With and For Our City

Go Green!  Regatta and River Walk Festival

One of the joys of planting New City Church is the amazing opportunities we have to be an influence in our city.  I say with praise to God alone that I have never seen anything like this.  I have never even heard of anything like this!

To raise awareness of the beautiful resource that we have in the Ocmulgee River as well as to raise awareness and support for our city's River Walk, today was the First Annual Go Green Regatta and River Walk Festival.  As the event was coming together, New City had an opportunity to help out by lining up all of the music for the festival.  We took it.  

High Energy Systems provided an incredible sound set up for us that made life simple for all of our musicians and put out perfect sound along the River!  We easily lined up musicians to cover 8 sets - every musician was GREAT!  We used some of our own - Beth Hyde, and one of our New City Bands - the other 6 slots were old friends and several new friends we have met from the city!  One Bad Catholic played, along with Jared Wright (pictured), Dan Darden, Anny Stanley, Getrude's Mojo, and Tripp Spears.  A great day!

Thanks to all who served (Russell, Bryan, Rich, JD) and all who performed!  You made today a great celebration, and a great day for us to be with and for our city!
