Rockin' at the Wild Horse Saloon

SO what is a christian/gospel group doing playing in Nashville hottest Bar? Well, hopefully taking a little bit of Gods word to folks that needed to hear it but also we were competing in the first annual Media Challenge to benefit the United Way. We were one of three acts asked to represent WSMV-TV Channel 4. We didn't win but that's not important. What is important is that God was glorified, a great charity was helped and we had a blast playing on the biggest stage we have ever had a chance to appear on, and as you will see Tommy made the most of every inch of it!



We really had a great time but now it is time to get back to what X-ALT! is really about as we head back to Riverbend Prison this Sunday to bring the service to the men who are incarcerated there.
God has truly blessed us with opportunities to do so many different things and to serve him in so many different ways.
Always remember that God is good, and his blessings overflow.

John Wesley UMC

Thank you so much to the great folks at John Welsey UMC, especially our dear friend Elder Kenneth Edmondson, for inviting us to take part in the Homecoming celebration. We were blessed, and I'm not just saying that, to be a part of this wonderful afternoon of Praise and worship. The speaker for the service was Pastor William Dobbins II of Springfield Parish United Methodist Church who preached on Peace. Peace in the world, in our homes, in our relationships and in our personal ministries. The Springfield Parish UMC Choir also joined in the festivities and lifted the Word to a all new level. It was so cool when we did "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and "Lean On Me", they joined in and added so much to our music that I just could not believe how cool it all sounded.
It was truly a wonderful afternoon.
Thanks again to Pastor "E" and the good folks at John Wesley UMC.
God Bless you all!

New Beginnings Coffee House is Saturday the 13th

You don't want to miss this one. We have tried hard to surpass (or at least live up to) the last coffee house at New Beginnings and I think we have done it. Check out the poster and make plans to attend. I'll be updating the blog with info on the performers as we get closer to the event.

God Bless

Now here's some of what you missed

Yesterday I posted some shots from our busy Sunday, here are two videos from the Word Of Life Christian Center Event.

First off, here is a group of incredible kids that performed before us. The Unity Steppers from Word of Life in Dickson, TN. How do you follow something like this?!?



Well, if you are X-ALT! you do it like this...



Need I remind you that God's spirit, strength and love was in the house that night.

More to come

No explanation for this one.....

Some Days Will Last In Your Memories Forever

This is part of an e-mail I sent to the band this morning...

I hope you are all as proud as I am to have been a part of both the Homecoming in Cookeville as well as the incredible night at Word Of Life. I wish you all could have stayed through the end. To say we made an impression would be an understatement. Pastor Arthur has asked us to return to do the next Praise and Worship concert but he also wants us to do a Sunday Morning service as well. This is a huge deal! And honestly something I had not expected. You all took that extra step last night and were on the top of your game and proved that X-ALT! can stand with the best! God has blessed us and continues to do so and I truly hope you all felt God moving through us and through that church last night. God was there and let all of us know it!

I'm still reeling from our day yesterday, especially our appearance at Word Of Life Christian Center last night. When I've had more sleep I'll post pictures and video for the appearances and do my best to describe what was a totally un-describable evening of worship.

God Bless
