Last weekend Wes went out to Princeton High School for the Rockin' Winter Bash with WWC! and others. The Princeton Herald was also out there, and they published an article about the show. Here is part of that article...
Youth rock out at Christian concert
By Jennifer Fike, Staff Writer
Friday night Fellowship Worship Center teamed up wtih the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and PowerFM to present a rock concert at Princeton High School. The concert began at 7 p.m. and blasted through 11 p.m., offering students the chance to hear five bands and to spend time with their friends while learning about Christ.
The idea for the first-ever Rockin’ Winter Bash was Josh Brown’s. As a youth worker at Fellowship he wanted to do something that was going to be different and that would attract a lot of the young people in Princeton.
“We want to reach the community in untraditional ways,” Brown said, “this wasn’t about the bands as much as being an outlet for everyone to come together.”
As a guitarist for two of the bands that performed, the Jesus Lovin’ Hobos and WWC (Whatever We’re Called), Brown used his musical ties and enlisted the help of PowerFM and the Princeton High School and Clark Junior High’s FCAs to make the idea both a reality and a success.
More than three hundred people attended the concert that featured Christian rap and rock music, as well as a dance team.
“The concert was good for a small place like Princeton, I was impressed by the number of people that came out to the show,” Wes Rogers said, who works for Power FM’s promotion team. He said, “It seemed like everyone was pretty excited to see the bands that performed. The crowd was great, seemed like they all were big Christian Rock fans.”
