A NIGHT OF WORSHIP AT SADDLEBACK

Tuesday evening, February 25, 2014, His Voice traveled south into Orange County for their second visit to the faith community of Saddleback.  This evening they arrived at Clubhouse 7 off Moulton Parkway in Laguna Woods in time to enjoy some good food and friendly faces before the concert. 
.
The evening concert "A Night of Worship" began with His Voice surrounding the colorful tables full of chatting guests and filling the room with the rich sound of men's voices as they sang at first softly and then filling the whole room with the grand praise of,  "Holy, Holy, Holy."
.
Toward the end of the concert, Saddleback Pastor Dick Whitton lead those gathered in a Communion service with small glasses of grape juice and single discs of soup crackers as he read the story of the Last Supper. 
.
Some of the community heard His Voice earlier in January and enthusiastically shared with the men some of their favorite songs from the "Written in Red" and "Almighty God" CDs.  Others came for the first time and were delighted to receive gift CDs to take His Voice home with them. 
.
Although, the journey  down the crowded freeways into Orange County was long, the evening interwoven with praises to God, words from the Holy Scripture, and prayer circles with new friends were sweet reminders of the presence of Jesus.  
 
Below are a few photos from that evening.
