Sharing What You're Made Of - Part 3

October 19, 2005

Love Shack Ba-by! Can't get the song outta my head now! Troy Gardner of Valley Fellowship Christian Church in Goodyear, AZ sent us this creative entry. This 19-month-old church plant decided to catch the attention of their community (consisting of an average age of 36) by using the jams they would allLove_shack_front_copy_1 recognize. Their goal was to squash the prevalent opinion that church is "boring and the music sucks!" They flooded the area with 20,000 of these psychedelic flyers to draw in the crowds. Then they completed it by decorating with "hippy" flowers and an inflatable tiki hut "Love Shack" right on stage. Their band learned the music to the song, re-wrote the words...and it was on!

Tell me this song isn't just playing over and over in your head...

Keep 'em coming!! Show Us What You're Made Of - we're still taking submissions! You have until the end of October so get your entry in! Keep an eye on the CP blog for more great stuff!
