Amazing Holy iBand!

PLEASE check this out! http://www.youtube.com/user/sweetemmilyn

Yesterday, our church, Northpoint Community Church, in Alpharetta, put together this AMAZING performance! We missed church last week because Blake was sick with a very high fever. SO GLAD we made it today!

Who would have thought that today of all days, we'd have a front row seat? We were looking around for a seat when one of the ushers offered to show us to a seat and we were lucky enough to be put right on the front row!

So we just sat down when these two guys came out and stood silently with their iPads in their hands, the camerman trained on them. I'm thinking "Huh?" (The band and singers are usually rocking out Holy praises about now.)

Well, so one guy starts this music mix, sort of a Mannheim Steamroller sound, by just tapping the screen on his iPad! And it gets fed over the whole sound system through the earphone jack on his ipad! I was surprised at the sound quality for one, not to mention amazed at teh ingenuity of the idea!

The next guy joins in shortly with an instrument to develop the sound. It already sounded amazing but then more guys kept filing in, one by one, bringing other sounds to life on their iPads or iPods! The whole church was amazed. We were laughing, and just totally digging this ingenius performance!

Then they did another song, and as we are all laughing and hootin', ANOTHER guy comes out singing "Feliz Navidad" into his iPhone! Hilarious! Not only was it great timing, but his performance was so perfect, too. Great voice.

This was just so fun, I WISH I'd had my wits with me enough to start recording from the very beginning.

GREAT JOB, NORTHPOINT!!!!

Who said Christianity and God had to be staid and serious all the time?! We are to praise, love, laugh and ENJOY God forever!

I can only imagine what Heaven will be like if we humans are just a foretaste of the creativity of GOD Himself!
