More from Ignite Chicago

Some stills to go along with the videos from Ignite Chicago. Ignite is a Christian music festival held at Alexian Field in Schaumburg, Illinois. Thing2 and I went and spent the day (a beautiful day) listening to great music and talking to people.

TruEmotion - Cute girls with nice voices. Great for the young teens.



Vicky Beeching - An import from England. I predict a big future for this girl.



John Reuben - To be honest I'm not a hip-hop fan but the words are worth listening to.



Seventh Day Slumber - New to me but a pretty good band. The last song of their set was really a testimony about the power of God. Incredible.



Me and Thing2 during a break in the show



Tree 63 - Another import. This time from South Africa. Great worship band.



And several thousand of my closest friends. Taken from the first base line up by concession stands





Barlow Girl - One of my favorite bands. We have seen them lead worship at Willow Creek (awesome) but in concert they are incredible.

Alyssa



Lauren



Becca



Rebecca St. James - To be honest I wasn't expecting much. I like listening to her but I didn't think the performance would be much to watch. I was wrong. Great performance.



David Crowder Band - I didn't realize how many of his songs I knew and loved. Next time he comes through town I think I'll take Thing2 and see the show. Wow!

Here's David Crowd(er) surfing



And performing



Finally - Casting Crowns. Great performance. Awesome way to end the night.



What a great day! If you're into Christian music this is a festival for you. I hope it becomes an annual event.

A first for me

I just ordered tickets online to go to Church.

Not our home Church but Willow Creek. We were talking at dinner about Good Friday services and then Easter at our Church when the wife mentions going to Willow on Saturday to see what it is like then for a holiday. Ok - why not? We've gone there a few times before and the kids and I really like worship there. The wife - not so much. This will be the first for a Christian holy day.

It should be interesting...

P.S. The tickets were free.
