sins.  Then they asked the people who had never prayed for it before to stand up and cheer.  There were so many that cheered!  It was an amazing feeling to hear all of those kids accepting Christ in the middle of a concert.


Cody was so happy and having so much fun.  All of the kids were really getting into the music and the movements. 


April is an amazing child of God!  Every time I went to take her picture she would stop moving.  Through the entire event, she danced and sang.  April has no inhibitions about worshipping God the way she wants.  We could all take a lesson from her.

It was a Ho-Down good time!  One of the bands played a song that was reminiscent of an Old Southern Ho-Down.  Blake had to dance appropriately!


On the way home!  No one lost!  Everyone tired!  All still going strong!  Fun was had by all!
